[Hot Zone] A brand new permanent team mode is here! In this mode, players compete for control of hot zones on [Lockdown Island] or [Wild Canyon]. Capture zones or eliminate enemies to score points; the first team to reach the target score wins. New Advanced Hot Zones have been added, offering extra capture rewards. Hot zone locations will rotate over time, so be sure to move to the next safe zone in time. [Hot Zone] mode has also been added to Custom Rooms—invite your friends and fight for the top spot!

We will continue to optimize other Strikers. We found Kraken's blinding and healing effects exceeded expectations, so we are making the following adjustments: 1. Blind duration: 3s->2s; Lv3 blind duration bonus: 100%->50%. 2. Vortex blind launch delay: 0.5s->1s. 3. If there is an obstacle between the target and the crow, the crow will not trigger the blind launch. 4. Soul Hunt healing effect: 45->30; skill cooldown reduction: 20%->15%. [Arms Race Optimization] 1. We noticed players want to compete with friends in [Arms Race], so [Squad Matchmaking] is now available. Note: Squads are only for matchmaking; players enter the same match but compete individually. Go challenge your friends! 2. We noticed it's hard to locate the top-ranked player to counter them. Now, when the leader has a significant lead, they will be marked on the map. Use melee to steal their level and take the lead! 3. To optimize the competitive experience, the max level in [Arms Race] has been increased from 20 to 21. Players who get a Golden Dagger kill will promote to the new level 21, distinguishing them from other level 20 players. Good luck! [Supply Updates] 1.
