Greetings, Operatives. In this supply drop, we are introducing a new pistol, a revamped login & reward system, operative and weapon balancing, and various bug fixes! View your full supply drop below.
Please note that we are currently aware of issues when purchasing DLC Crates on Steam. We are working to remedy this soon. Thanks for your patience and apologies for any inconvenience caused.
WEAPON
PIS: SN 5-7 – This sidearm exhibits superior penetrating force due to its small caliber, high-velocity bullets, but is less powerful overall.
SYSTEMS
Revamped Login System and Login Rewards We have implemented a newly revamped login system and rewards! Login rewards are cumulative instead of consecutive. In addition, login rewards are now fixed items instead of random. Please see our full blog for details: http://playfirstassault.tumblr.com/post/156367895971/
OPERATIVE BALANCE
Ishikawa’s Cyber Sentry
Increased Damage: 20 → 30
Kuro’s EMP
The location of the enemy affected by the EMP will be indicated for a short time.
EMP deployment system has been improved so that deploying the EMP is easier.
WEAPON BALANCE
Changed headshot damage logic for all weapons according to range
NOTE: We are currently working to release a detailed developer blog explaining the changes, headshot damage values, and headshot damage calculation method. Please be on the lookout!
MISCELLANEOUS
Removed Ghost Assault mode from Quick Dive and Custom Matches
Added new DLC Crate called Signature Skin Crate #2 (Maven Signature, Borma Signature, Paz Signature)
Adjusted Demolition Mode Intel Amount
1 Intel per second will be recovered until the Tier 1 Intel amount is reached.

10th Installment: Login Reward System Revamp
Greetings, Operatives!
In our 10th installment of developer blogs, we wanted to go over the newly revamped login system and rewards. This new system will be implemented with our January update.
Here’s what you need to know:
Login rewards are cumulative instead of consecutive.
This means that even if you miss a day, you will start off where you last left off.
Login rewards are now fixed items instead of random.
Days 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 rewards GP Vouchers.
Days 2, 5, 9, and 10 are Cyber Crate rewards.
Days 2, 5, and 9 can reward any of the following items:
200-min Chipsets
GP Boosts (30-150%)
EXP Boosts (30-150%)
GP Vouchers (3,000-100,000)
Day 10 can reward any of the following items:
GP Boosts (100%-500%)
EXP Boosts (100%-500%)
GP Vouchers (50,000-1,000,000)
In the future, we will be adding new and exciting content to these Cyber Crates. We hope that the community enjoys the new content and this revamped system.
With the changes in the new system, everyone’s login count will be reset, to start from "Day 1."
As always, we would love to hear your thoughts and feedback, so be sure to head over to the forums and let us know what you think!
