Communist Party Shot ApocalypticAldarion

This week, we saw an impressive attack on the Communist Party, who had just one boss account to save the crew from being wiped completely. The shooters Sifter and KeepBurning , managed to finish their shootings before being killed, leaving Mikey1408DoesntPlay as the only person to save the crew. The crew was left with a lot of red names on their profile, perfectly matching the crew's profile and colour. The Bootleggers Buzz had a quick chat with one of the two shooters, which gave us some interesting information.

To kick off, we asked Sifter if he and KeepBurning intended to drop the Communist Party. Sifter told us, “It was the general idea although we didn't think we would get this far. The last Boss+, Mikey, we believe, ranked to Boss today so he wasn't searched.” It seems then, that this promotion wasn’t timed that badly, as it saved the crew from a total wipe-out. At the beginning of the shooting, the Nation Don, WeaselPop was killed as well. Sifter told us that his presence in the crew was the major reason why they decided to attack the Communist Party, “Just thought it was time a somewhat decent shooting at one of the dominating crews should be put together. Communist Party had the Ndon so we chose them over Haters and EH.”


All victims of Keepburning’s and Sifter’s spree.


Interestingly, the crews holding the Bullet Factories decided to raise the bullet prices massively after the spree. Currently, most Bullet Factories have many bullets in stock, making it relatively easy to buy bullets and to prepare for a spree. This was shown by Sifter as his account wasn’t even a week old. It seems that the crews holding the Bullet Factories want to avoid a similar attack in the near future. Raising the prices makes it nearly impossible to buy a lot of bullets unless one has quite a lot of money. Whether this action was out of fear, or not, remains to be seen in the near future, as the prices have been raised before.

To end the interview with Sifter, we asked him whether we could expect another attack, somewhere in the near future. He told us, “Maybe, maybe not. Guess you'll have to wait and see.” And with that open answer we’re simply left guessing as to whether we’ll see such a spree again any time soon. With the current bullet prices that doesn’t seem to be very likely, but then again, didn’t we all think that such a spree as we saw wasn’t really possible? This spree illustrated one of the key principles on Bootleggers, total victories do not exist here. No one is safe.
