Warface: Clutch News

Soldiers!

The December update will feature several nice in-game changes. Some of them are very awaited. Now we are going to share the details! Additional ammunition slots (pockets) will be improved, and there will appear the "Delete all" button in the notification box; in addition, a couple of minor but pleasant changes will arrive to the game. Hurry up to learn more!

[h3]Reworked pockets[/h3]

The main change of the future update is the possibility to take two smoke grenades into battle instead of just one. The implementation is simple: now the player will be able to customize two support slots (the former "Smoke grenade" and "Flashbang grenade"). The total number of slots will not change and will remain the same, the customization possibility will be added only to the "Support" pockets. Thus, this will allow you to choose which set of additional grenades is more important in combat - a flashbang and a smoke grenade or two smoke grenades.

Additional visual changes have been made to the slot system. They do not affect the gameplay, but will allow you to better navigate the installation options for certain items.

We have conducted a survey among users on how many smoke grenades are needed in battle. The preferences were divided: the majority (almost 60% in total) voted for 2 items and only 39% for 4 smoke grenades. We consider the first option as the most probable for integration into the game. We would like to point out that an increase in smoke grenades to 4 pieces can negatively affect the overall performance of the game, especially for players with low-end PCs, so the option with two smoke grenades has been chosen.

We will be looking at testing results and will continue to collect feedback early next year. You will have time to play, evaluate the new gameplay, and share your impressions and suggestions.

[h3]"Delete all" button[/h3]

A long-awaited and very necessary button will soon be activated in the notification box. Now you can forget about the routine manual deleting of notifications - pressing one button will quickly save you from unnecessary spam. Please note: notifications with a choice option (for example, clan invitations or friend requests) cannot be deleted using this button.

[h3]Updating Metrics[/h3]

The server TickRate measurement units have been changed (from milliseconds to hertz). Previously, with a server value of 60 Hz, the client displayed 16.6 ms - these are correct and equivalent indicators. The value of 16.6 ms comes from the formula: 1000 ms / 60 Hz, it reflects information on the data exchange speed between the server and the game client. The user ultimately saw this value on his/her screen. It attracted attention and was interpreted ambiguously, so now the measurement units when switching to hertz will become more understandable and obvious for each player.

Be sure to leave feedback on the changes as soon as you try them out in the game - your feedback is important to us!

After the next update, Warface will feature two more new weapons: the PP-19-01 "Vityaz" and the Karambit with cool colourful camouflages. The submachine gun will appeal to everyone who appreciates comfortable controlled recoil, excellent rate and high range of fire, as well as superb damage and the ability to destroy enemies with one shot. The Karambit will get in the spotlight thanks to its unusual looks and high efficiency in close combat.

[h3]PP-19-01 "Vityaz"[/h3]

A Russian-made submachine gun developed in 2004 by the Izhmash company. It was named after the special forces unit of the internal troops of Russia "Vityaz". The operation method is based on the use of blowback bolt recoil energy. It has no gas system, firing is conducted with a closed bolt employing 9×19 mm cartridges in the single-burst and automatic modes.

In the game, the new gun sports controlled recoil, excellent damage and good rate of fire. Moreover, it can be equipped with a unique silencer that does not reduce damage. In some respects, the PP-19-01 "Vityaz" outperforms the AMB-17, but its advantages are offset by a slightly reduced hip-fire accuracy, as well as a smaller magazine and ammo.



The golden version, apart from a luxurious look, will be able to boast an even higher rate of fire and increased magazine capacity.

The PP-19-01 "Vityaz" can be modified with 4 unique attachments: a 1.3x fast-zoom collimator sight, a grip, a suppressor and a silencer.

• Collimator Docter Quicksight has a fast 1.3x zoom, and significantly reduces barrel sway.
  
• RK-4 Grip reduces spread and recoil by 20%, and increases the speed of weapon change.
  
• Suppressor DTK-2V reduces damage drop, increases penetration and slightly reduces scope shake.
  
• Silencer T-94 makes shooting stealthier and does not reduce damage.

By landing killing blows with the new weapon, you'll get memorable distinctions.



[h3]Karambit[/h3]

It is a unique knife with a curved blade sharpened on the inside. In the game, the knife resembling a tiger's claw has a unique animation and offers excellent characteristics on par with the already familiar melee models.

The Karambit will be available in two versions - the golden and the regular ones. The former is distinguished by slightly improved specs that will come in handy in close combat. In addition, the Karambit can be equipped with several exclusive skins that you will be able to try out in combat very soon.

