You have the opportunity this March to get the coveted classified sets with increased chances, as a global event will run every weekend!
The announced changes to the drop chances for classified gear will not be included in the game yet. These are planned for the future. Otherwise, they are the “normal” four global events that have already taken place. They will now be repeated in a shortened form.
