Echoes of Valor Seasonal Update Change Log

Game Improvements

Progression Improvements

PvE

• The reward system for checkpoints in Special Operations has been changed; you now need to complete all checkpoints in a mission to receive the full amount of experience for the run.
• The amount of experience and weapon mastery gained in PvE missions has been significantly increased.

PvP

• Experience rewards across modes have been rebalanced, rewards are now more evenly distributed and less dependent on the selected mode. Experience gained in Ranked has been slightly increased, as well as in event modes (within active events).

Weapon Progression

• Added the ability to continue upgrading weapons infinitely after reaching level 100. Each progression level requires 51,300 XP, and reaching each new level grants 40 parts.
• Improved navigation in the mods and weapon mastery window, making it easier to jump to the required weapon progression level to skip.

UI Enhancements

The winter seasonal update is coming this December, bringing various UI improvements for the Player Info, Weapon Mastery Screen, Player Lobby, as well as the TAB and Esc menus. These changes are designed to help you find information faster and adjust game settings to your liking. Our goal is to constantly improve your gaming experience and make the interface as friendly as possible.

You can learn more about interface improvements in the following article.

Content Changes
