📰 Patchnote [25.07.24]

Now the magazines have fixed reload time without any reload buffs or debuffs. The weapons now have a new "Ergonomics" stat that affects reload speed. In case of 100% Ergonomics, reload value is as stated in the magazine's description, if it is more than 100% the value gets faster and slower if it is less than 100%.

• In addition, basic reload of some weapons and magazines' stats were recalculated.
  

Old random jamming mechanincs was replaced by guaranteed jamming in case of continuous shooting. Jamming happens in case of uninterrupted shooting with at least x1.5 bigger than a standard magazine.

For example, if the weapon's standard magazine is 30 nm, then jamming happens on the 45th uninterrupted shot (the jamming is possible only in case of 46+ ammo magazines).
When reaching 75% jamming limit the weapon starts making a special clicking sounds. After reaching 100% the jamming happens.

[h2]Exceptions
[/h2]

• Machine guns (in case of durability higher than 25%).
  
• The guns, that have an ability of placing the magazine of different weapon category( e.g. SIG Sniper or SOK-94).
  
• M16A1 and M16A2 with the standard magazine of 25 bullets jam on 45th shot, as most of the assault riffles do.
  
• Flamethrower, Tinderbox, Coldcutter, revolvers, and bolt-action rifles do not jam.
  
• The jamming limit reduces to zero in case of the weapon durability being less than 25% for most of the weapons. Jamming risk elimination takes half of a second of stopped shooting.
  

Updated and expanded barter lines of the sniper rifles and submachine guns. There are following new items:

A lot of already present items changed their position in the barter line according to the change of characteristics.

• Some of the attachment were combined with the weapon and deleted from the barter line.
  

After the introduction of the corrections in the economy of the North and the collection of the analysis, it is now possible to adjust the recipes of barter of the North for better conformity of the planned progression. All of the North barter items recipes have undergone insignificant changes. That is related to some players bartering their equipment too fast/too slow. Thus, changes were applied to solve this type of problem.

Take AEK-971 for example:


[h2]Changed Factional armor recipes[/h2]. Armors have been divided into categories, each of them requiring different types of recourses.

For instance, Super-Heavy Armors will now require NPC recourses and Quantum Batteries.
Reduced factional armor cost.

Let's look at the Vanguard Armored Suit:
Scientist suits will no longer require Quantum Batteries, however the amount of the remaining recourses were increased. Example:

Due to the barter line changes, we decided to make the following compensations:
Compensations will be delivered in the personal storage.



WA2000 has been removed from the barter tree, and can be used exclusively for bartering the SVD-M.

• Weapon renamed to MG-3
  
• Updated visual
  
• Improved modularity
  

[h2]Laser Sight (LS)[/h2]
Now, the stats from multiple laser sights no longer stack.

• For example: if you equip two laser sights on a weapon, one with 15% hip-fire spread and the other with -20%, only the laser sight with -20% will provide its stats.
