Thank you to those of you who provided constructive feedback and valuable input.

LEVEL GATING & DOUBLE XP

levelgating.jpg

  • Game modes can be set to require a certain player level before access is granted
  • Game modes can now have new Double-XP events from time to time
  • Ad XP boost multiplier has been reduced to x0.25 to balance XP gains.

Developer’s comments

We intend to guide new players to familiarize themselves with the core mechanics one game mode at a time. We have also created us an ability to host XP boost events. It now takes multiple days to collect enough XP to meet the Ranked Competitive requirements. It will primarily impact bad actors from disrupting the matchmaking experience.

NEW DEFAULT KNIFE CONTENT

  • Refactored default knife content
  • Each knife model now has its default model available as default content
    • This will allow us to provide a clean experience going forward with new knife models
  • Default knifes are available with blue tokens for the price of 5000 credits
    • They can also be found from standard and premium cases

Developer’s comments

All the default knife models are available for everyone as Tier 6. It highlights these previously hidden options to all players and provides immediate access to them.

We are planning on providing new amazing knives in the future.

Developer’s comments

When it comes to maps it’s important to be able to see your enemies clearly. At the same time the actual visual fidelity in maps is important as well. That said: we have revised all maps to cater for better visibility and better graphics as well. As a bonus a few maps received even more updates, make sure to review the notes for each individual map to learn more.
