“A holiday armistice should be steadfast, but reprobates can’t be trusted. Protect decorated holdouts and settlements across the West — from Adler Ranch to Rhodes — against tides of rogues and scoundrels in A Merry Call to Arms, and earn 2X RDO$, XP, and Gold.”

That’s not all though, as completing the mission with friends will earn you extra rewards (including maybe the coolest jacket in the entire game).

“Plus, participate in A Merry Call to Arms with a Persistent Posse to receive the San Luis Shore Treasure Map and reach Wave 5 to receive the red Winter Shotgun Coat, both through January 6.”

And even if you don’t fancy actually playing any missions, simply logging in will earn you a bunch of free stuff too.

Rockstar also announced that they’re “lifting the Rank lock on the Krampus Shotgun” and that logging in during this period will also earn you the “Winter Evans Repeater Variant.”

Awful nice of them to give us all this free stuff, just in time for Christmas.

Would be an awful lot nicer if a different, trailer-shaped present was under the Christmas tree instead though…
