FragPunk March 26th Update Announcement: New Content for Season 4 Chapter 2

[p]Dear Lancers:[/p][p]FragPunk is scheduled for a maintenance update on March 26th at 10:00 AM (UTC+8), with an estimated downtime of about 3 hours. We're excited to bring you the new content included in this chapter update![/p][p][/p][h2]Mode and Maps[/h2][h3]Outbreak[/h3]

• [p]New Parasite — Knossos.[/p]
  • [p]He was once a battle-hardened alien general from rumors of the Yong Shard, but his true form is a special Parasite accidentally infected after a great war. Knossos can charge forward with \[Bulldozer], knocking away enemies in his path like a battering ram that tears open defense. He can also plant the war banner on his back with \[Fighting Spirit], granting damage reduction and increased movement speed to allies who pass nearby. Even more terrifying is his passive \[Uprising]—when a teammate benefiting from the banner is attacked, \[Fighting Spirit] can be cast faster, allowing the banner to rekindle fighting spirit more frequently. Now, rumors of the “Parasite General” are spreading in the shadows along with a new wave of infection.[/p]
