Warface: Clutch News

Previous version

[h3]New Content[/h3]

KH9-EX

We are glad to present to you a new weapon for Engineers. The gun is equipped with unique attachments that cannot be replaced with standard modifications. Its silencer does not reduce damage, while the grip reduces recoil. One of the unique sights (2x) indicates the distance to the target. In terms of the specifications, the model is close to the SAR 109T Specs: it has increased damage, improved rate of fire, excellent accuracy and impressive range of fire, offset by the minimum damage values, moderate head and limbs damage multipliers and most importantly — recoil which is more difficult to control.



The KH9-EX is available in two versions — the regular and golden ones. The golden version is distinguished by increased rate of fire and greater magazine capacity.

We will tell you more about the ways of getting them later.

"Route 66" Series

The weapon series has been replenished with two new items — the IMBEL IA2 Assault and the Benelli MR1, as well as camos for them.



We will tell you more about the ways of getting them later.

[h3]Content Changes[/h3]

Return of Boosts to the Modern Maps

Some spots of co-op actions (boosts) have been returned to the Modern maps, while some existing spots have been reworked — now, these interactions are similar to those you encounter on the regular versions of the maps.

These changes affected Quick Play and Custom Rooms. The versions of the maps without boosts are now available only as a part of the seasonal "Knockout Trials" event.

Ranked Matches

We are aware of the issues with matchmaking in Ranked Matches and continue our work on improving the situation — we aim to reduce the matchmaking time and improve the quality of matchmaking. In this update, there will be several minor changes that may improve the situation.
The maximum rating currency limit has been increased to 3300 points.

Weapons and Gear

• IMBEL IA2 Assault:
  - increased rate of fire (from 425 to 465);
  - softer recoil;
  - special underbarrel grenade launcher: reduced range and speed of the grenade.
  
• OTs-14 Groza: reduced the visual shaking when firing (especially in the aiming mode) and increased the speed of weapon reload animation in order to match the real reload time.

Map Rotation

In one of the previous publications, we talked about changing the list of available maps and modes. Some of them will be available on a temporary basis and rotate every two weeks, while other maps or modes will become seasonal, appearing in the game as part of special events.

In this update, we have disabled some of the maps — they are no longer available. In addition, we have updated the terms of contracts including tasks related to the disabled modes ("Domination", "Battle Royale" and "Destruction") — these tasks are no longer available.

Other

• Added highlighting of the weapon silhouette in the character's hands. Previously, if a player was watching an ally, he or she would see only the highlighted silhouette of the character.
  
• Scoreboard:
  - headshots are now displayed as a number instead of a percentage;
  - in the "Plant the Bomb" and "Blitz" modes, the number of revived players is now displayed;
  - added columns with the number of deaths and accuracy;
  - removed the column indicating the player's clan.

[h3]Soon in Game[/h3]

Vepr VPO-X3

The Vepr VPO-X3 is a new weapon for Medics. If you like weapons firing short bursts, this new one is for you! The Vepr VPO-X3 is a semi-automatic shotgun capable of firing 3-round bursts with a minimal delay. At close ranges, this shotgun is guaranteed to eliminate the enemy by hitting any part of the body, regardless of the equipment worn. This advantage is offset by a short firing range and the lack of possibility to reload one round at a time. Attachments include a unique scope and a special suppressor, as well as a standard set of barrel modifications.



We will tell you more about the ways of getting the weapon in separate publications.

Agent Taishan Pack

The agent's pack includes "Avalanche" weapons and camos, a Medic suit, a special weapon charm and achievements designed in the agent's style. You can get the items by completing new contracts.

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

Weapons and Gear

• Raider Barrett M82A1: fixed a bug due to which, in the third person view, the lens of the unique sight was too bright against the background of the model.
  
• Flippers Charm: fixed a bug due to which the charm textures intersected with some weapon models.

