Friends!

We are doing the final checks of the new seasonal update, and we need a little more time to complete them. The current Ranked Matches season will be prolonged until the "New Power" update gets installed on the game servers.

Tomorrow, on September 15, during maintenance, the timer until the end of the RM season will be reset to 12:00 UTC (14:00 CEST) on September 21. However, the end date is approximate meaning that the RM season can either end ahead of schedule or last a little longer.

[h3]THE CURRENT RM SEASON WILL BE PROLONGED TILL APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 21, AND WILL END WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW SEASONAL UPDATE.[/h3]

While the season is still on, there will be the same opportunities: to play, save currency and spend it in the RM store. We'll keep you updated, and very soon we will announce the date of the "New Power" update installation. Once the new update is released, the current Ranked Matches season will end and the new one will begin.

Thank you for understanding.

Friends!

A new season "New Power" will start in the game very soon. It will bring heaps of interesting content: a reworked mod system, new weapons, a new battle pass season with unique rewards, a new PvP map, an updated "Motel" map and much more! In this publication, we are sharing details of the key features of the season.

[h2]Modification System[/h2]
In one of the previous publications, we have talked about changes to the current mod system. They include the following tweaks: mods will be unlocked for time spent in the match; there will be new customisation bonuses for the accumulated progress; the level up system will be easier to use; and the assortment of modifiable weapons will be expanded with new models. So the progression will be linear, and it also applies to the "Spectre" gear: the mods will now unlock uppon reaching a certain level. So far there are no further changes to the gear.



[h2]Battle Pass "New Power"[/h2]
The new battle pass will bring you excellent rewards both for the progression as well as in the seasonal shop. For making progress in the "New Power" season, you can get competitive weapons from brand new series, gear from the "Graphite" set, parts for creating mods, customisation items, and the key novelty — the Molotov!

[h3]Molotov Cocktail[/h3]
The Molotov cocktail will soon appear in Warface. After the explosion, the fire covers a small area for several seconds while the enemy caught in it endures repeating damage. The Molotov is equipped into the same slot as the frag grenades — you can equip either a frag grenade or the novelty for battle.

[h3]"Neutron" and "Quantum" Series[/h3]
In the upcoming season of the battle pass, you will find two weapon series designed in a realistic military style.

The "Neutron" series includes: K&M Arms M17, AK-47, V3 TAC-13, Fabarm P.S.S.10, KH9-EX, SR-2 Veresk, AWP, Mauser Kar98k, H&K VP9 Match, Desert Eagle and the Hunting knife.


In the "Quantum" series, you can find the AN-94 Abakan, Kel-Tec KS7, PP-19-01 Vitjaz, SV-98, Buckled Lupara and a Stun baton.


[h2]Weapons[/h2]
[h3]Kel-Tec RDB-C[/h3]
The Kel-Tec RDB-C is a semiautomatic bull-pup rifle produced by Kel-Tec. It'll be possible to equip the novelty with modifications. We will share more details about the features and specs of this model in future publications.

[h3]"Aviator" Series[/h3]
A new weapon series will soon be available in the game. It is painted in military-style camo colours, the weapon frames are adorned with drawings and stickers in a retro style that will remind you of the best decades of the past century. The series includes the VEPR VPO-X3 and the Desert Tech MDRX.


[h2]PvP Maps[/h2]
[h3]"Bulwark" Map[/h3]
The intelligence has discovered a mysterious "Labyrinth" bunker deep in the forest. Fighters will have to go to the base and find out what "Labyrinth" is up to.


[h3]Reworked "Motel" Map[/h3]
In the "New power" season, you will find a rewoked version of "Motel", a beloved map for the "Free for All" mode. We have conciderably changed the looks of the map and made it more modern. Besides, the geometry has also been improved.



Power up and good luck!

Friends!

The new agent is already available in the game! Wei Li aka agent "Taishan" has joined the ranks of Medics. Wei Li is a medical professional with a passion for mountain climbing.

The agent is part of the "First Division" seasonal update. You can learn more about it in a dedicated publication.

Seasonal Promo Page

[h3]Details[/h3]

Wei Li was born and raised in China, in the mountains of the Sichuan Province. During his childhood, he became seriously interested in mountaineering and won several local and worldwide championships. Naturally, he also did his military service in the highlands, and after finishing his conscription service he continued serving on a contract basis. He then transferred to the assault unit of a Chinese PMC, where he served for another two years.

Wei Li's talents came to light during his military service when, after a severe earthquake, his unit was sent on rescue missions in isolated mountain villages. Wei was the only one who could get to the scene and single-handedly took out a dozen of civilians from under the rubble. He would later demonstrate knowledge about the mountains and his ability to pass through them that even the best trained special forces could not compare to him. During his relatively short military career, he completed many dangerous missions around the world, but eventually decided to retire and went to work at a rescue service. He works there to this day, saving climbers amateurs from stone traps and rescuing villages caught in avalanches.

But Wei's military past still clings on to him; he has been approached with tempting contracts and even threats. He was kidnapped twice, in the hopes that that would "encourage" him to return to his previous work. Of course, nothing ever came of it, and Wei kept escaping from the unlucky employers back to his home rescue station. But eventually he had to take up a weapon once again.

Watch the trailer to learn the agent's story:

[h3]Agent "Taishan" Set[/h3]

The agent set includes cool weapons from the "Avalanche" series: the V3 TAC-13, TEC-9 and Karambit. The novelties are already available in the game shop.



Here's good news for weapon charms collectors: you can find a new item in the agent pack - decorate your weapons with this brand new accessory!



The game now features special achievements for kills made with the new weapon models and unique achievements set in the agent's style. Destroy enemies with "Avalanche" weapons, earn thematic achievements and decorate your profile with them!

[h3]New Contracts[/h3]

We have added agent content contracts - complete tasks to get "Avalanche" weapons, a box with the Agent Taishan suit, unique achievements designed in the agent's style, an exclusive charm, and other useful items.

Friends!

A fresh update has been installed on the game servers. It includes a PvP map rotation in Quick Play, improvements to the matchmaking in Ranked Matches, the return of boost spots to the Modern maps as well as the new submachine gun KH9-EX. Read on to learn the details!

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.

List of Players from Previous Games

Added the possibility to view the list of players who participated with you in the previous matches. This will make it easy to find other users: view their profiles and statistics, add them to the friend list, invite them to a clan and play together.

Other

• Added additional metrics to matchmaking logging in Ranked Matches.
  
• Added an Esports achievement pack and a Goldwing HX Outdoors Trident.
  
• Added thematic content: the Grapnel Jagdkommando, a weapon charm and a set of achievements.
  
• Added a contract and a special box as a reward. The box includes "Fiesta" weapons.
  
• Added a set of temporary "Rock Solid" equipment.

[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!
