Map selection interface

The interface and logic of map selection have been changed.



The key change is that there is no longer a timetable for the availability of maps. Now you can play on each of them at any time, if the necessary number of players will be found.

To get to the desired map, just click on its image. If you can't choose where to play, you can mark several maps and start searching — you will be joined to the most populated one at the moment.

Server selection

The old method of searching for matches has also been preserved. It is available in the “Select server” tab, where all the matches available for joining are shown.

New game modes

The game has two new modes — Arms Race and DeathMatch. They will be available one at a time, switching from one to another as the new day begins.

Arms Race

Familiar to many people mode appeared in our game!

The rules of the game are standard: when killing players, your weapon changes to a new one.

The first one who kills the enemy with the last weapon wins the match!

DeathMatch

The second mode, DeathMatch (DM), was inspired by games like Quake. It is fast and dynamic, with a short TTK and difficult shooting.

The set of equipment in this mode is prepared. There are only two weapons available to the player: one with high damage and low rate of fire, the second is its exact opposite.

GOST-17 — new session map

GOST-17 is a new format map made specifically for DM type modes. This time we decided to experiment with moving around the map by placing trampolines and teleports to quickly change positions.

Other session battles changes

Streets of Pripyat

For a more comfortable assaulting of the upper floors of high-rise buildings, the balconies around the central point C were slightly rebuilt.

Now, when climbing the stairs, the player gets into a cover where it is safe to continue the assault.


In addition, the trees that had previously blocked the gaps from one high-rise building to another were removed from the central point.

Changes to the duration of the game

The number of team points earned for holding points on large maps (Wormhole, Streets of Pripyat, Collapse, Colosseum) has been increased by 1.5 times.

This will reduce the duration of matches.

Season Pass points for session battles

You will receive Season Pass points for completing the session match. They will be issued in unsealed form and credited immediately.

Their number directly depends on your contribution to the match..

Report system refinments

Added a feature that allows you to report the player right in the characters profile.


Currently, only prohibited software reports are accepted.

After pushing the “Report” button, the report reason menu opens.

Changes to the economics of the Roadside location

Changed the economic component of the Roadside location. The purpose of the changes is to increase the value of the Outpost event and bring the economy of the Roadside into alignment with other locations in the corresponding belt.

Added stamina waste to grenade throw. With each grenade thrown, the stamina waste gets higher. The accumulated multiplier is reset in 4 seconds without throwing grenades.

Heavy combat suits

Heavy combat suits eventually became obsolete over time, giving way to more comfortable representatives of their class.

In this regard, Centurion Armored Exoskeleton has received a number of improvements, including those inherent only in superheavy armored suits, in the form of “Durability” and “Ignoring the movement speed penalty from weapons”.

Super-heavy armored suits have also been improved. They got increased explosion protection and increased load capacity, besides reducing the weight of most standard containers, should also make them easier to carry.

Weapon changes

Previously, hitting an equipped plate with a Gauss Rifle had no effect on its durability. Now the durability will decrease, but twice as slowly as if the full plate penetration function did not work. The same change applies to the CR-380.

[td]CR-380[/td]

[/tr]

Previously, PTRD-M destroyed the plate with a single shot, but the damage to the character was still reduced by the plate, which greatly affected the effectiveness of the weapon and partially made the death shot useless. Now the damage to the body is dealt in full.

— It was very wise of you to contact me on this issue. My colleagues would have a 97.5% chance of confusing and misinforming you, and with such a delicate structure as the Inside Out, it could cost you your life. So, what are you really interested in?

— Well, since this is an interview, then the short answer is 86% unlikely to suit you.In fact, the Inside Out is a subspace that is likely to be mutually dependent on the Zone and very similar to it, but exists according to other fundamental laws.

— There are two versions of the origin of the Inside Out: it was either created artificially in some way, or it is an unexpected result of entropy.
Eruptions in the Zone generated too much energy, some of which, unable to dissipate, interacted with the noosphere. The result of this synthesis was the birth of the Inside Out.

— This phenomenon is commonly called “distortion”. Of course, this is just a theory, but I believe that “distortion” is both a state and a process. That's what I'd bet on.When an object of our reality gets into the Inside Out, it carries information that is alien to it. Therefore, this space strives to make the object “its own”, replacing the original information of the object with itself. But it is not able to completely change the object due to the limited amount of information that matter can contain.This is the process of “distortion”. When the amount of information on both sides reaches a balance, “distortion” sets in as a condition. The object is now in superposition and is considered to be something suspended in the middle between two realities. A phantom!

— Perhaps they can be considered projections.… I am 72% sure of this. When the Inside Out replaces some original information of living objects, it remembers what it has displaced and projects its outlines in the place where it has overtaken. And since the distorted object contains both the original and the modified data, the phantoms manifest themselves in our Zone when the influence of the Inside Out is especially strong.

— Perhaps this is because the original information of the object is pushed away from the one of the Inside Out and is drawn to its own kind. And when the border gets thinner, it finds a way out and is reflected here. But this phenomenon has hardly been studied, and I would not bet money on the truth of this hypothesis.

— You're welcome, I was glad to help! And even though your bet didn't play out, I'm sure that we definitely met for a reason. I'm not saying goodbye, because I think we'll meet soon.
