Firefall’s second “Beta Weekend” will begin this Friday, February 22nd, Red 5 Studios has announced.

Building on Firefall’s first public test in January, Red 5 has made improvements to existing systems and added new features for players to try. The latest update included Red 5’s final Founders Reward – a Custom Thumper – as well as integrated Twitch broadcasting – allowing everyone to stream their Beta Weekend experience with the click of a button.

During the Beta Weekend, players can also look forward to a new community unlock and themed contest featuring Firefall’s unique vertical combat:

• Mid-Air Video Contest: Submit amazing aerial gameplay footage for a chance to win a Razer Kraken Headset, AMD Radeon HD 7970 (HIS IceQ X² Edition) video card and a limited edition Firefall Brontodon plushie.
• Community Unlock: All players who join the weekend stress-test will unlock a custom “mid-air” decal.
• Mid-Air Screen Contest: The top 10 mid-air screenshots will be featured on the official Firefall Facebook page.
