[/p][h2]Prestige Season[/h2][p]In the new Prestige season, you will be able to earn achievements, parts, boosters, and four golden weapons: the HK433, Winchester SXP, Honey Badger, and McMillan CS5.

The atmosphere of tension is amplified by overcast weather and thick fog.[/p][p]Your primary objective is to rescue General Wharton at any cost. You will face a coordinated assault as part of the "Delta" squad, as well as a solo mission playing as Wharton himself in the Campaign mode. Complete the operation as a team by storming fortified positions, and then brave the secret tunnels alone to confront the traitor in a decisive showdown.[/p][p]The locations are varied: an assault on a rocky shoreline guarded by high walls and checkpoints, close-quarters combat in narrow cobblestone streets, intense firefights on a bridge, infiltration into grim catacombs beneath the base and encounters with their eerie inhabitants, and finally, a climactic battle at the heart of the stronghold against a unique boss.[/p][p]The operation is filled with numerous Easter eggs and hidden achievements for the most observant and persistent players. Find them all! [/p][h3]New Event[/h3][p]Winter has arrived — the season of magic and wonder. Feel the spirit of celebration and joy in the New Year in-game event! Take part in seasonal activities, earn event currency, and exchange it for various rewards, including weapon card drops for the new weapon series: M249 Para, Fabarm XLR5 Prestige, Micro-Roni, and CheyTac M200, as well as the Ultramarine Knife. In addition to shop items, you can also earn guaranteed rewards — a set of achievements granted for completing the event’s weekly contracts.[/p][p]PvP[/p][p]PvP-mode is a team-based battle enhanced with power-ups that can instantly shift the tide of combat! This time, the following power-ups will be available: Juggernaut, Grenadier, Pyromaniac, Ninja, Gunslinger, and Robot. Battles will take place on the "Trailer Park," "Forest," and festive "Factory" maps.[/p][p]PvE[/p][p]For completing special operations on any difficulty, you will earn event currency in addition to crowns. The amount of currency you can receive is unlimited — event currency is now awarded for every completion.[/p][p]Key Changes[/p][p]The core mechanics of the event remain the same, but this time several new features have been added, including:[/p]

• [p]event duration — 4 weeks instead of the usual three;[/p]
• [p]the ability to purchase camouflages from the new weapon series in the event shop — useful if you already own the weapon featured on the showcase. The camouflages are significantly cheaper than the weapon itself.[/p]

[h3]ASh-12[/h3][p]A large-caliber assault rifle developed by TsKIB SOO. It has been in service with Russian special forces units since 2011. The round fired from this weapon has a very high stopping power, which — combined with limited penetration capability and a short "danger zone" — helps minimize collateral damage. A wide selection of available ammunition types allows the rifle to be used effectively for various tactical tasks in close-quarters combat.[/p][p][/p][p]In the game, the ASh-12 is a classic heavy assault rifle with a high headshot multiplier, strong base damage, and solid range that can be increased even further with mods. Its perfect accuracy while aiming is balanced by moderate hip-fire accuracy, a relatively small magazine, and noticeable recoil. In the hands of a skilled Rifleman, it becomes a truly formidable weapon![/p][h3]Agent Lance Ridder: Rifleman[/h3][p]Meet the new agent — Lance Ridder. Even in his youth, he dreamed of serving in the military, hoping to escape the poverty he grew up in. Lance joined the army as soon as he could and achieved remarkable success thanks to his determination. Eventually, he became part of an elite garrison guarding the fortress island...[/p][p][/p][p]The agent is equipped with a heavy assault rifle, the ASh-12 in the "Pursuit" camouflage, and is ready to face any challenge on his path![/p][h3]Other[/h3][p]A golden version of the Kel-Tec KSG has been added.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]Content Changes[/h2][h3]Interface[/h3][p]Player Profile Interface Improvements[/p][p]We received a lot of feedback and suggestions regarding further improvements to the profile interface and have made several changes.[/p]

• [p]You can now view PvP and PvE statistics separately. When viewing PvP data, you can access detailed stats for specific modes: Ranked Matches, Quick Play, and Events. PvE statistics now provide more detailed information about PvE missions and special operations across different difficulty levels.[/p]
• [p]The number of achievements obtained is now displayed.[/p]
• [p]Added overall statistics across all PvP modes.[/p]

[p]ESC Menu[/p][p]Changes also affected the menu opened by pressing the ESC key. It has become more convenient and functional. When you open it, you immediately see all important information: the timer until the end of the match, the current vote (if there is one), and the class selection menu. Quick settings are also available — you can adjust mouse sensitivity, general volume, and switch between windowed and fullscreen modes. In addition, the interface for voting to pause or surrender the match has been reworked.[/p][p]Match Statistics Window[/p][p]Information during a match or a difficult mission is extremely important, so we have reworked the window that opens when pressing the TAB key to make it more useful and informative.[/p]

• [p]PvP version:[/p]
  • [p]The displayed information has been updated: it now depends on the current game mode.[/p]
  • [p]The order of additional character information has been adjusted to make it clearer and more convenient.[/p]
  • [p]You can mute voice and notifications from individual players.[/p]
  • [p]The player list display has been reworked.[/p]
  • [p]The map display has been improved.[/p]
• [p]PvE version:[/p]
  • [p]Improved display of additional mission objectives and operation score points.[/p]
  • [p]Reworked the player list display for missions and special operations.[/p]
  • [p]You can mute voice and notifications from individual players.[/p]
  • [p]The map display has been improved.[/p]

[p]In any game mode (PvE or PvP), you can now interact with any player directly from this window. By clicking on a player's row, a context menu will appear, allowing you to view their profile, add or remove them as a friend, report the player, or initiate a vote to kick them. You can also adjust volume settings in this window.[/p][p]Room Interface[/p][p]The screens for joining private rooms have been reworked for both PvE and PvP. Interface elements are now arranged more clearly and harmoniously, and all essential room information is immediately accessible to players.[/p][h3]Weapon Mastery Contracts[/h3][p]In the spring season "Thunder in Paradise," changes were introduced to weapon mastery rewards. A special contract was added, allowing players to obtain a unique camouflage. We want such rewards to be valuable to players — a sign of mastery and dedication to a specific weapon. For this reason, they cannot be too easy to obtain. However, after analyzing in-game statistics and player feedback, we realized that the system needs improvement.[/p][p]What changes can you expect in weapon contracts?[/p]

• [p]We will make them more accessible, as many players noted the high difficulty of completing the contract and asked for easier conditions.[/p]
• [p]We will make them more convenient and user-friendly, as the current implementation had navigation and interface issues.[/p]
• [p]We will also perform internal optimization so that the system works correctly and does not create unnecessary load.[/p]

[p]It will take time to complete all planned improvements, so current weapon contracts will be disabled for the winter season. Their completion requirements will not change, and they will return in the spring with an updated interface and a new technical implementation. All your current progress will be saved — you will not lose anything.[/p][p]As for new weapons, starting from the winter season, contract requirements will be simplified — the camouflage will be awarded for reaching 200 mastery level with the weapon. Please note that this value is not final and may be adjusted based on testing results. The interface for these contracts will also be updated — they will be located in the weapon progression screen.[/p][h3]Weapon Balance[/h3]

• [p]The M249 Para, Fabarm XLR5 Prestige, Micro-Roni, and S&W M&P R8 have received stat improvements to bring them up to the level of currently relevant models in the weapon meta. Time to test them in battle![/p]
