II. Map Adjustment

• Adjusting the Contra Squad’s spawn point from the Bermuda map.

“We have noticed that the Clock Tower zone in the Contra Squad is extremely difficult for the team that comes up in the lower area. We are adjusting the spawn points for both teams to make this map more balanced game to ensure that the warehouse is in the center of the map.”

2. Battle Royale

I. Airdrop Vending Machine

• Available in Classic and Ranked mode.

“The vending machine has been an important feature in Battle Royale to gather gear and revive fallen teammates. With the Airdrop vending machine, you’ll be able to spend your FF coins in more places.”

II. Reborn Points

• HUD and UI display optimization.

III. Safety Zone Adjustment

• Increased game zone damage by 10%.

IV. Training Island

• Combat zone layout adjustment.

“The current combat zone layout is a bit complicated for combat training. We are removing some objects from the combat zone to make enemies more visible in this area.”

3. Character and Pets

I. Chrono

• Character skill adjustment.

“Even after the change, Tunado Shield proved to be a little too reliable compared to other active abilities. We’re adding some cooldown and reducing shield duration to ensure players use this ability at a high cost.”

“Couflage is currently a bit difficult to achieve because Wukong is moving at high speed. We’re slowing down movement speed a bit in this update so players have less mobility while cloaked.”

• Movement speed reduced by 20% when activated.

III. Andrew “The Fearless”

• Character skill adjustment.

“The Pack is very strong when the entire team is equipping this skill. We’re reducing damage reduction a bit so the weapons can still be effective against Awakened Andrew fully armored.”

We are introducing two armor enhancements in this patch to ensure players can further upgrade their armor when spend their time on withdrawals. Plus, more types of attachments will come in the near future!”

• Maximum damage: -25%

VI. P90

• Adjust the weapon’s attributes (Buff).

“Although the P90 is equipped with an oscilloscope, it currently does not perform well in the mid-range compared to other SMGS. We are giving the P90 a little more power with this patch to make it more reliable.”
