First Assault Runs Free Stress Test Until 7/21, Offers Loot Bundles For Sale
If you've been wanting to try out First Assault, Nexon's Ghost in the Shell shooter, but haven't felt like shelling out the cash for early access in advance of its free-to-play launch, you're in luck. From now until July 21, the game is fully free-to-play via Steam and the Nexon global platform as part of a weeklong stress test to prepare the game for open beta.
Nexon has also added one new and one returning item to First Assault's cash shop for the text. The Elite Content Crate returns, giving you a head start with two 500,000 GP coupons -- one for now and one for open beta -- an exclusive Motoko Kusanagi skin, three exclusive weapon skins, and two operative skins, all for $29.99. If you'd prefer not to spend that much, you can instead pick up the new Starter Supply Crate for $9.99, which nets you 250,000 GP and 10 each 100% XP and GP boosters.
You can get full details on the stress test and these packages on the stress test announcement page.

For all of you who might have been wanting to play, but didn’t want to use a different platform.
I'd say the only problem this game has, aside from small playerbase (which will change after it goes F2P) is bad netcode which can result in bad hit registration and delays in death. Those things don't happen very often though so it's not a game-breaking problem.
