Wild Assault Early Access April 15 Hotfix Patch Note

Cover Art by Berry.

Good day, Wild Ones!

A hotfix is rolling out on April 15, 2025. In-game matches won't be affected by this update. However matchmaking may not function normally during the process. Please exit the game, complete the update, and launch your game client again.

Patch Note

[h2]Special Note[/h2]

[h3]Matchmaking Issues[/h3]

After days of thorough investigation, we’ve finally identified and resolved the matchmaking issue that led to a noticeable shortage of actual players in some rounds. With this fix, battles in Wild Assault will now be more competitive and enjoyable. We apologize for this and that’s a big PHEW!

[h3]Battle Pass Localization Issues[/h3]

Why We Issued the Refund on April 13
- To improve the Battle Pass player experience, we removed the weekly XP cap and made an official announcement on April 13. For players who purchased the Premium Pass (1380 Beast Coins) to level up despite the XP cap, we issued refunds after removing the XP cap.
Localization Issues That Caused Confusion
- However, we discovered that our localization partner provided incorrect English translations for the Battle Pass names. The pass costing 880 Beast Coins should have been titled "Advanced Pass," while the pass priced at 1380 Beast Coins should have been named "Premium Pass." We corrected this in today's hotfix and sincerely apologize for any confusion caused by this error.

[h2]Optimizations[/h2]

Optimized the red dot notification logic on the user interface to prevent it from reappearing when the game client reconnects to the server after a disconnection caused by unstable internet connections.
Adjusted the scoring system in Raid mode on The Crucent Bay: The Attackers’ maximum points are now 150, with a 50-point reward for capturing each objective zone.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

Fixed the issue where explosives could deal damage through walls.
Fixed an issue where Ryan could still use his Charge (E ability) while knocked down.
Fixed an issue where Erwin's Q ability could infinitely revive teammates.
Fixed an animation glitch and weapon pose issue when Erwin revived teammates immediately after casting her Q ability.
Fixed an animation glitch when Erwin switches to her primary weapon while her Q ability is active.
Fixed the incorrect kill icon art for Vladimir's Fury Cannon takedowns.
Fixed an issue where Zhenshan's E ability animation would glitch during tactical sprint.
Fixed an issue where rapidly releasing and re-pressing LMB during spraying could cause the LMG to jam.
Fixed an issue where Zhenshan’s ultimate ability minimap would persist after being taken down while the ultimate was active.
Fixed an issue where attackers' deployments were unintentionally destroyed when switching phases in WA Raid mode.
Fixed a crash caused by minimap image data overflow.

We’ve integrated the in-game channel survey into the game client. Feel free to share your suggestions and report any bugs you encounter. We’ll identify and address issues based on your feedback. https://wjx.cn/vm/hjG3A7d.aspx

First Prize Winner

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

At first glance, this artwork immediately caught my attention with its striking maid outfit. The adorable ears, tail, and paws create a strong contrast with the combat gear, making it incredibly eye-catching. The chest area serves as the primary visual focal point, skillfully guiding the viewer’s gaze through the use of perspective and lighting — a clever technique for enhancing the visual appeal of an anime-style character. Additionally, the color palette is well-balanced, and the overall dynamism, along with the intricate details of the outfit, demonstrates the artist’s solid skills. Great job!

Second Prize Winners

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

The dynamic and impactful pose, the crumbling cityscape, the trajectory of bullets, and the flying dust all vividly suggest a battlefield environment and intense tension, leaving a strong impression. From a technical standpoint, the artwork excels in both the large-scale perspective of the body structure and the intricate details of the clothing and head. It’s an outstanding piece.

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

The humorous portrayal of Vlad perfectly captures his personality, blending a dual charm of fierceness and adorableness with a commanding, powerful presence. The low-angle perspective, the weapon’s direction, and the flying shell casings all heighten the dynamic and imposing atmosphere, demonstrating remarkable adaptability and expressive strength.

Third Prize Winners

Artist: https://x.com/wolfox004

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

The exaggerated perspective composition and Akai's dynamic, tension-filled posture convey a sense of combat or attack, infusing the scene with energy and impact. The fluid and expressive lines, especially in depicting details like her fur and clothing folds, showcase texture and dimensionality through their variations. The warm tones on Akai contrast effectively with the cool tones of the background, enhancing the visual impact of the artwork.

Artist: https://x.com/windu_utom

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

Marquez is positioned at the visual center, while Ryan and Jack help enhance the atmosphere, creating a clear distinction between the primary and secondary elements. Together, they depict a highly amusing and lively scene. The artwork is dominated by cool tones, with her pink paw pads particularly eye-catching — likely one of the reasons why we’re all drawn to it.

Artist: https://x.com/SkeleionSFW

Combat Cat Studio Art Director Comment:

The overall color palette is dominated by dark green, creating a mysterious and cool atmosphere. The bright accents on Marquez (such as her eyes and the green parts of her equipment) serve to highlight key elements, enhancing visual appeal. The artist’s use of a comic-like, flattened style results in a unique artistic approach, making it truly distinctive.
