Premium Monthly Mission for September
Last month's nearly impossible to win prize was 'Shadow Daggers | Doppler Factory New', which you had to complete 200 wins in order to get it, plus the 51k Faceit Points, for which you had to complete only the 4 out of 5 steps: win 120 matches. And for the knife you had to win 80 more matches, all in one month.
Let's do the math
To win all the points and the knife, you need to get 200 wins: 7 wins every day for 28 days straight = 194 wins. And 1 day with 6 wins or 2 days with 3 wins each day. Giving that you only win of course. For a 50% win rate, you'd have to play 14 matches a day, or play 400 matches in total for one month. In hours, with a 50% win rate, 400 matches x ~40minutes per match = ~266 hours of playing (which I know is not that much for some, I see ppl with 250 hours playtime past 2 weeks, like do you even sleep tf).
Now that's for the last month's prize, the Shadow Daggers, which go for around 160 to 170 euro, depending on where you want to buy them from. What about this month? Well, you would expect to get a better prize for less matches, right? Nope. Instead you will get more points. Read the overview below.

Cick here to head over to the missions page
This month's prize, which you already know by the cover and title, the AK-47 | Vulcan (Field-Tested), which goes for around 130 to 140 euro, depending on the website is even less worth than the Shadow Daggers. So, now you'd think that they've gone for a more reasonable play time (less matches to win), right? Nope. You need to win 230 matches, 30 more than last time. But this time you can win more points. For 150 matches you will get 65,750 Faceit Points.
This month, we have a bonus task for points.
| Matches to win | Prize |
| 5 | 250 Faceit Points |
| 15 | 1,500 Faceit Points |
| 25 | 4,000 Faceit Points |
| 40 | 20K Faceit Points |
| 65 | 40K Faceit Points |
| 80 | AK-47 | Vulcan (Field-Tested) |
You have to complete all six tasks (230 wins) in order to get the AK skin (you wont get it if you only complete the 80 wins). Faceit recommends you start with the first task. We recommend it too. Not everybody will manage to win all the matches needed, so you should avoid starting with the task for the AK skin, leave it for last.
Time for mathin'
In order to win all points (65,750) and the AK skin, you need to win 230 matches in 31 days (wohoo a bonus day this month): go bonkers for the first 5 days and get 10 wins each day, then rest on the sixth day and get only 5 wins, the next 25 days you'll have to get 7 wins per day to complete 230 wins for the month and win 65,750 points and get a 'free' AK-47 | Vulcan (FT).
If you are wondering how faceit points convert to fiat, a Factory New USP-S | Neo-Noir is currently selling for 56,000 Points on Faceit and on the Steam market it's selling for 44 euro and for 34 euro on Bitskins.
| Skin | Market | Price |
| USP-S | Neo-Noir (Factory New) | Faceit | 56,000 Points |
| Steam | 44,27€ | |
| BitSkins | 34,54€ |
Remember, before you start your first match, make sure you activate the mission in your personal mission tab. If you do not activate the mission, your wins won't count.
