Operatives completing all 30 archived chapter 11 missions will be able to get a new FX item: &quot;Override Image.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Winter Holiday: December 18 through January 22&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt;It&amp;#39;s time for the fourth-annual Winter Holiday Celebration in &lt;em&gt;The Matrix Online! &lt;/em&gt;During this period, snow will be falling in the Mega City and Snowman and Holiday Helper Vendors will be around to help you get into the holiday spirit. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt;This Winter Holiday, operatives can enjoy the gift of sharp new clothing items: &quot;Winter Vests&quot; for men, &quot;Bathrobes&quot; for women, &quot;Snow Globe Glasses&quot; for both, and 3 other items. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;li&gt;Four types of Snowman Vendors can be found in each District with different types of Snowballs for sale. (Icy, Slushy, Powdery, and Rocky) &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Three Mobile Snowman Vendors will spawn around the city. These are luggable objects that dispense snowballs and can be dragged around by players. Only three will spawn per world, so get them while you can! &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Holiday Helper Vendors, outside Mega City clubs, will trade Holiday and Party hats to players for one of each type of Snowball. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Some of the Holiday Helper collectors have been moved to the more popular entrance to their club (i.e., the one closest to the nearest hardline). &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Equip a Red or Green Holiday Hat to put your RSI in the &quot;Festive&quot; state. Players in the &quot;Festive&quot; state can throw and be targeted by Snowballs. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Snowballs can be &quot;thrown&quot; by activating them from the Action panel or the hotbar. Hitting another player with a Snowball reduces the stability of the equipped Holiday Hat. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When Holiday Hats lose all stability, they disappear. Players can stage snowball fights where &quot;last hat standing&quot; wins. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Black, Silver, and Gold Party Hats can be worn and activated to create flying confetti and party sound effects. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Holiday Helper Vendors will also sell special mission activation tickets. Take these missions to earn Perfect Snowflakes, which can be turned in to Holiday Helpers for special Winter Holiday items. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Abominable snowmen will ambush players during the holiday missions. They don&amp;#39;t move, so they&amp;#39;re easy to escape. However, killing these NPCs will be well worth the effort! &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Changes and Improvements &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;li&gt;An item&amp;#39;s mouseover information will now indicate if the item has purity or stability that never decays. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Each special property displayed in an item&amp;#39;s details now appears on a separate line for improved legibility. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bug Fixes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #888888;&quot;&gt; &lt;li&gt;Gave Jane the Ripper a pair of glasses that don&amp;#39;t clip into her face (thanks aracher). &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fixed a typo in the operator&amp;#39;s text in phase two of the Sculptress&amp;#39; fourth mission. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fixed a typo in Nicky G.&amp;#39;s second message in Merovingian mission 11.3.1 (thanks eval). &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #66ff00;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description>
