The new agent Carp is already available in the game. He has joined the ranks of Medics in the new season. Egor Karpov is a former paratrooper, who served in the nuclear, biological and chemical weapons division. Now he's a mercenary that specializes in operations in hazardous areas.
Details
Egor was born in a small village in Kazakhstan. During an urgent and contract service, he became a military physician, and also took part in several dozens of combat and rescue operations in destroyed nuclear power plants and in chemical disaster zones.
After the army, Egor did not join the ranks of a private military company, but instead began to work on commission, choosing rather difficult contracts. The young man was in good standing thanks to a lucky combination of rare skills.
Egor was very fond of equipment and, despite his wealth, preferred to procure equipment during missions, examining abandoned high-security locations. "This is the only way to get the best equipment" — the young man thought, while studying the contents of the lockers from abandoned bunkers and missile control centers. Was this right or wrong? Well, so far, none of Egor's allies has died due to radiation or poisoning, which says a lot!

The game now offers weapons of the series "Zone": IWI Galil ACE Gen II Rifle, Benelli Super Black Eagle 3, SIG 552 Commando, Benelli MR1, Ruger Mark IV Lite and the Hunting Knife.

A new content update has been installed on the game servers. The game now offers an in-game event, weapon models, a new PvP mode and a PvE mission, bug fixes and much more. Read on to learn the details!
Click on the image to open an enlarged version in a separate window.
We continue the process of integrating the Texture Streaming technology into the game. The weight of this update is ~5.5 GB.
We are glad to present to you an all-new event "Big Hunt". It preserves the general principle - play, earn special currency and spend it on the desired items, but the gameplay has been reworked. Event novelties include:
a PvE mission "Retaliation";
a PvP mode "Gun Game";
special contracts;
an updated shop with event items;
a vault allowing to accumulate more currency;
rewards for a certain number of victories in the modes.
We will tell you more about the event and its features in a separate publication. You can also check it out in the game.
PvE Mission "Retaliation"
In the new mission, you will continue to fight for Blackwood. The soldiers will have to search the enemy logistics base and uncover the secrets the opponent is hiding.
The warehouse is well guarded, and a lot of challenges will await you on the way: turrets, mines, electric traps, as well as the final boss - a helicopter. Be careful! In addition, there are several Easter eggs hidden on the map - can you find them all?
PvP mode "Gun Game"
The PvP part of the event features a new "Gun Game" mode where the main goal is to eliminate opponents with different arms and go through the entire chain of available weapon models as quickly as possible. In this mode, players do not choose weapons. The arm automatically changes as soon as the soldier meets the condition of the current stage. The one who first tries out all the weapons and performs the final kill with the last arm wins.
The game in the new mode is carried out on an equal footing. All players have the same equipment, advance through the same chain of weapon models and start with the same guns. To move to a new stage and get a new weapon, the player needs to make two kills. After death, the character will respawn in a random place on the map and will be invulnerable for some time (or until the first movement).
Special Contracts
There are now three event contracts at your disposal. Complete them to add even more event currency to your account. With its help, you will quickly get closer to the desired reward and will be able to significantly increase your earnings in the "Big Hunt". Click on the links to learn contract details.
The SIX12 AUTO-SD is a modern bullpup shotgun chambered for the 12-gauge shells. The novelty sports a high rate of fire, good accuracy and excellent range. In addition, the gun has increased damage multipliers. The perks are set off by a significantly reduced (compared to the rest of the Medic's arsenal) base damage and a modest cylindrical magazine that can hold up to 6 rounds.
This combination of characteristics embodies a classic arm for the Medic - a fighter who easily eliminates opponents at close range, but gradually loses power as the firing distance increases. Be sure to play with the new weapon and share your thoughts!
Agent "Carp" Set
The agent pack includes weapons and camos of the "Zone" series, a unique skin for Medics, weapon charms and achievements designed in the agent's style, as well as new contracts yielding the listed content and other useful items. Learn more about the pack and the agent's story in a separate publication.

