Blood Strike 2.5 Anniversary: Duel Mode, Lucha Libre AAA and free skins

Blood Strike’s massive September update is finally here to celebrate its 2.5 anniversary, bringing the fast-paced new Duel mode, Striker Vox, and an unexpected Lucha Libre AAA crossover. Unlike minor patches where they just tweak a couple of stats, NetEase is stacking this month with daily free rewards, weapons like the G36, and plenty of reasons to log in every day. Let’s break down exactly what this anniversary update brings so you don’t miss a single drop.

New Duel mode and Striker Vox

If you sometimes get tired of the traditional battle royale format and prefer straight-up gunfights without relying too much on a squad, the Duel mode is for you. It’ll be active from September 1 to 13. Essentially, it’s a much smaller, closed arena where encounters happen extremely fast. There’s no room for camping here; it’s all about raw aim and movement.

On top of that, according to the official patch schedule, a new Striker named Vox is touching down on September 15. We are still figuring out his full potential in the meta, but you can grab a free Vox 5D Trial Card if you log in during the peak weekend (September 11 to 13). And if you like a good mystery, the devs teased that a completely secret game mode will arrive on September 22, though they haven't revealed any details yet.

G36 assault rifle arrives in Blood Strike

For those who love tweaking their loadouts, mark September 15 on your calendar. That’s the day the G36 Assault Rifle joins the armory. The most interesting part about this beauty is that it features a built-in grenade launcher. It sounds like it’s going to be an incredibly versatile weapon for mid-range engagements and perfect for clearing out grouped-up enemies. There will also be a mysterious weapon teaser titled "It's Coming. Be Afraid" running from September 11 to October 11.

Lucha Libre AAA collaboration and free skins

Okay, this is where the patch gets a bit weird but amazing. From September 4 to October 23, we are getting the Lucha Strike Valor themed event, which is an official collaboration with Lucha Libre AAA.

This means some wild themed cosmetics, including the free Hank - Mr. Iguana skin (available Sept 4-27) and the legendary FAL Luchador skin, which you can claim just by logging in from September 11 to 13. There’s nothing quite like pushing a squad while looking like a legendary wrestler.

2.5 Anniversary free rewards calendar

Probably the best part about celebrating this 2.5 anniversary is the sheer amount of free stuff they’re giving away. Here’s a quick summary so you don’t miss any key dates:

• EVO SVD Reaper: September 1 - 21. They’re giving out up to 100 free draws if you complete the missions.
• Alondra 8-Bit: September 1 - 13. You get this retro-style legendary skin for free.
• Peak Weekend: September 11 - 13. Log in for 50 free draws for the EVO SVD, an Ultra item, and the Vox trial.
• MCX Ascendant: September 15 - October 11. A highly exclusive free skin with a special inspect animation for participating in the team event.
• Ranked Season Rewards: Starting September 15, you can get the legendary KAG 6 Pride.
• Legendary Melee Weapon: Available from September 22 to October 11.

As you can see, the month is absolutely packed with content. Your best bet is to log in daily to secure those draw missions and avoid missing the rewards with very short windows, like the September 11 weekend.
