Dear Fireflies!
[Lost Light] is scheduled for a server update at 02:00 (UTC) on December 1st, 2022. The estimated duration is 2 hours. Your game experience will be affected during the update. We recommend waiting until the update is complete. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause! Please restart the client after the update to check out the new content. Then, we will send a small gift to your mailbox for your troubles.
Update content
1. Targeted Serum has been added to the Hidden Smuggling section of the Store, with a price of 400 LP.
Collect 3 flasks of the Targeted Serum to overcome the Pheromone Outbreak (gain immunity to the Data Wipe).
2. Changes to the Firefly Assembly event rules.
The maximum number of players that can be invited has been changed from 5 to 20.
3. Added the ability to put a mark on an enemy after they made an attack. Now, if you are attacked, it will be easier to locate the enemy.
4. Added a notification of a kill assist. When a teammate knocks out an opponent, the corresponding notification will be displayed on the screen.
Optimizations
1. Improved laser mechanics. Now, there will be a small scatter of bullets when firing during actions, such as pose changes, side strafing, jumping, etc. Previously, the bullets spread at the active laser distance was fixed at zero.

3. Special evacuation points have been added to the Mt. Akiyama and Windswept Harbor locations, which have a random probability of occurring in each operation.
4. Changed the distance of the siren sound during evacuation. Now you can hear the siren only in the immediate proximity of the evacuation point.
5. Increased the number of resources spawning in the areas of the Lake house and the Resort Village on the Mount Akiyama location.
6. Adjusted the damage of some bullets.
7. Corrected the coefficient of damage reduction with distance for some weapons.
8. Marauders with automatic weapons will now fire single bursts if the target is a long distance away.

11. Improved the effect on the HUD when taking armor damage.
Bug Fixes
1. Fixed a bug in the field of view display while ADS, which could occur on some weapons with a receiver.
