New Content
In-game event "Winter Fiesta"
"Winter Fiesta" is a large-scale festive in-game event that is similar to the recently finished "Prison Break" with minor changes. It has familiar mechanics and minor gameplay changes.
- Now PvP only. In the winter season, you will fight only in PvP on themed maps which got specially updated for the holidays. They are Xmas Hangar, Xmas Oil Depot and Krampus Town. Below, we will tell you in more detail about the changes in the familiar locations. There is no snow yet, but we managed to persuade cyborgs to decorate them for Christmas and put Christmas trees.
- Three main rewards instead of one. Play, open crates and accumulate progress of the primary rewards - their rarity increases as you gather the necessary points. Let the coveted weapons in the armoury contribute to the festive spirit!
- Reworked the gain of "Black Market" points in PvP. The reward will depend more on the player's score and their place in the team. The more effective the player is, and the higher their position in the match table, the more Black Market coins they will receive at the end of the session. Please note: on average, high performing players will receive a bit more currency than before. Those who show average results will hardly notice the changes; the points will remain the same. But the number of gained points will decrease for those who are usually not that effective.
Learn more about "Winter Fiesta" in a separate publication. In the meantime, let us recall what rewards await you in the event. They were added to the game in the first part of the season "Snowstorm".
OTS-14 GROZA
The OTs-14 Groza is a new gun for Riflemen that you have been asking for for so long! The assault rifle offers impressive specs: high basic and minimum damage, excellent shooting accuracy, fast reloading and increased limb multipliers. The weapon comes equipped with unique attachments - a handle and a silencer that does not reduce damage. All this puts the novelty on a par with your favourite guns AK-15 Custom and M4A1 Custom.
In addition, the weapon can be improved with mods. With their help, you can customize the arm to suit your own combat needs, boosting the required specs at the expense of less significant ones.
The golden version has a larger magazine and increased ammunition as well as yields a unique stripe for eliminating opponents.
"CRYSTAL" SERIES
The weapon frames are decorated with an interesting pattern that will remind you of an snowstorm - the main theme of the new season. Along with an attractive appearance, the guns will retain decent characteristics. The series includes weapons and camouflages for the Grand Power SR9A2 and the Karambit.
Other Rewards
By participating in the new event, you can earn a set of themed weapon charms and achievements. Moreover, in the event, you can get weapons of the "Valkyrie" series, the "Valkyrie" skin, cards for crafting the "Glacier" arms as well as various themed items from the previous years. Open the event crates to get your hands on all the rewards!
Updated Festive Maps
We continue to improve the looks of the well-familiar maps. This time you can enjoy playing on redesigned Krampus Town, improved Xmas Oil Depot and last year's version of Xmas Hangar. We've tweaked their appearance, lighting, and improved textures.
We've reworked the familiar map Krampus Town to make landscapes more festive and cheerful. Snow, fairy lights, gifts, fireworks - now, the spirit of Christmas has become even stronger on the map. Hurry up to be the first to get the vibe of the upcoming holidays! But be on the lookout, hiding behind the Christmas tree, someone might want to spoil Christmas ...
Other
- Added stripes for the new weapon series "Crystal".
- Added festive contracts.
Content Changes
Tweaks to certain models
"Snowstorm" Gear
Upon reviewing the first part of the update, we decided to revise some equipment characteristics by increasing the number of character movement bonuses. In the feedback, you pointed out that the gear was cool in terms of damage absorption but not mobile enough, which is especially important in dynamic PvP battles. Now the fighter equipped with the complete "Snowstorm" set has become a little faster at the expense of damage absorption specs. Despite the changes, the armour remains effective, and you should definitely try and get it in contracts for Warface Dollars.
