      • Refusing to participate in the game, or going AFK.
      • Intentionally losing or throwing the game.

[h2]Bug Fixes and Improvements[/h2]

  • [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] Each client can now store up to 99 replays
  • [Replays] Due to internal code changes, any replays that were saved before the update will no longer be viewable
  • Client Stability and Optimization

[Added November 06]
  • Corrected a bug that allowed players who were close to bulletproof glass to be attacked from the other side.
  • [Troll Protection] Killing a teammate in Search and Destroy Hardcore mode will cause you to take damage.

[Added November 08]

[h2]Party 'Team Separation' Option[/h2]


    Many users have frequently requested the ability to play online with parties of more than 3 players, and the development team has been contemplating this topic for a long time.

    Balancing issues can arise when dealing with well-organized 3-5 man parties, and due to this the team has decided to introduce an option which provides benefits to a party when they turn on the option to be split onto different teams.

    Party Leaders can now choose whether or not their party members can or cannot be placed on different teams when joining a match.



[h2]Bug Fixes and Improvements[/h2]
  • [Lobby] Maximum FPS is now limited to 60 in the Lobby screen.
  • [Custom Lobby] Added an option to automatically give the lobby a 5 character password when creating a new lobby.
  • [Bullets] Automatic weapons originally displayed a trail for every 3rd bullet fired. This has now been changed to every bullet fired. Additionally, the bullet animation was sped up to reduce the visual discrepancy between the bullets animation and the hit registering.
