    It's been dropping SCR for me since they updated the OM drops after the 12/6 patch.

    That might end when Reprint does, though.

    Is this gonna make the prevous gift (or "bonus) expire? because last one (i think it was a costume slot) disspaeared from store's bonus tab when it's event ended, unlike previous gifts (respecs, other costume slots, etc) that could be sitting in there YEARS and didn't expire, i've claimed some of those when coming back before.

    I'm worried because i still haven't claimed the one that is there right now, because i can't decide which toon needs the free costume slot more.

    Ha, the Jailbreak om update was meant for last week, but wasn't quite ready in time so it was pushed to this week.

    You can claim those bonus items until the end of the event, then they will be removed from the store.

    Bug- The "Jailhouse Rock" perk for completing the Jailbreak OM doesn't seem to be working.

    Completed the open mission a few times, waited around for several minutes afterward, and the perk never completed.

    has anyone actually been getting the new prison om rewards? i've not seen those mods drop even though the display vendor shows them ingame, and the om itself is updated. this is strange because most scr om drop their respective mods consistently.

    Indeed, i've been doing the OM a few times and there hasn't been any drop, not even the particle mods ones.

    (we are getting the silver Recognition though, which we apreciate it)

    Cozy Fire is the kind of things I love to see added to the game. If only it unlocked a Campfire emote to use as you please.

    I just noticed that my Account Bound Spectral and Ghostly Auras were converted into BoE.
