Classic Mode Updates

Introducing a handy repair item for battle: the Spare Tire! No need to abandon your vehicle anymore just because it has a busted tire! With the ability to make emergency repairs and the Pillar UAZ's super armor, enemy bullets will never touch you! Or, fire from the driver's seat with one hand and break through when you're surrounded! Firearm performance has always been a top priority. The new Heavy Stock attachment offers reduced recoil at the cost of slower aiming speed, giving you yet another tactical option.

●   New Item: Portable Med Pack

✧ Gain the ability to heal teammates using Bandages, First Aid Kits, and Med Kits. You'll also heal teammates faster.

●   New Weapon: Sticky Bomb

✧ Deals high damage in a wide range. It can stick to any wall or vehicle surface, and explodes after a countdown.

●   New Weapon Attachment: Heavy Stock

✧ A new stock attachment with the same weapon compatibility as the Tact Stock.

✧ It significantly reduces horizontal and vertical recoil, making it suited for sustained fire. However, the trade-off is that it also decreases aiming speed.

●   New Item: Spare Tire

✧ Use it near a vehicle with a damaged tire to swap it out.

●   New Vehicle: Pillar UAZ

✧ Only available in Rondo.

✧ Equipped with dense window guards and sturdy tires. More durable than the average UAZ.

✧ You cannot fire from within it due to the guarded windows.

●   Gameplay Update: Driver's Seat Firing

✧ You can now fire one-handed firearms while driving motorcycles. The vehicle will keep moving at a consistent speed while doing so.

✧ Vehicles that support this: 2-Seat Motorcycle, Sidecar Motorcycle, Scooter, Bicycle, 2-Seat Bike.

Arena Updates

Gameplay Update

✧ Both players must be at Lv. 10 or higher to 1v1. These matches don't give EXP or BP rewards.

✧ Challenge a teammate to a 1v1 from the Lobby.

✧ If the other player accepts, a 1v1 will take place on the Arena - Warehouse map. You can edit your loadout before the match begins and every time you respawn.

✧ When a player is eliminated, both will respawn at the spawn point. The first to score 5 eliminations wins.

✧ Improved transitions and visual effects at the end of matches.

✧ A Team Ready animation will play at the start of some Arena Mode matches.

● Vehicles - Explosion Feedback: When a vehicle is destroyed, there will be a small initial explosion, followed by the main damaging explosion a few seconds later.
