June 23 (Thu) Patch Notes

Hello, agents from around the world.

Here are some notes on our latest patch on MM/DD to help you have a smooth testing experience.

■ Patch schedule
- To be shown in KST - 6/23 16:00 / PST - 6/23 00:00

■ Matching Logic Improvements
In solo queue, lower and upper-ranked players formed a single team which did not lead to satisfying gameplay in both groups.
Please understand that with the new matching logic, matching times will increase compared to the previous one.
Sophisticated matching qualities and matching times are like a seesaw, so, it will be crucial to organize and balance them at the right level.

■ Fixed an issue with the message system
We have identified an issue where the redeemed reward items were deleted without receiving them. We will address this issue during the scheduled maintenance on June 23.

1. 3rd Twitch Drops Open (limited Twitch cosmetics drops event)

The development team sincerely appreciates the love, interest, and feedback received during the beta period.
To thank you all, we are announcing the final event to fire up the end of this festival.

From June 24(Fri) to the end of the beta on June 26(Sun),

for that match during the event hours.

Received suits are redeemable from your inbox.

FAQ
01. How many Sand-Camo VX suits are there, and how many matches do I have to play to get them all?
There are 9 Sand-Camo VX suits for each agent with no duplicates. Since you receive the suit for the agent you played with during the event, you must play a match with all nine agents to redeem all nine suits.

02. Do I get a suit only after the match is over within the event hours?
As long as you start the game during the event hours and end the match normally, you will receive the suit.
(For example, you start a match on June 25(Sat) at 12:52 PST and end it at 13:08. You will still receive the suit)
Vice versa, starting a match before the event hours begin and ending it during the event hours will also redeem the suit.

03. Can I play a custom match for the event?
Custom matches are not eligible for the event.

04. Does it have anything to do with the Twitch Drops?
Sand-Camo VX suits event has nothing to do with Twitch Drops.
