Be sure to check your Utility Slot! All players have access to the “Bending Beacon” which calls in a miniature meteor storm to entertain your comrades or strike fear into the heart of your enemies. This item is only use-able during the event.

PS1-AV Suppressor

An original PlanetSide common pool weapon, given life in PlanetSide 2, the Suppressor is a cosmetic variant of the MKV Suppressed SMG, and will grant progress toward the Exceptional II directive.
