A letter from the A.V.A team(3)

Mercenaries!

After our partner streams, we've had a lot of users ask about the Weapon Modification Ticket system.

So, we will like to give you more information about how the Weapon Modification system works.

To request a modification for your weapon, you must have an item called the Weapon Mod Request Ticket.

When used, the modification points are randomly distributed within 5 points according to the designated modification category of each gun.

This improves the performance of the weapon: Attack(damage), Range, Firing Rate, Accuracy, Reload Speed, Recoil Control, Shot Amount (pellets of Shotguns), Mobility, Swap Speed (Sniper), and/or Aim Speed (Sniper).

Pressing the up arrow next to your weapon allows you to use 1 ticket.

Firearm Mod Request Tickets can be purchased through Euros or Medals through the shop. If you need more tickets you can also obtain them through random boxes that are given out at the end of every match.

The gun modification system is a way for you to customize the performance of your own firearm to fit your gameplay style.

If you press the modification icon and press modify, then you will lose the previous stats that have been applied to your weapon – this cannot be reverted back.

Please note that this is not a system that affects the balance of the game.

[Weapon Modification Request Q&A]
Q. How many times can I use Firearm Mod Request?
A. You will be able to use the Firearm Mod Request infinite times but, you will need tickets.

Q. Will the modification points be accumulated every time I use the Firearm Mod Request tickets?
A. No. Firearm Mod Request will only let you gain 5 random points on your weapon. If you use the ticket on your weapon that has already been modified, the weapon will be modified again giving it different stats.

You can check how many tickets you have in your inventory > equipment.


[Weapon Modification Tutorial]
In your inventory, press the arrow shape displayed on the left side of the weapon.


If you press the arrow shape, then this screen will appear. You can modify the item by pressing “Modify.”


Points will be distributed after weapon modification.


Improved figures for each stat area are displayed in green.
For example: The Range point blow shows 79.0 as the result of your weapon modification, NOT 79+8.

* The images above are examples for understanding purposes. The values applied to each item varies.

We hope this guide is informative!

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Your AVA Operations Team

A letter from the A.V.A team(2)

To Our Dedicated and Patient Community,

As we prepare for Playtest, we would like to let you know about the upcoming Escort mode!

More Fun
A.V.A’s Escort mode has been enjoyed by many players. Some of you may also remember the Breach mode being the modern successor of the Escort mode.
We thought a lot about ways to make the Escort mode more suitable for your gameplay experience. We noticed that the entry barrier for Escort mode was quite high, so we changed some of the complicated rules to make the mode more accessible for everyone. This means excluding the most difficult part of this mode to provide a fun experience for everyone!

Escort or Breach Mode?
Comparing these 2 exciting modes, Breach mode was created to make Escort mode more enjoyable! We made improvements by easing the tank repair method and regeneration time.
Escort and Breach modes both concentrated on the attacking and defensive aspects that made the game unique. While escort mode concentrated more on strategic gameplay experience, Breach mode focused on a more casual experience.

What’s Next?
In the upcoming beta testing (Playtest), we have prepared an environment where you can enjoy both Escort and Breach modes. You can be immersed into the combat environment through audio and visual experience as you fight through the battlefield. We hope you will enjoy both modes and provide valuable feedback!

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Your AVA Operations Team