PvP

• "Knouckout Trials" mode:
  - fixed a bug due to which the player did not receive a penalty after leaving the match before the end. - Now, the penalty will be imposed: this is an accumulative ban of the ability to search for a match like in "Quick Play";
  - fixed a bug due to which, in some cases, the sounds of the announcer could be played with a delay.
  
• "Free for All": fixed a bug due to which, at the end of the match, all opponents were displayed as allies.

Other

• Fixed a bug due to which part of the voting timer for the next map was not showing at 4K screens.
  
• "Black Market": fixed a bug due to which the timer line was displayed incorrectly before updating the assortment of the showcase (it went beyond the screen border).
  
• Fixed a bug due to which the descriptions of some charms could be duplicated.
  
• Fixed a bug due to which, in some cases, weapons could not be purchased if there was a discount on them (incorrect rounding of the amount).
  
• Fixed a bug due to which the summer event tasks could be completed in Private Rooms.
  
• "Black Market Order" Contract: corrected a mistake in the task description.
  
• Fixed a bug due to which some box icons were displayed incorrectly in the in-game store.

[h3]Known Issues[/h3]

• Ranked Matches: the season leaderboard is not correctly displayed. In the current update, we are making a technical release of this mechanic including the tools needed for further work with the leaderboard, data collection and demonstration.

Good luck in battles!

Friends!

We have recently released a publication about changes in the game regarding maps and modes aimed to decrease the matchmaking time.

We have noticed that a number of PvP modes and maps have a very low pick rate. We know how upsetting it can be to wait long while searching for a match. So, not to split the matchmaking queues, we want to reduce the pool of available PvP maps and modes, rotate some of them biweekly and add the rest of maps occasionally as an event.

The changes will go live on August 24.

Friends!

We are happy to introduce a redesigned modification system. A few words about the main changes — now, mods are unlocked as you play, there are new customization bonuses for the accumulated progress, the progression system is now more convenient and new modifiable weapon models have appeared. Want to know the details? Read on and expect a new modification system with one of the nearest updates!

[h2]About the Modification System[/h2]
The Modification system is new progression mechanics for in-game items. It allows to change the specs of certain primary or secondary weapons as well as the "Spectre" gear by applying mods. The modification system allows the player to improve his or her guns and customize their characteristics to better suit his or her individual game style.

In the current modification system, by completing special contracts, or leveling up through the item progression, you can get a special currency — parts, which can then be used to customize articles with mods. Weapons and gear level up while playing with them. The more you use an item in the game, the higher its level, and the greater the range of available mods. For different types of weapons (assault rifles, shotguns, etc.) there is a different set of mods available.

[h3]Reasons for the Changes[/h3]
The current mod system, in our opinion, has a number of drawbacks. Among the most important are the random drop of mods, a small list of weapons that can be modified and the lack of possibility to save received mods.

We want to fix them so that the player will be able to afford weapon improvement and be interested in it. We also aim to bring back the relevance of some of the legendary models that were very popular among players in the past years.

[h2]About the Changes[/h2]
[h3]New Progression[/h3]
In the new progression system, the number of levels will be reduced to 40. The first levels in the progression are very easy to achieve and require a small amount of experience, but as you level up, the progression will gradually become more difficult. The current progress of items will be saved — if you have upgraded a weapon by half (level 50 out of 100), it will automatically be converted to level 20 in the new system. In addition, mods currently installed on weapons will be transferred to the Inventory while maintaining their rarity.

Weapon Progression


You can speed up the weapon progression by using a Mastery Booster or by purchasing the levels.

As you upgrade weapons, you can get various items: new mods, parts, unique equipment, and mod slots. In addition, upon reaching the last levels of mastery of some weapons, you will receive customization items (read more about them below).

[h3]Item Leveling Up[/h3]
You can earn mastery points in battles. The more you use a weapon, the higher is your mastery level, and the more mods are available for you.

