Weapon Mastery Rewards Update

The system of earning cosmetic rewards has been revamped. Mastery-exclusive camouflages will now truly reflect your dedication to a weapon—they can only be earned, not purchased.

What’s changing?

For weapons released from September 2024 onward, as well as future additions, achievements, camouflages, and charms will no longer be part of mastery level rewards. Instead, you will receive weapon upgrade parts.

Upon reaching weapon mastery level 60, a special contract will become available. Completing it will grant you an exclusive camouflage that cannot be obtained with Kredits or real money—only through skill and perseverance.

Any rewards you have already earned will remain in your inventory—nothing will be lost!

Quick Ping System

A new quick ping system has been added to make team communication more efficient. Previously, players had no way to quickly warn teammates about threats during a match—text and voice chat were not always fast or convenient enough.

Now, quick pings allow for basic coordination without voice chat and also speed up callouts for teams using voice communication. By default, you can access the ping menu by holding the Z key.

Prologue for New Players

New players are now required to complete the "Prologue" mission right after character creation as part of their introduction to the game. As a result, the following changes were made to the mission:

• Replaced the SED by a Rifleman armed with the Kord 5.45.
