New event - Operation «Ringing of Shell»



The new operation «Ringing of Shell» starts today. By completing contracts and winning matches you will gain operation points and earn unique rewards, such as the new weapon, the Knight's Armament LAMG machine gun for the Destroyer class. There are also new weapon mods and camouflages for the Destroyer class in the operation crates.




The operation will last until September 3, 2021, inclusive.



With the release of the operation, we have also made some changes in the game.

  • Fmod sound system - introducing the first iteration of the completely new sound system. We have transitioned from the standard Unity sound engine to the Fmod engine.
  • Team GunGame game mode readjusted - now the weapon progress is synced for the whole team. Enemy kills will give the team points for the next level, while deaths in the team will take points away. Teams will get IronClad in turns, killing which will instantly move the team to the next level.
  • Revamped the respawn system for the Team Elimination game mode - now the players respawn simultaneously every few seconds. The respawn location will be closer to teammates whenever possible.
  • Added the ability to purchase reward weapons from the previous operations for WB.
  • Adjusted the visual effects of laser sights, added a 15% aiming speed bonus with a laser sight enabled.
  • Added a display of the effect on aiming speed for weapon modules.
  • Magnum buckshot (Stormtrooper shotgun ammo) - reduced the range penalty to 15%, increased the damage bonus to 25%.
  • AP-HS ammo (Scout SMG ammo) - reduced the range penalty to 20%.
  • ACR - increased the ammunition to 3 magazines.
  • PDR-C - reduced the recoil of the first shot, reduced the shooting spread.
  • EVO3 - reduced the shooting spread.
  • UZI PRO - increased the damage to 35.

Operation “BLOODSHOT”



The new operation “BLOODSHOT” starts today! By completing contracts and winning matches you will gain operation points and earn unique rewards, such as the new KS7 shotgun for the Stormtrooper and Destroyer classes. There are also new weapon mods and camouflages for the Stormtrooper class in the operation crates.




We have increased the operation point gain rate by 30% for the corporation contracts (depending on the difficulty) and have doubled the earned operation points for the experience gained.

The update also contains various bug fixes on all locations. These adjustments affect the possibility of going beyond the map borders, respawning in unsuitable places, disappearing items and invisible walls. Because of these changes, the patch size will be significantly increased.

The operation will be active until July 7, 2021.

With the release of the operation, we have also made some changes in the game.
Balancing and mechanics changes:

  • Team Skirmish game mode – increased the amount of required wins for the victory to 12
  • Shotguns spread – fixed the stats in weapon characteristics. Fixed the inability of mods to influence this characteristic.
  • Helmet – reduced the cost to 50, reduced the damage required to penetrate the helmet to 45 (with the “Assault Helmet” perk – to 75). Added the hit marker when you penetrate other players' helmets.
  • Ammo/Armor crate – reduced the pick-up time to 1.5 seconds.
  • AP-OFM ammo (the second sniper ammo for DMRs) – bleeding damage increased by 30%, bleeding time reduced to 3 seconds.
  • VSSK – increased hip fire accuracy, increased rate of fire, increased the base ammo capacity to 10, reduced the next purchase limit to 2 minutes.
  • Secondary weapon (special Sniper SMGs) – reduced the cost to 70, reduced the next purchase limit to 1 minute.
  • Standard first-aid – reduced the cost to 15.

  • Fixed a bug that didn’t allow players to pick up someone else's weapon.

Patch 1.0.2719

Mercenaries!

We have made the following gameplay adjustments to Hired Ops:

  • Changed the server matchmaking level cap for GunGame and TeamGunGame game modes. Before: 0-10, 11-25, 26-50, 51-100. After: 0-10, 11-25, 26-100.
  • Changed the server matchmaking level cap for TeamSkirmish game mode. Before: 0-10, 11-25, 26-50, 51-100. After: 11-25, 26-100.
    These changes are intended to increase the player count on high-level servers. The mentioned game modes do not level class skills and weapons, which means all players are on an equal footing, regardless of their level.

  • Improved the anti-cheat system
  • Fixed the effect of Reload Speed parameter for bolt-action weapons.
  • RPKT – mobility increased to 37
  • MP7 – horizontal recoil adjusted and decreased