In-game Improvements
Texture Streaming
We continue to rework textures for the full-fledged operation of the technology, which allows us to optimize the load on the PC. This update is the next step in the process and weighs ~5.5 GB.
Content Changes
AWP
Based on the testing results, we have decided to revise the sniper rifle settings and made the following tweaks:
increased range (from 50 to 80);
increased rate of fire (from 34 to 37);
increased ADS speed;
improved aiming animation;
tweaked recoil while using the sniper scope;
reduced sway.
Weapons and Gear
IWI Galil Ace Gen II Rifle: reworked the weapon model in the third person view; updated the weapon model size of the golden version.
Changed set icons (items for the in-game store), which include the "Apostate" and "Snowstorm" armour sets.
Other
The game lobby has been replaced with its thematic version in the style of the "Big Hunt" event.
Battle Pass: the timer in the daily quest section is now updated in real time (it used to be updated only when the section was opened).
Updated localization: added some missing in-game and item descriptions, fixed some inconsistencies.
Bug Fixes
Important
Progression System: fixed a bug due to which the reward for reaching level 450 was missing.
Fixed a bug due to which the slide sound continued to play even if the character's slide had been interrupted (for example, by colliding with an obstacle).
Fixed a bug that allowed players to equip prohibited items in Ranked Matches.
Sunrise: fixed a bug due to which, in some cases, the player interacting with a portable shield could be kicked by the defense system.
Weapons and Gear
Golden S&W M&P R8: fixed a bug due to which it was impossible to install the collimator EOTECH 553 on the revolver.
IWI Galil ACE Gen II Rifle: fixed the size of the achievement icons for kills made with this model.
PvE and SpecOps
Sunrise: fixed an exploit that allowed movement with a portable shield at normal speed.
Other
"Trickster" Contract: - fixed a bug due to which some tasks yielded permanent items without repairs. - fixed an incorrect localization of the first contract stage.
Massive Removal of Expired Items: fixed a bug due to which the icons of some items were not displayed in the list.
Known Issues
When receiving several boxes (for example, as a reward for completing a contract task), the player sees only the contents of the first box. Items from other boxes are automatically sent to the Inventory.
PvE mission "Retaliation": during a helicopter flight, some environmental objects are not displayed.
Some time ago, we informed you that the clans whose members had not logged into the game for 6 months or more would be disbanded. The leaders of the clans facing disbanding received a corresponding notification. To prevent dismantling, a clan member should have logged into the game before the procedure kicked off. The clans that did not comply with the requirement have been disbanded.
The new agent Ghost is already available in the game. Anika Crow aka Ghost has joined the ranks of Snipers in the "Rock Solid" season. Anika is one of the best sniper mercenaries — she never misses and leaves no traces.
Details
Anika Crow began "working" somewhere around 2034. During this time the press paid attention to several contract murders that had the same signature style: all the victims died due to one single shot, no traces of the culprit were found. It is possible that there are also earlier cases to which no one paid attention, especially since conflicts have been ongoing for a long time. There have been many attempts to calculate who Crow is and catch her, but she always managed to escape the persecutors.
It is said that she does not cooperate with any governmental organization, at least on a regular basis. But this is not entirely true: some mysterious deaths suggest that Anika still takes on government jobs, although infrequently. In addition, in the last couple of years, a number of military operations had to be canceled due to the unexpected death of the enemy command, and so many, not without reason, believe that this is also Anika's work.
No one actually knows Anika's real name, and many think that her name is just an alias. At least, there are no people with such information in any database. Anika picks up orders from bulletin boards, takes payment in cryptocurrency and doesn't contact clients. Some think that she is actually a man, many suspect that there is a whole group of professionals that work under Crow's name. Perhaps Anika is actually credited with other snipers' achievements, and she herself is just a city legend ... New theories appear almost as often as new victims do.

In addition, achievements for kills made with the new weapon models and unique distinctions designed in the agent style have been added to the game. Destroy enemies with "City Ghost" arms, and earn cool achievements to pin them on your profile!

The latest update is the following stage in the integration of the Texture Streaming technology and it weighs ~3.5 GB.
The new arm is an upgraded version of the Israeli assault rifle Galil ACE. The novelty sports excellent specs and can easily compete with the AS Val Custom. The new weapon boasts increased damage, good accuracy and an impressive rate of fire set off by slightly reduced damage multipliers and high recoil.
The golden version features a larger magazine and higher ammo capacity.

Very soon, a new agent will appear in the game - Anika Crow, known as the agent "Ghost". She will join the ranks of Snipers.

The set includes weapons and camos of the "City Ghost" series, a unique character skin, a weapon charm and distinctions designed in the agent's style.
Some of the novelties will be available in a special contract. Stay tuned to be the first to know the details!

Fixed a bug due to which players did not get daily tasks after the Battle Pass launch.

