3.6.8

Version 3.6.8, released May 17, 2005.

Features

On May 19, 2005, PlanetSide celebrates its 2nd Year Anniversary. This anniversary brings two special rewards for the community. A Two Year Term of Service Merit and a Heavy Sniper Rifle.

  • Two Year Term of Service Merit - This merit is granted to characters that have been in creation for two years.
  • Heavy Sniper Rifle - The Heavy Sniper Rifle is a powerful alternative to the Bolt Driver for snipers. It uses high-caliber "bolt" ammunition like the Bolt Driver, but holds a ten-shot clip and can be fired much more rapidly, albeit with a significant penalty to accuracy. All three empires have chosen to make this weapon available to all soldiers with at least two years of service.
