Battle Pass[]
IMMOVABLE OBJECT
Logically, I know it wasn't my fault. But this feeling remains. My friend is gone forever, and I can sketch, I can listen to music, I can train. But she's still not coming back.
Deimos deserves a fate worse than the one his victims at Tower met with. You attack us like that? You sign your own death warrant. I don't care how strong an enemy appears, we do not stop.
When you're Redhammer, there is no such thing as an immovable object. We're coming.

Trivia[]
- This was the last season (and by extension year) to have Terrorist Hunt in the Training Grounds playlist before it was replaced with Target Drill and Verses AI.
- The Dummies that were released in Operation Vector Glare have now become hostile. This is the second time that there have been three hostile AI factions since the release of Operation Chimera with the Archeans.
