Hello, this is the Creative Director of Blackout Protocol, Jaeeun Park.

Today, we're going to talk about a new meta that you'll encounter while playing the game: body modifications.

In its current state, Blackout Protocol has two big pillars that shape playstyle: Synaptic Enhancements and Weapon Perks. Both are focused on linear growth, especially damage efficiency. This naturally leads players to optimize their DPS above all else. Also, since both types of upgrades exclusively provide benefits, the task of balancing player damage increase and baseline enemy strength has required meticulous reviews and tweaks.

[The new Body Mod Voucher item and the repurposed terminal]

To address these issues and add more freeform flexibility to gameplay, we’ve decided to implement a body modification system, and make some overhauls to weapon perks.

Upon collecting a Body Mod Voucher and redeeming it at a terminal, you’ll be given a choice between two mods. Each mod contains a random selection of advantages and disadvantages. These aren’t based on your current game progress or persistent growth status, which means that with some lucky draws, it’s entirely possible to wind up with a pretty extreme build—like taking on harsh penalties in exchange for drastically reducing your reload speed, or cranking up your firing speed until your gun is a nonstop laser of lead.

[Body Mod system UI in the current work-in-progress development build. While some text is still in Korean, you can see what type of stats you are choosing from—especially seeing the list of Body Mods applied before the current selection]

Once we finish our work on these four systems—Agent Upgrades, Synaptic Enhancements, Body Modifications, and Weapon Perk overhauls—players can look forward to a wider variety of viable playstyles.

We know updates have slowed a bit lately, and we thank you for your understanding while we work hard on implementing this and other major changes. We will continue to communicate as new updates roll out.

Thank you for your support.
