Previous Version[h3]New Content[/h3]
"KNOCKOUT TRIALS" EVENTWe are glad to present to you a new in-game event! You are in for lots of rewards available for the event currency and hot PvP combats.
PVP MODE "KNOCKOUT TRIALS"The mode can be described as a mix of "Team Deathmatch" and "Bag and Tag" — you will have to combine joint efforts if the team wants to win, and its participants will have to try and stay alive as long as possible.
At the beginning of the battle, each player has one skull token. When a player is eliminated, a skull with a counter will appear in their place. The counter displays the number of skulls that the player lost after their death. The player who picks up the skulls will increase theirs and their team's number of accumulated skull tokens. The winning team will be the one whose participants will manage to save or accumulate more skulls than their opponent team by the end of the match.
The teams will consist of six players and take place on the updated maps of the "Plant the Bomb" mode — "Gas Station", "Pyramid Modern", "Destination Modern", "D17 Modern" и "Bridges Modern".
You can find more details about the new event in a
recently announced or in a video below.

"GAS STATION" ("PLANT THE BOMB")Good news for fans of the classic "Plant the Bomb" mode — a new map has appeared in the game! "Gas Station" is a colorful map with a futuristic design. It features unique destruction mechanics: players can blow up doors and gates, and, thus, gain more tactical options.

But there is an important detail! Although players get more ways to attack by destroying objects, the explosion sound will give out their position.
Play on the new map and leave feedback about the new gameplay features on the "Gas Station" map.
The map will be available only in Quick Play, Custom Rooms and the "Knockout Trials" event.
BUCKLED LUPARAA new secondary weapon will become a reliable ally for Snipers. It sports high damage and an excellent rate of fire. It will help you at close range if the enemy caught you by surprise when you are out of ammo.
The combination of its advantages is offset by a lower magazine capacity and moderate range — you will have to shoot accurately, firing at long distances will not work. The weapon is very effective in combat, but requires increased concentration.
The weapon is availalble in the "Knockout Trials" event shop.
BARRETT M82A1The Barrett M82 (standardized by the U.S. military as the M107) is a recoil-operated semi-auto anti-materiel rifle used by many units and armies around the world. It is very similar in performance to the AWP — it also has high damage and a very low rate of fire. The novelty differs from its competitor in the principle of firing and by its special a silencer that does not reduce the characteristics of the weapon, as well as a unique bipod increasing the rate of fire in the prone position.
The rifle boasts an exclusive digital scope with a compass, rangefinder, tilt angle display, system time and the number of eliminated opponents. In addition, it highlights players when hovering over them.
Random Boxes with the series weapon model "Raider" are availalble in the "Knockout Trials" event shop. We will tell you about the ways to get the regular version later.
"RAIDER" SERIESThis weapon series is indispensable to survive out in the wild. The weapons are fixed with the blue electrical tape, but they are time-tested and have excellent characteristics! The series includes the IMBEL IA2 Assault, SIX12 AUTO-SD, Desert Tech MDRX, Barrett M82A1 and the Hunting Knife.

[h3]GAME IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]
IMPROVED SCOREBOARDWe continue to work on improving the in-game interface. In this update, the scoreboard has been revamped.
The previous version had many shortcomings — it was the same for all modes and did not show important information about the player's success in a particular mode.
On the new scoreboard, we divided information by game modes. For example, in "Capture", the number of delivered launch codes is displayed, in "Plat the Bomb" — the number of bombs planted and defused, and in "Storm" — the number of captured points.

[h3]SOON IN GAME[/h3]
