Summary of the April Update Preview

1. Operation Content Update

A. Addition of the Operation System

- Addition of the Operation Pass

We are adding a system to commemorate the time invested by all Mercenaries who love AVA, and to provide achievements and rewards for that time.

We hope this will serve as a motivation for enjoyable game play, allowing everyone to remember the time they spent together during the operation period.

The Operation Pass will be provided in two phases, the first and second halves, and will be applied in 2-month cycles.

The first half allows players to reach up to Level 200, while the second half is scheduled to open up to Level 400.

After analyzing play data from previous seasons, we confirmed that certain achievements are being reached faster than expected.

To align with the flow of time, the experience points per level for this operation will be adjusted.

However, please keep in mind that we will ensure the flow of levels is not interrupted. In addition, we plan to introduce a new quest system to earn Pass Levels.

Please note that we will provide a structure where you can easily level up by utilizing and clearing all weekly quests.

Furthermore, Mercenaries who reach Level 400 will be rewarded with a permanent SE303T Recurve Bow, a new weapon for Operation Passes.

The Operation Pass is provided for those who consistently love AVA, and we are not considering it as a paid model.

- Addition of Operation Achievements

This content is provided to motivate those who have completed the Operation Pass.

Please note that this is designed to provide additional rewards for achieving achievements while playing the game consistently.

We hope you achieve all achievements and engrave memories of your time with AVA.

B. Addition of Operation Maps

- 101

Demolition Map

This is a battlefield set against an urban backdrop centered around the fictional Tower 101.

It is a dedicated Demolition Map, and we ask that you look forward to a combat zone infused with AVA's new color palette.

C. Addition of Operation Special Weapons

- Windburst Grenade (Throwable Weapon)

It can be equipped via the special weapon slot and is usable by all classes.

When thrown at a location where a smoke grenade is present, it provides the effect of dispelling the smoke.

It can inflict splash damage to the surrounding area the moment it explodes.

For the sustained smoke type, it may disappear and reappear depending on the duration of the smoke.

D. Addition of New Operation Weapons

- SE303T Recurve Bow
