Ironsight News

Hello everyone, this is the Ironsight Team.

There are now 18 days left before the season ends on December 14, and we know everyone has been curious as to what the rewards are for this season!

Players who achieve a spot in the top 50 of the leaderboards will be awarded a spectacularly shiny, golden Kukri Skin, with users in the top 200 being eligible for the Px4-Storm skin.

Users who aren’t able to crack into the top 200 rankings won’t have their efforts wasted however, with all participants who participated actively throughout the season receiving a silver version of the Kukri weapon to honor their dedication.

Season 10 also includes an extremely rare reward, the Gold Helmet, with only two being given away this season. Continue reading below for more information, including images of the rewards, and how to win one of the two Gold Helmets!

The following information and rewards only apply to Ranked (Solo)
(Clan Wars, Duel, and any Ranked Event Modes are not eligible for these rewards.)

Hello everyone, this is the Ironsight Team

Server maintenance will take place on Wednesday, November 16th (KST).
Please make sure to disconnect from the servers in advance in order to avoid any issues.

Maintenance Schedule:
[KST] 14:00 ~ 15:00 November 16th

[h3]Ranked Mode Changes[/h3]

We have received a lot of feedback regarding Search and Destroy Hardcore following the start of the new ranked season. After conducting a survey it has been shown that the majority of users would rather Search and Destroy Classic instead of the Hardcore variant. As a result, the team has decided to change the game mode for Solo Ranked to Search and Destroy Classic, starting with this week’s update on the 16th.

The change of mode will have the following effects, with all other rules remaining as they were.

• Ranked Mode Change : Search and Destroy Hardcore → Search and Destroy Classic
  
• Friendly Fire is disabled
  
• Team Revival is disabled
  
• Each players ranked rating will remain unchanged

Be as creative as possible and make sure your screenshot stands out from all the other entrants! (And don’t forget to maximize your video option settings to ensure the screenshot is taken with the best quality!)
Tip: Use Alt + U to remove the HUD and take prettier screenshots!

After taking a screenshot in-game with your friends, upload it to the #screenshots channel in Ironsight’s Official Discord with the tag #screenshotcontest.

When making a submission, please be sure to include the following information:
• The callsign of every user who is present in the screenshot (Including the cameraman!)

[h3]Daily Rewards[/h3]



[h3]Season 10 Rewards[/h3]


[h3]Ranked Rules[/h3]


Users that partake in actions that violate basic game rules will automatically be excluded from receiving any rewards. This includes the use of glitches, bugs, map boosting, use of 3rd party programs and hacks, etc.

Such users will have their Season rating removed and will be suspended from the games services.

Punishable Activities
• Account sharing (For example, letting someone else play on your account in order to achieve a higher rank)
  
• Refusing to participate in the game, or going AFK.
  
• Intentionally losing or throwing the game.
  
• Alerting the enemy of you or your teammates position, or other information
  
• [The following rules apply to Clan Wars]
  • Moving to another clan with the intent/purpose of playing against your original clan.
    
  • Using alternate accounts under one clan in order to raise the score of another clan that you belong to.

[h2]Bug Fixes and Improvements[/h2]

• [Map] Rust has been removed from the Secure Point map pool
  
• [Female Custom Character] The Female Custom Character model and it's Custom parts have been modified to address a defect in the animations.
  
• [Options/Video] Added an option to adjust the FPS Cap in the lobby.
  
• [Options/Video] Added the option to choose between visually holding the weapon in your right or left hand. However, some text may not be mirrored correctly. To resolve this, additional textures would have to be used, and since this would waste resources the issue has not been remedied.
  
• [Weapon Animations] Special animations have been added to the Pink Killer AUG A3, Pink Killer MP5 A5, and Pink Killer M4 ACC-M.
  
• [Loadout] Items are now sorted alphabetically. (However, some items will still appear at the top of the list due to grade, being a recent purchase, etc)
  
• [Daily Missions] Daily mission reset time has been changed to 13:00 GMT +9 so that it happens during a less active time. Furthermore, time remaining until reset will now be displayed.
  
• [Shaders] Fixed an error that occurred with certain settings that made the outline shader on attachments and the HUD appear opaque.
  
• [Particle Effects] Reduced and removed some of the particle effects (explosion, smoke) that occurred when a robot was killed.
  
• [Reticle] Fixed an issue with the reticle’s positioning when transitioning between ADS and hipfire.
  
• [Parkour] When jumping through a window, you must press Forward + Jump at the same time to jump through it.
  
• [Drone] Escort Drone Balance Adjustments
  - Minimum Damage : Reduced from 8 → 5
  - Attack Speed: Reduced by 10%
  - Added the following text to the drones description: "Attack/Detection Range 25m". Also, the Drones attack will be cancelled if the distance to the target surpasses the maximum range.

• [Replays] Due to internal code changes, any replays that were saved before the update will no longer be viewable
