Match Updates
Trap Master Rework
Before the rework, Trap Master’s triggering range displays as a straight line, making it difficult to use in outdoor combat. Once the trap is triggered it deals damage immediately, leaving the players with lack of counterplay.
After the rework, the Trap Master’s triggering range now displays as a sphere. Enemies entering the sphere will be slowed. Being inside the sphere for a period of time will trigger the trap causing it to deal explosive damage. Players can disassemble the trap to cancel movement debuff and prevent the explosion.

NEW WEAPONS
MAC-10
The MAC-10 is an SMG with a rapid firing rate and maneuverability. Its simple and reliable structure gives it unparalleled mobility, allowing players to gain an advantage in close combat. The MAC-10 has a lower bullet velocity and accuracy compared to other SMGs, but its continuous combat capabilities can be greatly enhanced when it is equipped with a large-capacity drum.
AK47: New Signature Attachment
A new signature attachment for AK47: GRU Combo Grip, is added. This signature attachment will reduce vertical & horizontal recoil and bullet spread, thereby increasing effective range.
BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS
Multiplayer
SP-R 208
SP-R 208 is a marksman rifle that has a great field of vision and can destroy the enemy with a single shot even from afar. In some close to medium combat scenarios, it appears to be too fault-tolerant. Therefore, we shifted part of the one-shot damage from the abdomen to the hand area. This change requires a higher accuracy for players to take out enemies with one on-hand shot.
Abdominal Damage Multiplier: Decreased
Hand Damage Multiplier: Increased
HVK-30
HVK-30 is an assault rifle that lacks mobility. We have improved its range damage frame and long-range TTK to retain the positioning of medium to long range rifles. HVK-30’s long-range attenuation of large-caliber ammos is also adjusted to improve mobility.
Base:
Range Damage Frame: Adjusted
Chest/Upper Arm Damage Multiplier: Increased
Large-Caliber Ammos:
Range: Adjusted
Damage: Adjusted
M4
With excellent stability, M4 has been a popular assault rifle that helps new players adapt into the game. However, the actual TTK of M4 performs at an unsatisfactory level for players transitioning into more intense competitive matches. Therefore, we have increased the areas where the M4 deals a high multiplier of damage, and slightly improved its mobility and stability.
Hand Damage Multiplier: Increased
Chest/Upper Arm Damage Multiplier: Increased
Empty Reload Time: Decreased
ADS Time: Decreased
Bullet Spread: Decreased
Peacekeeper MK2
Peacekeeper MK2 is an assault rifle that requires high mechanics. However, the controls of Peacekeeper MK2 appear to be too difficult, making it hard for players to utilize it. Therefore, previously, we adjusted its recoil and lowered its handling difficulties but it still wasn’t competitive enough. With the additional adjustments in this release, we hope Peacekeeper MK2 can truly reach its maximum potential.
First Range: Increased
Chest/Upper Arm Damage Multiplier: Increased
FR .556
FR .556’s strong vertical recoil and diminishing damage multiplier to the leg area provide uncertain results when players are calculating damage dealt on eliminating enemies. Therefore, we decreased its vertical recoil and increased its damage multiplier on the leg area to stabilize its performance.
Vertical Recoil: Adjusted
Leg Damage Multiplier: Increased
ICR-1
ICR-1 is an assault rifle with high mobility and stability designed for beginners. However, it has not been as popular of a choice as we anticipated. Therefore, we have strengthened its overall range dominance to allow stable performance within the range advantage of the rifle. We have also appropriately increased the damage multiplier on certain areas to make up for the shortcomings of TTK.
Base Damage: Increased
Shooting Range: Adjusted
Head Damage Multiplier: Increased
JAK-12
Stacking of Disable Perk: Reduced
Explosive Mag Slowing Effect: Reduced
CR-56 AMAX
CR-56 AMAX is an assault rifle with a relatively large spread to offset its stable trajectory and long-distance suppression capability. However, a larger spread will have a greater impact when going against targets behind covers at close to medium combats. Therefore, we have decreased CR-56’s base spread.
Base Spread: Reduced
Kilo 141
In the last patch, the Kilo 141 was a powerful weapon that excelled both as a medium and long range weapon with no downsides in terms of mobility. To balance this, we have adjusted the stats of some of the attachments accordingly.
Extended Mag:
Movement Speed: Decreased
Reload Time: Increased
Large Extended Mag:
Movement Speed: Decreased
Reload Time: Increased
OWC Marksman:
Movement Speed: Decreased
Katana
Max Damage Distance: Decreased
Effective Damage Judgment Time: Decreased
Score streaks
Chopper Gunner
Bullet Damage Range: Increased
Bullet Damage: Slightly increased
Orbital Laser
Combat Duration: Reduced
Maximum Travel Distance: Slightly reduced
K9 Unit
Maximum Health: Reduced
Movement Speed: Slightly reduced
