MAJOR UPDATE 0.7 | OPERATION: SCARLET STORM

The moment has come.


Finally, we are ready to present you a grand update - 0.7.
At the moment, this is the largest update in the history of the game.
We have invested all our efforts, passion and talent to bring you incredible innovations.
Get ready for an explosive experience that will change your idea of battles.

The weapon in your hands has become even more powerful and effective.
And the new progression system will allow you to change the characteristics of your weapons that meet your unique style of play and become a real warrior, ready for any challenges.
The arsenal of the game has received an update in the form of a new AK308 assault rifle and a Kriss Vector submachine gun.

Explore locations enlivened by a unique atmosphere.
The new Cargo map will give you an incredible new gameplay in 5 vs 5 battles.

We have also fixed a number of bugs and improved the performance of the game so that you can fully immerse yourself in its world without obstacles.

Thanks to all our dedicated players who have supported us along the way.
Your passion and faith in our project inspire us to strive to improve the game!


NEW CHARACTER



In this update, we have completely updated the character model.
Now the character has significantly more details.



We also completely redesigned the character's skeleton and significantly increased the quality of most animations.
Let's just take a look at some updated weapon handling animations.


All other animations have also been completely redesigned. You can look at it in the game.

Also, of course, we have updated the models of each element of the character's equipment.
Now it's also much more detailed than before.
Take a look at the fully equipped character in the game:


Now finally the character's equipment has a different color for each team.
This will allow you to better distinguish allies from enemies.




NEW WEAPON PROGRESSION SYSTEM



In this update, the weapon progression system has been completely redesigned.
Here's how it works:

Each weapon now has a separate level.
Experience (XP) gained for kills, head shots, as well as assistance in killing, will also increase the XP of the weapon used.
With XP, you'll be able to explore new modules for each weapon.

Almost all modules affect the characteristics of the gun.
Modules give weapons both positive and negative effects.



To explore the desired module, look at the progress tree.



In the screenshot you can see that at the moment the weapon has 20,000 free XP.
The free XP is displayed with a blue star:



To unlock each module, you will need free XP, as well as a certain number of credits.



Now let's unlock some modules:



After unlocking some modules, the free XP was spent.



Now you can attach the new models to the weapon:





Also now you can connect sights that previously could not be used on some types of weapons.



Experiment with modules to improve your style of play.
Do you like to fight long distance? Reducing the recoil of the weapon will probably suit you.
Do you want to have an advantage in short fights? Try increasing accuracy from the hip.
The choice is yours!


NEW MAP



Welcome to the arena where fate will be decided in every shot.
In Update 0.7, we present to you our new competitive map - "Cargo".
Steel walls create a unique gaming environment, providing shelter and opportunities for tactical maneuvers.



We have invested many dozens of hours to hone the balance of the sides to perfection.
At the moment, this is the most balanced map in Polygon and with this we have grandiose plans for the future :)
Immerse yourself in the incredible atmosphere of battles right in the heart of the ocean!




NEW WEAPON



Polygon's arsenal has been replenished with new weapons: AK308 and Kriss Vector.
Earlier, we have already shown you these weapons in the game.
You can take a look at it again in the video announcement:



To buy Kriss Vector, you will need level 20 of the character, and to buy AK308 - level 24.
Some weapons have also received a reduction in the required level. You can find out about this in the changes section.


WATCH



Now you have the opportunity to add a stylish decoration to your character - a wristwatch.
Choose from several models of watches, each of which has its own unique design and features.
From classic to modern style, we have watches to match your taste and preferences.




NEW BATTLE PASS SEASON



The 3rd season of the Battle Pass "Operation: Scarlet Storm" has started in Polygon.
The new season has as many as 100 reward levels, which is 2 times more than last season.
At the same time, the required progress has been increased by only 40%, which means that you will be able to receive rewards 1.5 times more often!



Incredibly beautiful skins were added to the 3rd season.
Some skins now have dynamic material, allowing you to enjoy a truly stunning visual effect.
See how the skin changes its texture and reflects the environment, creating an effect of depth and liveliness.
Your enemies will envy your aesthetics, and you will enjoy fighting with weapons that stand out among others.







Also, as a reward, you can get a variety of watches with a truly unique design.



When you purchase the Battle Pass, you instantly get a "Supreme" skin for the M16A4, as well as a "Sunfire" watch.




And at the last levels you will find a golden skin for Kriss Vector and a Scarlet Storm watch.
The golden skin has a unique new iridescent design.




Buy the Battle Pass and get the best rewards!


IMPROVED LIGHTING AND WEATHER



One of the main improvements was the new lighting at all game locations. Now you can enjoy amazing gaming moments when every corner of the Polygon world comes to life thanks to improved lighting. Depth and shadows, light and darkness - all this creates an exciting and realistic atmosphere.

BEFORE \ AFTER












But that's not all! We have also made changes to the weather to add extra variety and atmosphere to the game. Now you can feel the power of nature when rain washes the area or the sun breaks through the clouds, illuminating your path.
I hope you are not afraid of lightning!



The graphics in Polygon have become even more beautiful. You need to see these changes with your own eyes in order to truly appreciate their effect.


