The Great Arms Race: GRM vs. Yohmei vs. TENORA (ＧＲＭ・ヨウメイ・テノラ グラール最大の決戦) is an upcoming event for the Japanese PC/PS2 servers scheduled to run from December 24, 2009 through January 28, 2010. In this event, players will pledge their allegiance to one of Gurhal's three weapon manufacturers: GRM, Yohmei or TENORA WORKS. Each company is developing a brand new, high-grade weapon, but they require the GUARDIANS' help to collect battle information to be used in the development process. At the end of the event, all three weapons will be produced and awarded to players based on whichever company they sided with, but only the weapon made by the winning manufacturer will have a little extra something that the other two will be missing...

Event outline
Registration
- In order to participate in this event, you must register with one of Gurhal's major weapon manufacturers: GRM, Yohmei or TENORA WORKS. Choose wisely, however, as once you have made your selection, you cannot change it!
- The company that you register with determines which weapon you will receive as a reward at the end of the event. GRM registrants will receive a (Firearm), Yohmei registrants will receive a (Kongora) and TENORA followers will receive an (Ank Giaz).
- Registration is handled in the prologue mission (Recruitment Project).
Data points
- Following registration, you will be granted access to the main event mission, (Record of Assault), where you will go up against hordes of monsters. As monsters are defeated, you will earn "data points." These points are then added to a running server-wide tally for the manufacturer you have chosen to support.
- Data points have no effect on individual player rewards. They are used only to determine the winning manufacturer at the end of the event.
Data point multipliers
- Because registration distribution is likely to be uneven, thus making data point distribution uneven, a system of multipliers will be put into place to even out the playing field. Under this system, a manufacturer with a large number of followers will not have an unfair advantage over the one with the least registrants.
- The manufacturer with the largest number of registrants will have the smallest multiplier, while the manufacturer with the least registrants will have the largest multiplier.
- During the event, multipliers will change as new players register with the weapon maker of choice.
Boost time
- At various points during the event, a temporary bonus called "boost time" will come into play.
- Whichever of the three manufacturers is in last place as the point boost time begins will receive a special data point multiplier on top of their current multiplier. If used wisely, this bonus can completely turn the tables on the competition!
- The boost time bonus will remain in effect for the manufacturer it was awarded to even if that manufacturer moves up in overall rank.
Reward panels
- As with previous events, a series of reward panels will be set up so that as predetermined milestones are reached through enemy kills, special in-game rewards will be unlocked.
Weapons under development
Each manufacturer has a specific weapon they are developing during this event. By aligning yourself with a weapon maker and completing at least one run of the main event mission, you will be guaranteed to receive your respective company's weapon as a reward. Below are the three weapons up for grabs. The stats listed here represent each weapon's potential, but keep in mind that only the one produced by the winning company will match these stats.
