For three months straight, stalkers have been terrifying Murmur in Operations — it's time to have a look at the results so far in numbers!

• Those who enjoy “friendly fire” or Medics often choose Saturn Jumpsuit and VSSK Vykhlop;
• Agile Operatives most often choose JD ZIVCAS 2A and MG 3;
• They talk about him as a man who stands and absorbs all the damage — the Assault prefers to stand and absorb in SBA TANK and MG 3;
• The maximum for The Big Clean Up is 84 clearance, while Focus is only 70.

You can find more detailed metrics on clearances and class combinations in the infographic.

Sharp-eyed players may have noticed at the preflop that one of the charms in the new case isn’t quite like the others. Time to lay the cards on the table and explain what’s going on:

In the Trooper’s Crate, you can obtain the Four Fools charm with a new mechanic: when it drops and is transferred to your personal storage, the charm generates a random set of cards.

There are 1 413 720 possible combinations. And an important note — the charm always contains 4 different cards!

In the future, each combination will be tied to a specific rarity.
