Beginning this Friday, October 17th, suit up and join your fellow mercenaries in the second Blackshot Closed Beta Test! You experienced the heat of battle in the first Closed Beta - but there’s more where that came from!

The Blackshot closed beta was a huge success! We listened to your feedback and have been working hard to make Blackshot the best first-person shooter on the market!

During the second Closed Beta Test we will be performing additional testing and game client patching to provide all players with the best possible gameplay experience. Of particular importance is improving network stability and bug fixes. We welcome all gamers from the first Closed Beta Test and look forward to your feedback during CBT2!

New features of the CBT2 include:

- Two new primary weapons - the SCAR and MP5K PDW
- One new map - RED MANSION

Experience intense new search and destroy missions in the Red Mansion map while blasting opponents with the new SCAR rifle and MP5K submachine gun.
