L96A1 Holiday Wolf

The L96A1 Holiday Wolf is a limited edition of the L96A1 Arctic Wolf that was released in Combat Arms Europe and North America. It is a event item for Christmas Sales 2010.

Overview
This Christmas Variant of the L96A1 Arctic Wolf and the L96A1 Ghillie features very little dark green ghillie stripes and a crimson red lower receiver. It has more accuracy and power than the L96A1 Arctic Wolf. It also features the L115A2/3 scope instead of the standard L96A1 scope.

One of the major drawbacks of the AW was its built-in suppressor, which took away from its overall damage and stopping power. The HW's slight damage boost bypasses that limitation while making it even more powerful.

The Holiday Wolf's better accuracy makes it much more useful in extremely long range situations such as across Snow Valley and Kill Creek. Coupled with its greater magnification scope and damage, it is a vast improvement at long range combat compared with other versions of the L96A1.

Though its stats make it much more efficient than than standard AW, its unique (yet obvious and flashy) coloring makes it very ineffective for stealth in certain terrains. This includes snowy terrain, which ironically, was what the Arctic Wolf was designed for in the first place.

This weapon is currently not renewable, since it a Limited Edition Seasonal item.

It was available for a 7, 30, and 90-day duration from the Black Market.
