Patch Update #826 - Released 3rd April 2026

 

List of Changes:

• The "Hide your profile" setting is now enabled by default for all players.

  • (Note) You can change this setting in the Security section of the game settings.

• General Chat

  • Private messages can now only be sent to and received from friends.

    • (Note) The corresponding setting has been removed and this behavior cannot be changed.

  • Publicly addressing another player in chat no longer returns a message about that player's status (e.g., whether they are in battle or offline).

• Friend System

  • The friend list no longer shows which battle format a player is currently in.

    • (Note) This mechanic was originally designed for battle list and is now obsolete.

  • The friend system is now available starting from the rank of Master Corporal (Rank 5).

• Clans

  • The clan member list now only displays the names and roles of players in the clan.

    • (Note) Additional statistics, including the date of last activity, are only visible to clan members with the role of Veteran or higher.

  • Outgoing clan invitations now only show the invited player's nickname, without their detailed statistics.

  • The clan info screen no longer displays aggregated kill and assist statistics for clan members.

• Achievements have been added to the Steam version of the game.

List of Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where explosion damage was missing when firing at certain specific surfaces in battle.

• Fixed an issue where the shell ricochet mechanic dealt no damage after the first ricochet when using certain turret augments.

• Fixed an issue where the Shaft dealt arcade damage instead of sniper damage if the player remained scoped for longer than 5 seconds.

• Fixed an issue where the Ricochet dealt no self-damage when firing directly into a wall at a perpendicular angle.

• Fixed auto-scrolling in the garage to the equipped weapon.

• Fixed an issue where the rarity filter stopped working in the paints section.

Why no balance change?

Why no balance change?

because half of the game didn't even work properly

This feels like the opposite of a QoL update...

Also, I don't understand the profile privacy change. Right now, the few players that do end up clicking "Profile" are met with a 2018-era page that doesn't load properly half the time, hasn't had its design aligned with the rest of the game, and is missing a bunch of crucial features. After the update, opening this page will just show a hidden profile most of the time.

Why even keep the ratings site alive at all then? Either do a proper feature update or shut the whole thing down.
