The October Bonus for Gold Subscribers is approaching! This month's reward is the Bat Saw, the perfect weapon for zombie survival, and will be available starting October 1 through October 31.

This is a bonus perk for subscribers only, as an addition to freeform power selection and all the other benefits of being a Champions Online Gold Member. You'll be able to claim them from a new NPC in the Renaissance Center, the Gold Bonus Vendor. (Want to learn about becoming a Gold member? Read more here.)

This is only available to Gold Members, and is only claimable during the calendar month, from the first of the month until the end of the month. These releases are extra-special, because after they rotate out, they're gone for good!

If you absolutely gotta have a costume piece in our backlog, though, get yourself a Lifetime Subscription. In addition to getting all the benefits of subscribing, you'll be able to access a Lifetime-only backlog at the Gold Bonus Vendor NPC, where you can get all the Gold Bonus costume pieces we've released. Make sure to sign up for a Lifetime Subscription.

This will only be available for subscribers until October 31, so make sure your subscription is up to date, heroes!
