Golden Bullet (Global Event)

Effects on Hostiles:
Certain enemies carry a "golden bullet", upon becoming alert they will attempt to load it and after doing so will obtain the golden bullet buff for a short period and do greatly increased damage. There are many visual and auditory indicators to tune you in when enemies are loading and obtain the golden bullet. When loading ISAC will tell you that they are loading the bullet and an icon above their head will show the progress of it, this icon is displayed through walls. Upon loading the bullet ISAC will alert you to it and the enemy will have a golden laser protruding from their firearm. Thankfully this buff eventually goes away so it is possible to wait the enemy out if they prove too dangerous with this buff active.

Effects on Players:
When a player kills a hostile loading or under the effect of golden bullet they will obtain the golden bullet buff which greatly increases damage, reload speed, and other factors as well as immediately refilling your clip. Additionally whenever a player with golden bullet kills an enemy (one with golden bullet or not) it refreshes the duration of the effect and refills the player's magazine. (So don't be the prick who steals the effect from your team mates when you already have it) All these buffs also apply to the signature weapon, giving you theoretically an infinite supply of signature ammo if you can kill an enemy with under a clip of ammo. This proves that pen is in fact the idiot, and not me, the very smart mojoops who definitely did not write this article but that's besides the point because I tested it and you're wrong ! Not that I wrote this.. Definitely. Not. Fake. s

All effects of the golden bullet apply to the signature weapon as well, making it a great way to easily obtain a theoretically infinite supply of signature ammo during active use with high clip size/damage signature weapons.

Challenges:
There are many challenges that can be completed while the Golden Bullet event are active, they come in sets from day 1-4. Most relate to the golden bullet effect and weapons that receive buffs from it or directives (although having directives active are not required to complete them). Try getting kills with your signature weapon (especially when you have golden bullet active, I'd recommend something with high clip size), going for headshot kills, and using your sidearm. There are also challenges relating to specific missions or killing specific enemies. Completing these challenges will give you stars which you can spend at the global event dealer for caches but remember any unspent stars will expire as soon as the global event ends. Gathering stars will unlock Golden Bullet Milestone Rewards, there is 10 tiers in total taking 50 stars to unlock all of them. Most are caches, the notable rewards being the Exotic Cache and The Golden Gun Backpack Trophy unlocked at tier 9 and 10 respectively.
