What’s New:

Durability feature for melee weapons

The “Durability” feature is introduced for melee weapons. We will continue to extend this feature and fine-tune the ‘durability’ levels, while also adding a repair option in the near future.

Explosive Charge Placements:

Players can now throw small and large explosive charges onto walls from a distance, similar to the satchel charge mechanic in other games. This replaces the previous method of directly placing C4 on walls, adding a new layer of strategy and skill to breaching tactics.

Added a second exit to the submarine

Previously, the submarine had only one exit, making it easy to camp. A second exit has been introduced to improve balance and reduce camping.

Improved NPC AI

NPCs now attempt to take cover behind walls, crates, and other objects instead of standing still or running unpredictably.

Scope Sensitivity Options

A new sensitivity setting has been added specifically for scoped weapons. Players can now fine-tune their mouse sensitivity separately for collimator sights and 4x scopes, allowing for more precise aiming customization.

In-Game Steam Ban Feature

Administrators and Moderators can now issue Steam game bans directly from the in-game admin panel.

Enhanced Player Marker System

The team marker system has been overhauled to reduce confusion:
Players can now place one group-visible marker using Ctrl + Left Mouse Button
Each player can set up to 5 personal markers
Team leaders have the ability to remove group markers placed by other team members

General improvements:

Implemented some visual fixes and general optimization
