New Content
PPK-20
The PPK-20 is a modern submachine gun chambered for 9x19mm cartridges. It is based on the Vityaz-M, but is more compact and lightweight, and features improved ergonomics: it is equipped with a folding stock and Picatinny rails along the entire length for mounting optics and accessories, while the fire selector and safeties are located on both sides.
The simple bolt action ensures reliability and makes the PPK-20 a suitable weapon for both close-quarters combat and long-range firefights.
Two new styles for Linus Rimmel, meet Engineer and Sniper! In addition to the appearance, there is also a cool new gun, the PPK-20 from the Strike of Loyalty weapon series.
Random boxes with the Engineer skin are already available in the Shop. Boxes with the Sniper skin will be introduced later on.

SIG MPX Copperhead
This submachine gun has been fully reworked and now has 2 versions, single and dual. Owners of the SIG MPX Copperhead will receive both versions after the update.