We are glad to present to you a new seasonal update "Rock Solid". It includes a lot of content novelties, game improvements and updated mechanics. This is the first part of the season featuring a new progression system and a Battle Pass. In addition, we have added content for St. Patrick's Day, continued the integration of the Texture Streaming technology, reworked two PvP maps, as well as fixed bugs and made other important changes.
This update is the second step in the integration of the Texture Streaming technology and it weighs ~10.53 GB.
After the installation of the update, players faced a number of issues. Some of them had a significant impact on gameplay and playability, while others had a lesser impact but still reduced the quality of the large update. Some of them were solved with a hotfix installed on March 18. In this publication, you can learn more about the status of the remaining problems. We will do our best to deliver a fix for them as soon as possible.
On March 16th, the "Rock Solid" seasonal update was installed on the game server. The update originally had risks of causing certain difficulties due to the fact that it affected the in-game progression system, which is a core mechanic that is involved in literally every aspect of the game. Unfortunately, some users did in fact face a number of issues. Some of them had a significant impact on gameplay and playability, while others had a lesser impact but still reduced the quality of the large update.
In this article, we want to tell you about the status of the aforementioned problems we have at the moment and share what we plan to do next. You can read all about it below. If you're wondering what changes have been made to the game in the "Rock Solid" season, check out the full patch notes.
Fixed Bugs
Important
Fixed some causes of spontaneous crashes of the game client. For example, after purchasing Battle Pass levels or at the end of a match on the scoreboard. According to our statistics, the number of crashes has decreased by about 2 times, but there are still more of them than before the update.
Fixed a bug due to which some players were not credited with the Ruger Mk IV Lite pistol upon reaching the 21st league. Players who received the 21st league after the maintenance on March 18th correctly get the pistol. Those who had reached the league before the maintenance began will receive the gun within a few days.
The bug due to which, after the update, some players' previously accumulated XP was converted into higher ranks or prestige levels (players received level 91 and higher without gaining enough experience) has been partially fixed.
Please note: if you have encountered this error and got a high level, we will write off all the extra experience you gained and return it to the level before the update. However, obtained golden weapons and achievements will not be taken away as compensation for the lost progress gained fairly during the 2 days. For now, the write-off of experience has been postponed, but it will be completed in the near future.
Other
Battle Pass
Fixed an issue that prevented players with Standard Premium Access from unlocking two extra daily task slots.
PvP
Oil Depot Convoy, Phantom Zone Convoy: fixed a bug due to which environmental sounds were not loaded on the maps.
UI
Fixed a bug due to which active boosters were incorrectly displayed next to the players' nicknames on the scoreboard.
Fixed a bug due to which banner images were missing from the main menu.
Website and Game
Random Boxes, which were removed earlier due to problems with experience gain in the progression system, will soon return to the in-game store (the problem was solved by a hotfix on March 18).
There is a Solution to the Problem
Some players who finished the recent Ranked Matches season in top three leagues have not received a box with camouflages. Within a few days, we will give all players who finished the season in these leagues one box with camouflages. If you have already got the box, you will receive another one.
Rewards for ranks can be granted with a delay. Please play a few matches to get all the prizes. In some cases, the level up reward notification does not correspond to the items of choice offered in the next window (the player is offered to choose from other articles). In this case, just play several matches or wait a bit and you will get the reward.
Client installation issue: the Game Center reports insufficient disk space (try to free up some space and deactivate the anti-virus during the update download to resolve the issue).
The PvP mode or Ranked Matches are not available in spite of a high character level. To unlock them, play any PvE mission or Special Operation and correctly complete it with a victory or a defeat.
Will Be Fixed in the Upcoming Updates
Battle Pass
After purchasing standard premium access, the daily task may not be available to some players once the timer expires. Once the issue is fixed, we plan to grant Battle Pass levels to such players as a compensation. The number of levels will be discussed later when the problem is completely resolved.
The Battle Pass contract name is not localized.
Other
Some mods have an incorrect description.
Work in Progress
This section includes all other problems. As a rule, they are less critical or a small percentage of players encounter them. We will continue to investigate the issues; however, we can expect fixes for these problems in several updates or after a certain time.
The client crashes when exiting the game via the menu.
In some cases, upon reaching prestige levels (100 and above), information is not displayed in the "Progress" and "Profile" sections (players see a blank screen).
Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 (all versions): incorrect shooting sound.
Sunrise: in some cases, players get kicked by the internal defense system (for example, when using a portable shield).
Easy PvE Mission (Africa, Act 2): the mission cannot be completed as, at some stage, there spawns no NPC, which must be eliminated to continue completion.
The first victory of the day reward notification mentions vendors.
Why did it Happen?
Due to the quantity of new features and tweaks, the probability of technical problems increased. In spite of all testing, many of the current issues manifested themselves only under load on the live server.
We are sorry that you have faced these issues. We will do our best to draw on this experience in future updates.
At the moment, we have managed to solve the most critical problems - these are crashes and issues with the progression system. We will continue to work on the remaining bugs and will promptly report any changes.
If you are experiencing any other problems, please, report them in on our Discord server.
The luckiest day of the year is finally here! Time to don your green outfit and equip yourselves with your favourite shimmering items. Let your unsurpassed skill blind your enemies like a golden grenade. Join Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations!
