Off The Grid - Kill The Feed Update

[h2]New Features:[/h2][p][/p][h3]Narrative Missions -[/h3][p]This update marks the beginning of our journey into the heart of Neil Blomkamp's world building with the introduction of the "Kill the Feed" Prologue.[/p][p]We're integrating the story directly into the core gameplay loop through a series of interconnected missions. These missions are designed to be played across your matches, offering a new layer of meta-progression that better explains the game's lore and expands the Off The Grid universe.[/p][p]For those of you who enjoy diving deep into the backstory, these campaign missions offer a compelling new reason to jump into the arena. You now have an alternative motivation that goes beyond being the best hunter on the Island. Regardless of where you ultimately place in a match, every game played contributes to your progress through the campaign, ensuring you always have a satisfying sense of advancement and a deeper connection to the world.[/p][h3]
Dodge: A Core Mobility Upgrade - [/h3][p]Every player is receiving a massive upgrade to their mobility with the introduction of the new Core Ability: Dodge. Players can now execute an instant Dodge in any horizontal direction, both on the ground and in mid-air, utilising three regenerating charges. This feature is designed to ensure all players always have dynamic movement options in any situation, making combat significantly more fluid and responsive. The Dodge provides a universal, weaker version of the mobility found in specialised Cyberlimbs, which means movement limbs will be less mandatory in high-level play. The Dodge acts as an instant burst, distinct from the Roadrunner's gradual speed-up style, and can be easily chained into other moves like slides and jumps. [/p][p][/p][h3]New Cyberlimb: PainKilla Healing Drone - [/h3][p]Support players gain a powerful new tool with the introduction of our new Cyberlimb, PainKilla. This is a brand new arm that summons a Healing Drone. Once deployed, the drone scans the area and locks into position, activating an immediate Area of Effect (AoE) healing field, indicated by a green glow. All allies within this radius, including the player, gradually receive continuous health and armor restoration per second. Most critically, any knocked-down allies within the AoE will be automatically revived. The drone remains active for its set duration (e.g., 15–27 seconds depending on rarity), dramatically improving tactical support capabilities.[/p][p][/p][h3]Career Progression - [/h3][p]The game's progression and content structure are expanding significantly. Players can now earn permanent OTG Achievements, with completion granting a Badge that can be displayed on your profile card (up to three can be showcased). The Battle Pass is now Linear, guaranteeing a reward at every single level, and an 'infinite' track has been added after Level 100 for continuous rewards; the Battle Pass can now also be purchased separately from the subscription. [/p][p][/p][h3]New Content -[/h3][h3]LeBobo Content Pack[/h3][p]Stitched from bargain-bin plush and carcinogenic stuffing. The grin's painted on with toxic resin, the fur's soft in the way asbestos used to be 'soft.' Le Bobo hugs like cancer, cuddles like rot - and the only comfort he offers is knowing your blood will soak into the fabric faster than sweat.

🧸 - Full Body Lebobo Skin
🔫 - New Partisan Variant

[p]Fixed some vertical offsets with Third Person ADS cameras when Scopes were attached to weapons.[/p]

[p]Zone of Mayhem:[/p][p]In an effort to bring close-range weapons such as Sidearms, Shotguns and SMGs more viability in more situations, we have adjusted their ranges and damage drop-off distances and damage reduction percentages which should result in these weapons being more viable between short and mid-range encounters. These amounts vary by weapon family and weapon class but should result in shorter range weapons feeling less like their damage just evaporates past certain distances, as well as making them feel more usable in more locations.[/p][h3]Weapon Balancing:[/h3][p]Assault Rifle Recoil:[/p][p]To bring back some of the feeling of weapon class identity, Assault Rifle Recoil has undergone changes to their None-Uniform Recoil. For ARs specifically, their recoil has been inverted, which means that the shots earlier in the magazine are closer together and become more erratic and difficult to control the longer you shoot. This should result in ARs being more usable at longer ranges.[/p][p]Attachments:[/p][p]Based on the AR Recoil changes above, all AR Lightweight Barrels have had their recoil penalties reduced:[/p]
