Black Squad Adds AUG A3 Silken Scarlet Reskin in Limited-Time Loot Box
The September 24, 2026 update for Black Squad (AppID 550650) introduces two new weapon reskins under the "Silken Scarlet" label, distributed through limited-time random boxes.
What changed
- AUG A3 Silken Scarlet goes on sale immediately after September 24 maintenance, running through October 8, 2026 at 04:00 UTC.
- BALISONG Silken Scarlet follows on October 1, 2026 after maintenance, also ending October 8.
- Both random boxes carry a rate-up applied specifically to the new Silken Scarlet weapons.
- The AUG A3 Silken Scarlet permanent variant sits at a 0.0990% drop rate from the standard random box; a 3-day variant has a 2.0040% rate.
- For every 50 purchases of the standard box, players receive one AUG A3 Silken Scarlet Permanent Box — a guaranteed-permanent pity system.
- The Permanent Box contains only Diamond-tier items, with the AUG A3 Silken Scarlet Permanent dropping at 4% and twelve other Diamond skins each at 8%.
- Numerous existing reskins — including AK74M, AK12, M4A1, GROZA, TAR-21, DSR-1, and M107A1 variants — are also present in the pool at disclosed rates.
Players who engage with the box system have full visibility into drop probabilities and a defined pity mechanism, though the window to participate closes on October 8.
