In Combat Arms, an Event is a special occurance, often coinciding with a real world celebration or holiday. Events are usually activated by the release of a new patch, and ended by a subsequent patch. Many Events recur every year, while others occur only once or only in alternate years.

Events can consist of special competitions, special weapon and gear sales, special contests, special giveaways, or some combination of these.
