M82B

“M82B is currently a bit too easy to find on the map, especially in the early game. We are going to reduce the drop rate a bit so players will have to put in more effort in order to find this piece of firearm.”
Reduced the drop rate of M82B in all maps.
M4A1
Available in Classic & Clash Squad.
“The M4 has been underperforming due to its above-average recoil and a slower rate of fire. We will be giving the M4 a bit more power and range so it can a bit more competitive. After the patch, the M4 should feel a bit more stable and reliable in the medium to long-range.”

Rate of Fire: +5%
Effective Range: +12.5%
Max Recoil: -14%
P90
Available in Classic & Clash Squad.
“Even after the buff last patch, the performance of the P90 was still a bit underwhelming compared to the other SMGs. We’re increasing the P90’s damage output slightly in exchange for its Magazine extension slot. With these changes, players should feel the extra kick in the P90 with its signature 50 rounds magazine.”
Damage: 23->24
Recoil: -11%
Advanced Weapons
Replaced with Advanced Attachments.
“Since we’ve released the Advanced Attachments, we’ve been monitoring closely on the performance of each weapon with their unique attachment. Even though weapons with advanced attachments perform decently well, they’re unreliable because finding the Advanced Attachments are too much of a hassle. We’re replacing the Advanced Attachments with Advanced Weapons so players can enjoy the power of these rare drops without needing to look for the attachments.”
Advanced weapons will now spawn in random locations on the map.
Training Grounds

Music Arcade is now available inside the training grounds.
Dynamic Lighting: The lighting of the Training Grounds will adjust based on real-time lighting.
Gameplay

“The electric surfboard is currently a bit too mobile for opponents to counterplay. We’re slowing its speed and adding some cooldowns to reduce the gap closing power of the surfboard. Players should no longer see others flying across the map with the surfboard after the update.”
The surfboard will now be unequipped upon taking damage.
Added cooldowns for:
- Activating the surfboard
- Speed Boost
- Jumping
