Reaching for the moon, stars and beyond, vertigo9219 enjoys a quiet night out with a freshly-acquired Thruster.
Objects in the rear-view mirror may be closer than they appear - a homing missile from a Chernobog sets off towards an unfortunate target.
Against a fiery backdrop and propelled by the Thruster, AceSominium's aspiring astronaut ascends into the unknown.
It's a race against time in aizakkusan's tense shot from Act I of the Doomsday Heist, as a misfit crew attempt to navigate the Server Farm.

On the naughty list and on the run, an elf with an unlocked Double-Action Revolver takes the local law enforcement for a festive, wild goose chase.
If you've yet to claim your gratis Double-Action Revolver, check your iFruit for a in-game email containing the first clue, then follow the trail to unlock the weapon in GTA Online. Once you uncover the weapon, complete the Headshot Challenge in Freemode for a GTA$250,000 reward and unlock it for future gun-slinging exploits in Red Dead Redemption 2 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Ditching his sled for a Deluxo, Santa's busiest time of the year becomes a breeze as he takes to the skies for those all-important deliveries.
