[h2]NEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTS[/h2]

[h3]Support Skill Tree Overhaul[/h3]

In this latest update, our focus has been on enriching and refining the gameplay options available to players who opt for the support role, emphasizing their skills and contributions to the team. We've implemented significant revisions to the Combat Medic class, where in players can now revive others more swiftly, with the healed life gradually replenishing over time.

[h3]Introducing the Stim Pistol[/h3]

Ever wanted a gun that mends wounds rather than inflicting them? Enter the Stim Pistol, inspired by the OSS Flying Dragon. This craftable, single-use, silent gas-powered handgun fires chemical darts capable of healing and reviving downed comrades from a distance. Additionally, it serves as a consumable for self-healing.

[h3]Self-Revive Skill[/h3]

A brand-new skill, Self-Revive, grants players the ability to resuscitate themselves once if they become incapacitated—a lifeline for those in dire situations, offering a second chance at survival.

[h3]Skill Tree Update[/h3]

Incorporating these new skills and carefully analyzing community feedback and data, we've meticulously restructured the skill tree and player progression. This comprehensive rework caters to both domination and survivor game modes, aiming to create a balanced yet engaging escalation of action during matches.

[h3]Content Progression Pack[/h3]

We've introduced a diverse array of player customization options, including the iconic German Feldgrau outfit, a customizable Smatchet knife, and a new weapon charm to adorn your arsenal.

[h3]Localization for German, French & Italian[/h3]

To foster a more inclusive global community, we've expanded language support to include German, French, and Italian, enabling more players to immerse themselves in the game.

[h3]Quality of Life Enhancements, Bug Fixes & More[/h3]

We've dedicated efforts to enhance various aspects of the game, refining overall usability to provide the most gratifying gaming experience possible.

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

Community feedback has been instrumental in enhancing the game. Here are some of the issues we've addressed in this update:

• Rectified a bug where spy radios failed to detect enemies if the planting player exited the match.
  
• Resolved minor localization issues across the game.
  
• Fixed animation bugs during the transition from crouched aiming to standing hipfire.
