This content is available in all game modes except Death Race Mode;

Attention Survivors!
We wanted to let everyone know that we are continuing to take the offensive on cheaters within Rules of Survival! It will not be tolerated. Beyond banning, we are further testing out new methods to prevent and identify cheaters/illegal gameplay before it harms your experience.
Over the past week we have found hackers to be using a modified NPK file to allow them to take unfair advantages within Rules of Survival. (This includes no-recoil, high scope, faster parachute, etc.)
The following adjustments to our anti-cheating systems have been made to compensate.
-We have reinforced the protections in place around the NPK file to prevent a modified version from being used. If it is modified in anyway, an internal mechanism will activate to identify the illegal file and player.
-We are starting to test an AI Image Recognition System to automatically identify cheating by analyzing the imagery of players' gameplay. This is still in the early stages but hope it will further protect the fair experience we wish to give to all players.
We also wish to thank the community for all their support during this time and let players know how they can help us stop cheaters.
-Players may Report Users* In-game, through our Official Discord Server, or on our Forums for Cheating/Hacking at:
https://rulesofsurvival.16163.com/thread-5167-1-1.html
*You May Also Report websites/organizations that advertise cheats through the above link.
-Players may Appeal Bans (If they believe they have been wrongly accused) at:
https://rulesofsurvival.16163.com/thread-5164-1-1.html

- Fixed the refresh positions of items in Death Race Mode;
- Fixed an issue that prevented Daily Activity missions from being completed in RoS Ultra mode;
- Fixed an issue players are unable to claim their Xmas Tickets;

Patch Notes On December 12th 2018 | Testing for RoS Ultra Has Begun
Attention Survivors:
Rules of Survival will be updated from Dec. 11-12 with the aim of improving your gaming experience. Check maintenance times below to see when it takes place in your region.
The maintenance times above are subject to change, but we will do our upmost to get back up and running ASAP
1. New Content
- The testing for RoS Ultra has begun. Ghillie Island - Ranked will test the upgrade of graphics to RoS Ultra.
- In RoS Ultra, time changes between night and day in-game and a corresponding time interface has been added. After going to Ghillie Island in RoS Ultra, players can see the current time and weather on the game interface. In-game time is randomly selected when a game starts. As the game progresses, time will gradually elapse and switch between night and day;
- In RoS Ultra doors can now be smashed to pieces. Local damage to doors will occur when players shoot doors;
2. Experience Optimization
- This week we have made some adjustments to the feel and damage of all sorts of weapons to reinforce the distinct characteristics and differences between weapons. Players will need to consider the environment of the battlefield when choosing a weapon. Details are as follows:
- Rifle adjustments: damage from ranged fire increased; reduced the recoil from some firearms, and increased the v-recoil limit, while also slightly reducing damage from single shots. Changes concern: M249, AN94, AUG, QBZ;
- SMG adjustments: damage from ranged fire decreased; increased the v-recoil limit for some weapons. Changes concern: MP7, MP5, P90;
- Crossbow adjustment: reduced v-recoil;
- RPG adjustments: Notably increased the flight speed of RPGs and significantly reduced the explosion damage to oneself and allies, and significantly reduced damage to enemy or allied forces behind cover, e.g. a wall;
- Added Jump From Vehicle Damage: Jumping from a vehicle moving at high speed and launching an attack with equipped weaponry is an overly effective tactic and players that utilize this tactic need to be reminded of the dangers of jumping from high-speed vehicles. Players will now receive damage when jumping from vehicles. The higher the speed the higher the damage;
- Improved the auto-open door feature: response range has been increased;
- Modified the default graphics setting for some phone models;
- Game supports Huawei Honor 8x Max, Vivo Y97 and Vivo X23;
- Optimized the settings for graphics on the settings interface. Graphics will no longer be switched immediately after settings have been changed. Changes will only occur after players close the settings interface.
3. Optimized UI
- A change-name interface has been added to My Page;
- When the movement thumbstick is moved to the right side of the screen through customization, the zones of action for movement and aiming controls will switch sides. When the movement thumbstick is on the left side of the screen, the bottom-left of the screen is responsible for movement and the right side of the screen responsible for aiming. However, when movement controls are located on the right side of the screen, the bottom-right of the screen will be responsible for movement and the left side of the screen will then be used for aiming.
4. Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where the camera may pass through the interior of the wall as a player changes camera angle whilst in close proximity of a wall;
- Repaired the abnormal display of vehicles’ special effects;
- Repaired an issue concerning the adaptation of backpacks on edge-to-edge screens;
- Repaired an issue where the smashable door function may cause the game to quit unexpectedly;
