Triumph Event

A new event is now available! Take part in battles in the team-based Gun Game mode and earn valuable rewards: Sky Guard weapons and camouflages, a knife with a unique animation, golden weapons, and many other prizes! You can also obtain a commemorative achievement set by completing contracts.

New Shotgun: KS-23

A Soviet pump-action shotgun originally designed for riot control. It features a rotating bolt with four locking lugs and a tubular magazine holding three shells. Its rifled barrel provides exceptional range when using specialized ammunition such as rubber bullets, buckshot, or tear gas rounds. Thanks to its large 23 mm caliber, the KS-23 is considered one of the most powerful shotguns in history.

Challenge Mode

We’ve received over a thousand pieces of feedback regarding the new mode, and we’re very happy that you enjoyed it. At the same time, we carefully reviewed all feedback, including concerns about class balance. Together with our analytics team, we confirmed that the Sniper class was overperforming and that some weapons from other classes lacked effectiveness.

As a result, we’ve prepared a series of changes aimed at improving balance in Challenge mode.

  • Recoil reduced to compensate for the increased fire rate

Saiga Spike

  • Range increased to 10 (previously 9)

Uzi Pro

  • Rate of fire increased to 950 (previously 900)

  • Recoil reduced to compensate for the increased fire rate

Alpine

  • Aim-down-sight time increased to 320 ms (previously 220 ms)

  • Leg damage multiplier reduced to 0.9 (previously 1.4)