NEW WEAPON MODULES



We have slightly diluted the situation, now we are going back to weapons again, because this is the most important thing for a shooter!
2 new sights have been added to the game: Elcan SpectedDR and OKP-7.
The Elcan is a medium-range optical sight.
Do you like having dominance at a distance? Try Elcan!



Do you want to have real fun on short skirmishes?
OKP-7 is just created for this!



Also, the lens shader has been improved for all optical sights and now it has a refraction effect.
Take a look at this:

Hi y'all,


We have a quick status update on the 0.7 update for you today.

Currently, the update isn't quite ready to be released, but we're extremely close.

0.7 Status Update

Hi there!


The Polygon Team is back again to tell you the latest news on the 0.7 update.

In the announcement of update 0.7 we shared with you some of the changes we plan on bringing.
https://steamcommunity.com/games/1241100/announcements/detail/3386171859242933469
Today we're going to shed some light on those new features and give you some more information about update 0.7.
At the end of this announcement, we will also give a brief status update on our progress thus far.


| NEW CHARACTER



Earlier we showed you the model of the new character.



We saw your criticism of the new model, so we've worked on the character a bit more, completely redone his arms, and improved the overall anatomy.




We will continue to improve the character model as we move forward.


| WEAPON PROGRESS SYSTEM



In the 0.7 announcement we gave you very superficial information about the new weapon progression system.
Now we're ready to tell you more.
This will be one of the main features of update 0.7

The weapon customization menu has been completely changed, you can rotate your weapon and view it from all angles.
It's finally in line with modern shooters!





Yes, yes, you're not imagining it :) These are the new modules!
And they're not for sale in the shop anymore.
But how do you get them you ask?
Now we come to the most important thing...

Each weapon will have a separate level.
XP gained for the actions in the game, will also increase the XP of the weapon used.
Now you won't be able to buy a scope and use it on any gun, you will have to research this module for each weapon.
To research the required module, take a look at the progression tree.




There are 2 types of XP - total and unused XP.
Total XP is all the XP gained for playing with a specific weapon.
Unused XP is the XP that has not been spent on module research.
Thus, you can see all the XP you have gained while using the weapon (total XP), and you will use the unused XP for researching new modules.

In the progression tree, there is a separate branch for each module type. In the future, branches may have branches. This means that if you research one module, you will have several modules available for the next research.

In future updates we will add new modules to the progression tree of some weapons.
We specifically designed this system so that experienced players cannot instantly get new modules, if a new module is added to a branch level below the explored one.
Therefore, when adding new modules, everyone will have to unlock it!

Important: The location of modules in branches, the XP required, and any characteristics are currently informative only and do not demonstrate the end result.
This is still under development at the moment.


| NEW MODULES



As you may have noticed, muzzle devices have been added to the game, as well as an underbarrel grip.
Now some modules will change the characteristics of the weapon.
The grips will affect the recoil and accuracy of the weapon, and the muzzle devices will also reduce the muzzle flash (flash hider), change the range and speed of the bullet, and other things.
In the future, we will be adding more modules that affect weapon characteristics, stay tuned.

New types of sights have also been added: "OKP-7" and "Elcan Specter DR".





| NEW MAP



Do you like perfect balance?
Do you want some real competition?
The new map will bring a whole new style of gameplay to POLYGON!

We'v conducted a lot of closed playtests to ensure the gameplay on the new map is as balanced as possible.
At the moment it is considered to be the most balanced map in Polygon.
So, we present to you the new map - "Cargo":




This map was designed specifically for 5vs5 competition.
We will now be able to run tournaments with prize giveaways - officially from the Polygon Team.
Stay tuned!


| NEW ANIMATIONS



We've changed everything. Completely. From scratch.
The new character will get brand new animations, which are much better in quality than the old ones.
We've improved the animations many times already and we'll continue to move in this direction, because high-quality animations are an absolute necessity in any shooter.
Without further ado, take a look at the comparison of old and new animations:







And of course now you can finally see your legs!




| NEW GUNS



In the 0.7 announcement we showed you one new weapon - AK308.
But that's not all that'll be coming. Behold, the Kriss Vector:



Still not cool enough?
How about this?




| OTHER CHANGES




  • We improved the background of the main menu:





  • Improved the PBR materials of all the guns.

Before \ After:










  • Seriously improved the lighting on the Crash Site map.
    This will also be done for the other maps.








And that's not all the changes that will be available in update 0.7


| STATUS UPDATE



Many of you have been asking us about the release date of this update, so now we'll give some info on the status of the update.
The primary reason for such a long delay are the animations.
Creating high quality animations is very time consuming, and with a whole new character model, we must recreate all of the animations currently in the game.
We're working very hard to bring this update to all of you as fast as possible, and while we won't be able to release it as soon as we originally hoped,
we are making great progress and hope to have a more accurate release date soon.
We're sorry for such a long wait, but we promise it will be worth it :)

Stay tuned so you don't miss the release of Polygon's biggest update ever!
A new era of Polygon is coming.

There you can find friends to play with, talk to the Polygon Team, find some news and leaks,
