The missions and their progress can be viewed on the event page, and players will be rewarded for completing each mission.
Each mission can only be completed and rewarded once per account.

In addition, an indoor shooting range has been implemented for target practice, allowing players to practice shooting to their heart's content without any interference. The range can be used like a private space even when multiple players enter at the same time, allowing for target distance adjustments, resets, score checks, and monitoring.
