The Armed & Dangerous LTM finally returns in Dressed to Kill after countless requests from the community.

This mode only allows players to use shotguns and snipers, so whether you love aggressive close-quarter duals or long-range gunfights that require pinpoint accuracy, this is the LTM for you.

Remember, if you want to use the Charge Rifle or Peacekeeper, you'll need to head to a Replicator as you won't be able to find them on the ground.

To unlock the Horizon Heirloom, you must acquire all 24 cosmetics while the Dressed to Kill Collection Event is active or craft it with 150 Heirloom Shards afterwards.
