👀 Check the Event Hub The SSPP Contracts event ends on August 19. The Receipts will disappear along with it, so make sure to spend them in the shop before then. The additional Coliseum challenges will also be removed from the Event Hub, so the upcoming weekend is a great opportunity to complete anything you haven’t finished yet. ✔️ Good luck completing your objectives! 🤍 STALZONE

🏆 Coliseum highlights The arena remembers those who emerged victorious. Now it’s time to leave your mark. Show us your best Colosseum moment for a chance to win a Wooden Crate! The rules are simple: • The clip must be your own and recorded in the Colosseum; • No heavy editing or montages; • One clip per participant; • Submit your clip in the comments under this post; • Submissions are open until August 16, inclusive; • Rewards will be distributed within two business weeks after the contest ends. 🏟 Step into the arena! 🤍 STALZONE

🔈 We're Still Waiting on Your Shot 🔔 The contest is still open, but entries have been a little quiet. That's a shame, because the rewards here are genuinely worth fighting for. The old-timers say the Zone tells a different story to everyone who enters it. Some see endless firefights, some see haunting beauty hidden behind anomalies, others see the greatest movie never made. Which story will you tell? Use the new Photo Mode (F4) to clip your action, horror, Lo-Fi, memes, drama, pure atmosphere, whatever the Zone looks like through your eyes. Submissions are open now and close on August 31. Full rules, categories, and rewards can be found here. 📸 Grab your camera and show us your #szfragments. 🤍 STALZONE