The mod system aims to increase the amount of time a weapon stays up to date. Thus, you will receive new weapons that can be improved over time. It will take some time to get the best combination of legendary and unique mods and, thus, to boost weapons to the ideal.

In addition, we continue to balance the item level up speed in PvP and PvE. We have increased the overall amount of experience gained in PvP, as, now, items level up much faster in PvE. We will closely monitor your feedback and various indicators. If necessary, we will change the item progression speed in the future.

[h3]Mod Inventory[/h3]
All mods available for a weapon model can be obtained by playing and increasing your mastery. Once you have unlocked mods, they will drop in your Inventory, where you can improve them with parts or install them on weapons before the fight.

There are two types of mods: upgradable and unique. Accordingly, the first type of mods can be improved, but the second one cannot. In addition, upgradable mods are highlighted in a certain colour in the Inventory: for example, a regular mod has a white slot, an epic mod has a purple slot, and a legendary mod has a gold slot.

Mod Inventory


You cannot use two unique mods at the same time — you can only install one unique and two regular ones.

[h3]Arsenal Expansion[/h3]
The list of modifiable weapons remained the same with the addition of a few older models. Among them are: AK-47, Fabarm P.S.S. 10, Remington 870 RAS, SR-2 Veresk, M40A5 and the Desert Eagle. The possibility to install mods (including unique ones that were designed specifically for those models) made these weapons worthy contendants to challenge the latest novelties. So, for example, by using a particular set of mods, you can bring the combat efficiency of the M40A5 sniper rifle close to that of the AWP as it would have similar specs and the chance to one-tap opponents even in the best gear.



In the future, we plan to periodically expand this list with other popular weapons as well as new models designed specifically with the mod-system in mind.

[h3]Older Models[/h3]
Now, almost all mods for guns from the old Vendor system have no negative effects, which would make them even more powerful.

They will be less competitive than the newer models; however, the time to upgrade the guns of this category will be significantly reduced compared to the models specifically designed for the system.

[h3]Customization Items[/h3]
So, imagine you have upgraded your gun to the top level. What next? You get special items to show off your mastery! The set includes a charm with a miniature weapon model, a unique stripe, and a camo. Below, you will find a demonstration of a few of them.

Camos

Charms

Stripes


[h3]Acquiring Parts[/h3]
At the moment, parts for creating mods can only be obtained through a special contract or by advancing through the weapon's progression. There will be new ways of getting those parts — you will be able to get a certain amount of them in the next Battle Pass. In addition, in the future, parts might become available as special offers in the game shop.

[h3]Future Plans[/h3]
The work on making mods better does not stop here — some changes and tweaks are planned up until the end of the year.

• Passive item upgrading. Some guns will be gradually upgraded if they are equipped but not used in battle. This will allow the player to not spend the entirety of their playtime with a gun to level it up.
  
• New loadout models. The list of modifiable weapons will be expanded with truly legendary models. Which ones? Learn more in future publications!
  
• Strafe speed mod. We were carefully monitoring your reactions to the previous publication and, according to most players, this mod spoils the gaming process. The developer team is looking into the issue and will share the details later.
  

We will pay close attention to your customizations and feedback and, if needed, will balance the mod system by making them weaker or stronger.

How do you like the new system? Share your thoughts in the comments! If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments as well, we will address them in future publications.

Soldiers!

A couple of months ago, we got a massively upvoted request from you in our #pc_suggestions_and_feedback_channel in the official Discord server to bring back particular weapon models. We could not add them to the game store as we did not want to confuse newcomers with older guns. But we managed to find a solution and give you a chance to get some of the requested items for free, for just playing the game!

So we are launching a new season of our TOP GUN event — the one where you can get one or even four permanent guns for free! Get yourself competitive weapons: Beretta ARX 160, MAG-7, CZ Scorpion Evo3 A1 or Steyr Scout by completing a PvP or PvE task daily! The event ends on September 17.
