Hey Devs- first off, big shout out to the GM team, I’ve been seeing them out and about lately and helping combat botters etc, major kudos! Also- could we get a confirmation if there will be a bonus this upcoming weekend, and which days it will run? Trying to make leveling plans for the weekend but wanted to get a confirmation first Happy Independence Day all!
The Devs aren't really the ones that announce/confirm this kind of stuff. In 2019 we had 76% bonus rares, faction, exp Mon July 1st- Mon July 8th In 2018 we had 76% bonus rares, faction, exp Sat June 30th - Thurs July 5th In 2017 we had 76% bonus rares, faction, exp Fri June 30th - Weds July 5th In 2016 we had 76% bonus rares, faction, exp, Fri July 1st - Tues July 5th So at the very least you can assume we will have bonus exp July 1st-5th. Whether we have it longer or not likely won't be revealed until they make a news post. I speculate this year will be July 1st through the 6th. But they very well might turn it on the 29th (today) or tomorrow.
Mangler has a big unlock on the 1st, so it will be interesting. I predict Jul 1-5. They haven't typically gone for an earlier date unless 1st is on a weekend, and they only made it a week long when both the 1st and the 4th were on weekdays, so otherwise there wouldn't have been any weekend bonus.
Do they usually have market place sales during this time frame? Thinking about picking some things up, but was waiting to see if they had any sales coming up.

I was thinking Friday to Monday (July 3rd to July 6th), but it wouldn't surprise me to see it turned on July 1st.
Bobbybick has it right with the previous years... and with that I think it will be July 2nd @ 12pm PST - July 7th at 12am PST.
At this point if they did not do a bonus, the outrage would make the charm nerf look like a thank you thread. I would bank on a 4th of July bonus.
