On the 16th, Nexon (co-CEOs Kang Dae-hyun and Kim Jung-wook) announced the launch of a weapon skin idea contest to commemorate the 21st anniversary of its popular online FPS game, 'Sudden Attack'.

Winning ideas from this contest will be developed into actual in-game weapon skins, and submissions are open until August 5. You can enter with just a concept or an idea image, and all participants will receive 500 SP as a gift. Additionally, those who participate in the final round voting starting August 13 will receive a 'September Monthly Character Multi-Count.' Up to 10 finalists will be awarded 50k Nexon Cash and 21st-anniversary merchandise, while the grand prize winner will receive 500k Nexon Cash, a permanent 'MG1-exclusive version' of their winning skin, and the text title '[Gold Hand].'

Additionally, Nexon applied the third phase of its 2026 weapon overhaul in an update on the 16th. This update focuses on balancing combat between certain secondary weapons and primary weapons, as well as increasing the utility of various primary weapons. The primary weapon 'FAMAS' will receive a base damage increase to maximize its firepower in combination with its fast fire rate. 'SIG556' and 'ANR' will see improved shooting stability through reduced recoil, allowing beginners to engage in combat more comfortably. Conversely, the secondary weapon 'TAC-9' will have its destructive power adjusted to better align with other weapons.

To celebrate, a challenge quest will run until July 30, allowing players to test the overhauled weapons. Players who complete specific missions in modes such as Bomb Mission, Team Deathmatch, and Individual Match will be granted the overhauled weapons in an activated state.

Furthermore, to mark the summer season, an 'Internet Cafe Event to Beat the Heat' will be held until July 30. Depending on cumulative playtime at a Internet cafe, players will be rewarded with various items, including 'Gaming' series weapons like the new permanent 'PPS(S) Gaming' and 'Taser Gaming', as well as 'My Gun 2 Primary Weapon Half-Kit' and 'Permanent Seal'.

More details about the 'Sudden Attack' 21st-anniversary weapon skin idea contest can be found on the official website.
