[h3]New Content[/h3]

• Added New Weapon "VAHAN"
  The VAHAN is an assault rifle of Soviet/Armenian origin and was designed by Engineer and Firearms Designer Vahan S. Manasian. The weapon dates back to 1952 as the MBC-2 when Manasian was a soldier in the Soviet Army. As of 2009, The VAHAN rifle has not yet been tested by the Armenian government.
  
  
  
  
• Added New Map "Icebreaker"
  A Cargoplane from the USA crashed in Russian territory. It's your task as the USE to defend the cargo from the resistance!
  
  
  
  

[h3]Quality of Life Improvements[/h3]

• Construction Site Rework
  In version 2.0, we reworked the map Construction Site, and at the time it got released, we were happy with the design we came up with, but after a bit of time, we decided to solve some of the design flaws we found. You and your team fight for a construction site where the USE placed a military base to push back the resistance who captured the town a few weeks prior.
  
  
  
  
• Area314 Rework
  For the Area314 rework, we decided to change the visual style of the map. It now has a much darker and colder tone. We also fixed some flaws regarding cover and unfair advantage points.
  
  
  
  
• Skyscraper Lighting Changes
  Since the release of the map Skyscraper, we had some problems with the quality of the Lightmaps. We now reworked the lighting for some of the areas and improved the quality of the reflections.
  
  
  
  
• Hideout Temporary Removed
  While we already reworked a lot of maps, we want to bring "Hideout" to the same standard as the other maps, so we decided to remove "Hideout" temporarily from the map pool. Hideout will get re-released later in 2022.
  
  
  
  
• Hitmarker Visual Improvements
  In update 2.2, we also looked at things like the Hitmaker and thought that we can still make some improvements there. So in order to make the Hitmaker more satisfying, we made him a little bit more dynamic.
  
  
  
  
• Killfeed Improvements
  We found that the abrupt Killfeed is not really up to our usual standards, so we added a dynamic fade to it, to make it look nicer.
  
  
  
  
• TDM & DOM (Team) UI Improvements
  We found it really hard to see in what team you are in modes like Domination or Team Deathmatch, so we updated the UI for a better understanding.
  
  
  
  
• Other smaller changes
  
  
  • Added boots on the ground ;)
    
  • Added End-Screen Chat
    
  • New Killstreak Icons
    
  • New Nuke Effect (+ Nuke Post Processing)
    
  • Improved Minimap (& Removed Flag Icons from it)
    
  • Improved the Weapon Materials
    
  • Improved Round Start (Game Mode Announcer)
    
  • Improved Round Start Countdown UI
    
  • Improved Reflections on all maps
    
  • Improved Player Model Customisation view
    
  • Increased Level cap to 50
    
  • Reduced Airstrike Screenshake
    
  • Reduced Frag Screenshake
    
  • Removed Player Voices
    
  
  
  
• Bug Fixes
  Of course, in update 2.2, we also fixed a few bugs that got reported since the last patch. If you find some, feel free to join our Discord Server to tell us!
  
  
  • Syring Icon has the wrong scale in some menus & HUD
    
  • Players & Bots can shoot and walk through the Ammo box
    
  • Fixed Weapon Descriptions

[h2]Engine Changes[/h2]

• Changed Unity version to 2021.1
  We've updated our engine version from Unity 2020.3 to unity 2021.1 to get more features out of the current URP.
  
  

[h2]New Content[/h2]

• Added New Weapon "UMP"
  The UMP was designed in the 1990s by Heckler & Koch, as a cheaper, lighter alternative to the MP5, which made heavy use of polymers. The UMP first entered production in 2000 and is now playable in Vengeance!
  
  
  
  

[h2]Quality of Life Improvements[/h2]

• Added a Better Round End Screen transition
  We thought the way the matches end is way too hard of a cut, so we added a new fade to every ending round.
  
  
  
  
• Added Killstreak Tracker
  You now have a way to see how many kills you are away from every killstreak.
  
  
  
  
• Changed Medal Design
  We thought that it is hard to identify what every medal stands for because of that we changed them. They should also fit with our current art direction.
  
  
  
  
• Changed Level Icons
  We thought the old red level icons weren't fitting for the current art direction we are aiming for and because of that, we changed them.
  
  
  
  
• Changed Gun Game Logic
  You now need two kills per gun and the round ends after reaching the time limit.
  You also get random attachments on every weapon now!
  
  
• Changed Scopes for AKM, AKs
  Some of the weapon scopes were blocked by the iron sight so we changed some of the scopes to fix that.
  
  
• Changed Frag Behavior
  We felt that the frag grenades were a bit too bouncy so we reduced the bounciness and changed a few other values.
  
  
• Changed some objects on Raid
  We found out that some of the models used for the map Raid are very unoptimized so we replaced them.
  
  
• Improved Famas Ironsight
  We found out that players have problems with the current Famas Ironsight because of that, we gave the Famas a new one.
