[h3]What's New:[/h3]

- The first competitive season has begun in CONVRGENCE with unique cosmetic rewards. To earn the reward you need to complete the following challenges:

• Score 20 points in the shooting range to earn the engraved revolver.
  
• Score 12,000 points in a raid to earn the NKVD Finka knife.
  

Additionally, all leaderboard results from the past two months have been reset. Test your luck and secure a spot in the top rankings.

- The leaderboard functionality has been expanded.

• You can now switch pages to see the results of the top 100 players, not just the top 15.
  
• You can now filter leaderboard results to show only friends.
  
• Supporters names are now highlighted among all players on the leaderboards.
  

- Two new upgrades for the wristwatch are now available in the trader's shop:

• Improved Detector (detection range of artifacts doubled) - 2 reputation, 8500 rubles.
  
• Compass (indicates direction towards the extraction point) - 4 reputation, 17500 rubles.
  

- A return mechanic for items has been added to the shop. You can return an item just purchased from the trader for the same price.

- The Insurance status is now also displayed on the Statistics tab in the PDA.

- A new third tab has been added to the PDA, allowing you to get information about items. Currently, the functionality is limited to displaying the name and price. However, the price is displayed only as a category (low, medium, and high) and only after the item is first sold to the trader.

- Fixed a bug where enemies would not react to the sound of a tripwire explosion
- Fixed a bug where a second car, which a bandit searches, could spawn inside the garage