Please note that the specs indicated are preliminary and can be subject to change per general testing results.

[h2]PvP maps rotation in Quickplay [/h2]

Some time ago we introduced a long-awaited feature - PvP map selection in Quick Play. Unfortunately, it led to splitting the search queue and thus increased the matchmaking time. Considering that we plan to disable the region selection in the Game Center in order to prevent people from joining a distant region (and thus making the gameplay less enjoyable for all those involved), we are concerned about this issue and aim to mitigate it ASAP. Details.

The following maps will stay in Quickplay on a permanent basis:

• Plant the Bomb: all maps.
  
• Team Death Match: Oil Depot, Hangar 2.0, Street Wars, Aul, Tunnel.

• Team Death Match: Dock, Sirius, Airbase
  
• Free For All: Sanctuary
  
• Bag and Tag: Coliseum
  
• Capture: Quarry
  
• Storm: Blackgold 2.0
  
• Destruction: Hollywood
  

[h2]Special operation Event (Part 2)[/h2]

• While playing on a game client with a DirectX 9 support some players can encounter black screen problem after using Alt + Tab keyboard shortcut in a fullscreen mode.
  

Make sure your game client is updated to the last version to prevent any new problems. The update will be downloaded automatically as you launch the game.

Good luck in combat!

In the upcoming update, the primary weapon selection will be replenished with new items. Hurry up to learn more. We are sharing the first details. Medics will get a powerhouse of a shotgun Benelli M4 Custom, while the Riflemen's arsenal will be topped up with the assault rifle AN-94 "Abakan". These guns sport excellent specifications and can be easily modified to suit the shooter's needs, which will definitely appeal to connoisseurs of perfectly balanced weapons.

[h3]Benelli M4 Custom[/h3]

The M4 is the first auto-regulating gas-operated shotgun produced by Benelli. Its simplicity, durability and originality quickly attracted the public interest - and the weapon was quickly employed by the military. Its system consists of two main parts: a gas chamber and a short stroke gas piston. The patented gas-operated system guarantees high accuracy of fire, as well as reliability and durability of the weapon. This made the M4 one of the best combat shotguns of the US military.

In the game, the arm offers a semi-automatic firing mode. Anyone armed with a Benelli M4 Custom is capable of easily eliminating any opponent with one single shot. In addition, depending on the tactical situation, the gun can be easily modified with a unique suppressor and a fast 1,3x zoom sight.



The golden version, apart from luxurious looks, will boast an even higher rate of fire and increased magazine capacity.

• Benelli M4 Custom Suppressor reduces muzzle flash and damage drop, and improves penetration.
  
• Collimator Hakko BED-24 Panorama sports a fast 1.3x zoom and reduces spread and recoil by 20%.

By landing killing blows with the new weapon, you'll get memorable distinctions.



[h3]AN-94 "Abakan"[/h3]

The AN-94 "Abakan" was developed by a small arms designer Gennady Nikonov. The assault rifle boasts high accuracy and low spread. When firing in long bursts, the weapon shows as good performance as the AK-74 regarding accuracy and bullet spread while in single burst fire mode it even surpasses its peer due to a long sight line.

In the game, the rifle fires two bullets in a semi-automatic firing mode. The weapon specs are perfectly balanced: excellent damage and rate of fire, good aiming range and the availability of a unique grip that reduces spread and increases the arm reloading speed.



The golden version of the assault rifle, apart from stunning looks, will boast an even better effective range and increased magazine capacity.

• A special "Abakan" grip decreases spread and recoil by 15%, and improves the reload speed by 15%.

By landing killing blows with the new weapon, you'll get memorable distinctions.



Please note that the specs indicated are preliminary and can be subject to change per general testing results.

[h3]Game Center Update[/h3]

Following our strategy of improving the regional matchmaking, we are going to readjust the sub-server selection option for some players. In the near future some regions will remain hidden for a player depending on the ping value they have for each region.

Here’s a quick breakdown of how it will work:

• If a player has the ping value of 60ms and less for at least one region, all other regions (having the value of 60+ ms) will be unavailable for them;
  
• If a player’s ping is higher than 60ms for all regions in the list, the selection option will remain the same as it is now.

Please note that these values are preliminary and are subject to change per general testing results. We will be closely monitoring your feedback and our internal statistics to ensure the desired positive impact of these changes.

As we have mentioned before, we are also working on improving the server coverage area as well as readjusting our server structure. Stay tuned for more details!

See you in combat!
