The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. Cuisine Royale is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.
 

Technical works have been completed.

The game may not available at the moment as we are experiencing some technical issues on our servers. We are endeavouring to fix these issues as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

A modernized version of the well known Kalashnikov assault rifle. Features new materials, a muzzle brake to help with recoil control and more precise shooting at greater distances. Like it’s predecessor the AKM, it can use scopes. The AK103 is a rare weapon and can only be found in orbital and tactical fridges.


A German SMG from the late 1930’s. Similar to the well known MP18, but features a cooling cover and has better iron sights and a higher rate of fire. Will be a good addition to the World War weapons collection.


The famous Italian tactical shotgun, supplied to police and special forces across the world. Very reliable, has a good rate of fire and shot dispersion cone. A must-have for any shotgun fan in the game!


The legendary modification of a Mauser pistol capable of full auto firing mode! Features a large 20-round magazine, comfort recoil and good iron sights - allowing you to deliver a fast series of headshots to enemies in close combat! Naturally, its rate of fire is much lower than SMG’s, but this side arm will still be a handy weapon to have ready for emergencies.


Especially for you, two new unique mystic rituals that change the very landscape of the battlefield and even bring an astronomical phenomena to the game!
Flood ritual (regular and catalyzed) allows the start of a massive flood which drowns large portions of the current battlefield under water for 1 minute. Water floods fast and takes some time to drain after the ritual is over, so you can start second one immediately to make water levels even higher!



Gives you an option to massively surprise enemies camping in houses and bunkers.



By the way, the oxygen tank now not only allows you to run longer, but also remain much longer underwater. Additionally, one of the vehicles can now swim as well, converting it to a low speed boat.



Ritual of Eclipse (regular and catalyzed) forces the sun to disappear for 1 minute, bringing sudden night. You can now mask your approach, flee from a difficult gunfight or just disorient enemies before attacking them. Also, flares and flashlights will now be more useful as well!

Signs for Camouflage Bush allow you to create a patch of bush to create cover or distraction. A great aid for tactical gardeners and snipers.

Two new masks - stylish sunglasses and a camouflage bandana will be added with a special bonus to lower the sinner soul price of champions’ special abilities.

Underwear and talisman collection now get the addition of six new items with the ability to discover and mark mystic traps set by players.


New practice mode and location will be added to the game. There you can find different weapons, scopes, ammo and grenades placed conveniently for your practice at tables in the shooting range. Behind them, in the field, we have placed many interactive mannequins, wearing different sets and combinations of armor. So, now you can practice aiming, recoil control and check damage delivered to different body parts with different protection.

Currently the shooting range features only the most common weapon models. Select the “Practice” game mode and enjoy!


Sport and tactical bags are also replacing unreliable medium and large shopping bags, adding to your carrying capacity and brutal outlook.

So, plan your new tactical moves and stay tuned for more news on the forthcoming update!

Survival masters of Cuisine Royale!

We have studied players’ feedback and decided to completely rework our League rating system. Our core goals are:

• To make the rating calculation more transparent and show the dependency of their key statistics (killings, average place in battles, the number of battles) and their position in the League;
  
• To ensure that not only survival skills affect rating position, but also overall combat efficiency and experience.
  

Starting from the new League season we are abolishing the Elo system, since it caused many questions from our players. The new formula of player rating will consist of three major metrics: win rating, kill rating and battle rating with different weight modifiers. Also, until a player plays a minimum number of battles in the League season, their stats for the difference in that amount will be considered to be minimal.

Win rating, the same as existing average relative place metric, will be calculated from the overall battle count and a place taken in each of them by the player or his team. Naturally, we will calculate into the formula the number of players in each battle to fairly judge each battle difficulty.

Kill rating will be calculated from the overall amount of enemies killed in the season and the number of battles played.

The battle rating is drawn from the overall number of battles played by the player.

As before, Leagues will be separated in Solo, Duo and Squad tables. And at the beginning of a new season players will be placed in the leagues according to their stats taken from the end of the previous season. If they didn’t play enough battles in the previous season, their allocated league will be downgraded. As, on this occasion, we are changing the system drastically, all player stats for the previous season will be wiped and you will start progress from the zero.

So, from now on we hope to see the most active and experienced players and squads in the top positions, will be worth learning from in mastering the art of a battle.
