It’s almost time to sit down, strap in, and plunder to your heart’s content as Uncharted 4 enjoys its second Relic bonus weekend event. From “Friday, August 5 at 11am PST / 8pm CEST until 11am PST / 8pm CEST Monday, August 8”, players will earn an additional 50% of the game’s earn-able currency by completing daily challenges.
For those out of the loop, Relics can be spent on a plethora of multiplayer goodies, from iconic characters and skins to specialised weapons, all of which comes from random loot chests. There are no duplicates here, so fans are encouraged to splash out, tweaking either their appearance of playstyle with the treasures they earn.
Naughty Dog has also rolled out a new update that should help balance the game’s online portion too. Most notably the HS39 and Mettler M-30 recoil mod has lost some of its effectiveness while the Harbinger heavy sniper will now down AND knock out an opponent with a single headshot. Ouch!
