[Update Preview]

[Summary of the October Update Preview]

1. Establishing a Healthy and Sustainable Shooting Environment

1) Improving Core Weapon Series and Operational Difficulty

As previously announced, we are launching our upgrade plan for the "base" (standard) weapon series.

Focusing on Operational Difficulty: Rather than simply increasing DPS (Damage Per Second), our primary objective is to refine the "operational difficulty" of each weapon. We aim to strike a balance between an intuitive shooting feel and weapon stability.

Phased and Continuous Updates: We will begin by adjusting the base weapon series for the Pointman and Rifleman classes. To ensure high quality, we plan to focus on 6–10 base weapons each operational quarter—a key long-term project that will continue through 2027. The upcoming October update will specifically feature 5 weapons from the Pointman series and 5 from the Rifleman series.

The base weapons included in the October update are as follows:

Pointman: Super V, Z95R, BB-2000, 870, VP5K

Rifleman: Hawk416 (includes an update to the sprint animation), X4A1, MA-47, X16A4, Groza

2) Armor Environment Optimization

Complete Armor System Overhaul: We plan to overhaul the armor system along with base weapon balance adjustments.

Armor performance will be adjusted for optimization, and the expected effects are as follows:

Expected Environmental Changes: Once armor performance is properly adjusted, weapon series with high armor penetration are expected to perform as intended.

Additionally, we will adjust the performance standards for weapons in each class to create a combat environment that further highlights the unique appeal of A.V.A.
