Tactical Equipment

A small setback for fans of tactical equipment - it has been temporarily disabled. But don't worry, it will surely be back soon!

Aston Martin

All fans of the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster can breathe a sigh of relief. The issue where the vehicle would tip or feel awkward in certain areas has been fixed.

World: Miramar

There have also been some adjustments on Miramar. Some highland areas have been modified to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage from extremely elevated positions.

Modes

There are changes to the modes! The TPP mode has been added while the FPP mode has been removed. Additionally, in the Bluebomb Rush mode, you can now change the shop button assignment.

Progressive Weapon Skin System

Chroma Skins are now available! With them, you can modify the color and effects of your progressive weapon skins, allowing you to express your personal style.

Bug Fixes

Of course, there have also been some bug fixes. General gameplay issues have been resolved, as well as more specific issues with the Miramar map. So what are you waiting for?
