Plus, all owners of The Halloween Pass 2 who unlock each of the 15 ranks — including those who already completed all ranks last year — will be rewarded with the Hired Gun Kit, a package that includes the Fierro Bandana, bundles of ammo and consumables, and Capitale valued at 5 Gold Bars. All Rewards and Offers will be delivered within 72 hours of completion.
