We are pleased to announce that we have installed a patch for #HiredOps.

List of changes:
In TC mode, the protection of the respawn zone ceases to apply to a player if he has gained a kill after a respawn.

Added kick conditions for inactivity:
- if a player does not respawn for longer than 40 seconds.
- if a player is respawned and has been in the respawn protection zone for longer than 40 seconds.

Performance has been improved and should be especially noticeable on weak PCs.

Shader quality setting has been added, try setting it to the average if you have a weak PC. Important - to apply the changes, you have to restart the game.

The range of barter items has been updated. Temporarily added Master Crate to barter.

IRONCLAD - fixed armor allocation per character.

AK-105, AK-74, AEK-971 - added option to install tactical devices.
9A91 - added option to install tactical devices, added mount for sights, expanded range of installed mods.

It will also include a refinement of the kick system for inactive player during the round, refinement of the revival point protection zones in the TC and TDS game modes, and fixes VIP armor when taking damage. Some other improvements and fixes. We will tell you more in detail later.
