It was first hinted on October 22 at the end of the Into the Woods event.

This is part two of desert-related events, the previous being Desert Rain and the next being Frozen Deserts.

Gunfight at the Deadeye Saloon was the name for the second instance of the Desert Rain event, which applied to squads only as it did before, and lasted from Nov. 9-13, 2018. The event brought back the Peacemaker and Model 94. The event introduced the M1911 pistol and M1A1 SMG. A Vector variant using .45 ACP was introduced, the first gun variant in the game (excluding dual pistols.)

9mm guns were said to be impossible to find during this event, but many people found guns such as the MAC-10 and the UMP9. It was hinted in the Androided Up update.

If a bunker opens in a forest...

The new event introduced the Stone Hammer, which is able to break Hardstone Blocks scattered around the map. It also marked the return of the Fire Axe, USAS-12, the Hatchet Bunker, and the Eye Bunker. The Peacemaker also returned (a Desert Rain exclusive.)

Frozen deserts is the third desert-based event. This one introduced newer weapons, the aged greenhouse, and the now-important stone hammer. In this version two towns spawn apart from each other, one being the main town from the other two, and the other being a smaller variant with similar buildings. This version also includes a run-down version of Chrysanthemum Bunker, and airdrop crates that include stone hammers. This version of the bunker includes the first and second codes being already solved, the glass barrier removed, and the final room now being accessible though use of the Stone Hammer. Its contents allude to a future winter-themed map and update.

Snow-covered island
This is the first event with the Snow Map.

Snow-covered Island is the first event containing the snow map. It introduced the OTs-38, a similar gun to the OT-38. It also made the addition of Snowballs, which can be thrown at enemy players.

This event introduced the 50v50 mode. In this mode, players enter the game and are put into the Blue team or the Red team. On each team, a player is randomly selected as the Leader. The Blue leader gets the AN-94 and the Tallow's Kukri knife. The Red leader gets the Super 90 and the Machete Taiga knife. Both teams fight each other and once one team eliminates everyone on the other team, that team wins. Also introduced Military Air Drops, which contain much more loot than normal. For the map, there is always a large river going horizontal or vertical across the map, a miniature dock/town in the center of the map, and extra large Stone Bridges.

Danger close
