Ninja Path
Ninja Path is a brand-new event that was added shortly after the 2014 holidays update. It features every player fighting as a ninja, earning "ninja points" to earn tier prizes. The event introduced the Cyber Ninja Gear, which features modern ninja outfits for your character along with the pack-exclusive weapon, the Dual Energy Pistols. The event features skins for the Anti Material Sniper and the Winter Ghost Rifle, and featured a brand-new event exclusive weapon in the Fire Fist. The general concept of the event was simple: be rewarded for killing, be penalised for being defeated.

Once you pass the event, you have an opportunity to earn Gold; if you complete the game with a perfect 1,500 rank, you will be awarded with 1 Gold at the end of the game. It's a small offering, but may be worth it if you're saving up. You require a grand total of 107,100 ninja points to pass the event, so get to it!
Some tips
- There is an abundance of players using the MIB Noisy Cricket in the event and other highly effective weapons such as the Revolver and Thumper, so be prepared for that. This is a very competitive event, so many players will be using the best weapons against you.
- Try to balance out the times you play Respawnables. The reason for this is that you will have ninja rank deducted if you stop playing for an amount of time (you'll get a notification when this happens). You can purchase a rank insurance with real money to stop this from happening, but this is easily avoided by playing consistently.
- A very effective, but arguably boring method of quickly passing the event is achieving a perfect rank (or a rank that's good for your skill level) and camping the match out until it finishes. There are many good hiding/ camping spots in each map that would be ideal for this. Since your rank carries over from match to match, it's possible to maintain your rank throughout games by avoiding contact with other players, and using players who find you as a way to increase your rank (if you manage to beat them). An alternate method of this is to get a perfect ninja rank, then repeatedly kill yourself (you don't lose ninja rank for this), but it's very boring and is a dishonest way to finish the event.
- Use the spotter gadget. This gadget is a godsend in this event, as knowing the locations of all the player with powerful weapons will prove very useful in being able to beat them. Spotter also lets you see the ninja rank of every player in the game. The use of the invisibility (aka Stealth) gadget has also increased, and spotter allows you to see players who attempt to beat you with this. The Cyber Ninja Head gives you permanent spotter while you stand still as well, so it is also a great way to track players.
