This pack contains the majority of the festive assets from the 2020+ Holiday Surprise updates, including vehicles, clothing, and weapon skins.

Manual Update: If the DLC update is not automatically detected or applied, you might need to manually download and install the update.

Be cautious with manual updates, as incorrectly modifying game files can lead to game instability or prevent the game from running. Use double backslashes if the string will be
