Gameplay Features

• The clip capacity can be increased by Operator talents, talismans, and Operator DAVID's ability.
• The unique TUNGSTEN CORE mod increases the damage dealt by the last round in the burst by up to 50%.
• The rifle reloads one round at a time, and reloading can be interrupted at any moment.
• Aiming becomes faster as the magazine empties.

FACTORY Map Rework

In this update, we've reworked the FACTORY map for CONTROL mode to make battles more balanced and dynamic. The changes affect capture point locations, movement routes, and the layout of key areas, while preserving the map's recognizable look.

Developer's Comment:

The FACTORY map for CONTROL mode was the first map where capture points were placed asymmetrically as an experiment. In practice, this gave one team a geographical advantage that had a greater impact on match outcomes than individual player skill. As a result, one team had a high win rate.

We abandoned the experiment and aligned the capture points along a single axis, as on the other maps in CONTROL mode. In addition, the central conveyor belts disrupted attack and defense timings, while the excessive verticality of Point A created bottlenecks and gave players holding the high ground too much of an advantage.

What's Changed:

• Axis and timing adjustments. Distances and approaches to capture points have been standardized to align with the design principles of CONTROL mode. This eliminates the geographical advantage of either side and makes match outcomes depend more on team skill than on spawn location.
• Conveyor belts on the flanks. The conveyor belts have been removed from the central routes and relocated to the flanks, along the edges of the combat areas near the control points. The main routes are no longer blocked by tanks, preserving the pace of battles. However, the core mechanic remains unchanged: tanks on the flanks can still be used as temporary cover.
• Opposing conveyor belt directions. The tanks on the conveyor belts move in opposite directions to prevent either side from gaining a consistent positional advantage from the belts' movement.
• Reduced verticality at Point A. Excessive high-ground areas have been removed, and narrow routes have been widened. This expands the active combat area around the capture point and makes encounters more dynamic.
• More room in the center. Following the relocation of the conveyor belts, the central area of the map has been redesigned to support tactical play. This reduces the feeling of congestion and gives both sides more room to maneuver.
• "Spawn Trap" elimination. A door to the factory building has been opened on one team's side, providing an alternative exit from spawn and preventing the opposing team from trapping players at their spawn point.
• Sound design for the location. New environmental elements have been added to the map, enhancing the factory's atmosphere through sound effects.
