MODES

MAP

Rebirth Island Adjustments

Overall Updates

• We’ve increased the amount of loot in less visited areas to encourage players to explore the island.

• We’ve added plenty of cover in hotspots where players usually get killed to give them a chance to fight back.

New Features

• Enviornmental improvements
  • A new skybox – We’re still delivering the bright and sunny afternoon sky that is beloved by the community, but with a few twists : Drastic sun orientation update to change the shapes of the shadows throughout the map, and also added stormy/dramatic clouds on the horizon.
  • New lighting & atmosphere – We’ve doubled down on the bright and vibrant color treatment globally, and also updated the atmospheric fog to match the new skybox.
  • New signage & murals.

• Redeploy Balloons have arrived on Rebirth but with a few twists; destroyed by default, less health, and between 0-4 balloons active at the same time.

• Gulag Revamp: The mid-section of the Gulag has been modified to create more exciting engagements for Iron Trials.

Security Area becomesStronghold

The Security Area is now known as Stronghold following Perseus’s reinforcement project. Stronghold features two new structures – the administrative building and the radar building (replacing the communications tower). Expect to find plenty of items for close combat engagements.

Shore becomesDock

The previously empty Shore has now become Dock. With an anchored cargo ship now present, climb aboard via the extended concrete helipad and discover the loot inside.

Prison Yard

The Prison Yard has been partially reinforced and the construction materials can be used as cover or as platforms for jumping onto the guard wall walkways. The repainted water tower with Persus’s flags looms in the distance.

Boat Docked at Nova 6 Factory

A second cargo ship has arrived at the Nova 6 Factory. Explore the ship for items and Supply Boxes but avoid falling into the water – it could be dangerous!

UI/UX

WEAPONS

New Weapons

• Armaguerra 43 (VG)
  • Very high rate-of-fire SMG. Effective at short to medium range engagements.

Weapon Adjustments

» Ammunition «

• Hollow Point
  • Damage Range now decreased by 20%

Hollow Point has been heavily leaned on by Submachine Guns and with good reason. Its previous damage range penalty would rarely affect the most common engagement distances. This adjustment to the ammunition results in a powerful tool, you’ll just have to get a little closer.

Our ongoing goal with ammunition is to provide options and move away from a singular choice that’s “good for any occasion”.

» Barrel «

• 3-Line Rifle (VG)
  • 500mm MN Custom
    • Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit
• Kar98k (VG)
  • VDD 660mm 05HE
    • Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit
• Type 100 (VG)
  • Warubachi 134mm Rapid
    • Visual Recoil decreased
• Type 99 (VG)
  • Shiraishi 712mm Sniper
    • Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit
• Welgun (VG)
  • 320mm SA Shrouded
    • Recoil Control decreased from 36% to 15%

» Magazine «

• Einhorn Revolving (VG)
  • 16 Gauge 12 Round Cylinder
    • Magazine Capacity increased from 7 to 12
    • Reload Speed increased slightly
  • Birdshot 6 Round Cylinder
    • Reload Speed increased slightly

• Welgun (VG)
  • .45 48 Round Mags
    • Visual Recoil decreased
  • 7.62 Gorenko 40 Round Mags
    • Fire Rate increased from 11% to 12%
    • Maximum Damage decreased from 30 to 29
    • Mid Damage decreased from 26 to 25
    • Min Damage decreased from 21 to 20
    • Recoil Control decreased from 22% to 16%

The Gorenko 40 Round Mags was simply providing far too much value and was overdue for an adjustment. This still leaves the Welgun in a very strong position despite the change to this particular Magazine.

» Perk «

  • Hardscope
    • Recoil Control decreased

» Rear Grip «

• Sniper Rifles
  • Airborne Elastic Wrap (BOCW)
    • Flinch Resistance now properly reduces camera pitch when hit
