- Fixed an issue where players do not respawn correctly on the ground when falling below the surface after defeating the 'Tormentor' in the Void Intercept Battle(Abyss).

- Fixed an issue where the UI completion indicator resets when completing the daily mission of the ‘Assist with Serena's Covert Operations’ event

- Fixed an issue where receiving mail containing both paid and free Calibers does not allow bulk collection using the 'Acquire All Attached Item' function.

- Fixed an issue where attempting to purchase items from the shop with insufficient Caliber shows the 'Insufficient Balance' popup, but selecting recharge does not proceed with the recharge.

- Fixed an issue where clicking the '+' button displayed in the Caliber possession details does not navigate to the Caliber purchase screen.

- Fixed an issue where purchasing the "Serena Growth Package" while all descendant slots are full would not immediately grant the item, but instead send it to the mailbox.

ㄴ The issue was caused by the "Serena" being granted before the descendant slot expansion within the same bundle, resulting in a slot shortage.

ㄴ For those who purchased the "Serena" separately before the hotfix, we will provide guidance on how to address this in a future notice.
