In this article, we’ll explain what an OTS is and how to test the Industrial Zone map for Squad Battles, as well as outline the rewards for participation!
What is an OTS?
For those hearing about it for the first time: OTS stands for Open Test Server. Here, you gain access to early versions of major updates. Your task is to provide feedback to help us identify and fix issues before the final release.
On the OTS, your character will have the equipment they had at the moment they were added to the testing participant list.
Testing period
The OTS is now open and will remain so until December 29 inclusive.
Please note! This is a test server, and it may be stopped or restarted for changes.
What we're looking for on this OTS?
Currently, we want to know your opinion of the new Industrial Zone map for Squad Battles to make it engaging. We are counting on your feedback!
We ask that you approach any imperfections with understanding. Furthermore, we will monitor the OTS and support it until its completion.
Testing participants
Currently, only participants in Session Battles who have actively demonstrated themselves over the last month can participate in this OTS!
Players from the GLOBAL region, as well as those playing through the Steam client, will be able to participate in the testing.
Please note: the number of participants is limited to ensure stable server operation.
If you have OTS access and use the launcher from any region, the server will automatically appear in your download list.
For GLOBAL players, a unified server will be opened with the RU region. Unfortunately, players in the GLOBAL region may experience ping issues.
Important note!
In Steam, the beta version is available for download to everyone, even those who were not included on the participant list.
This could lead to a situation where you waste bandwidth downloading but are unable to participate in testing. To avoid this, we recommend using the EXBO Launcher to log into the test server, even if you usually play through Steam. Detailed instructions are available here.
To begin testing Industrial Zone via Steam, you must select participation in the available beta version within your settings.
How does the OTS for the new Industrial Zone map work?
The new map can be tested in Session Battles.
Only one Session Battle is available:
Mode: 30 vs. 30 players. Map: Industrial Zone. You can access it through Menu → Session Battles → Industrial Zone.
Additionally, a tournament on the new map Industrial Zone will be held on December 28 at 14:00 UTC. Registration opens at 2:00 UTC and closes at 13:30 UTC. Captures will begin at 14:00 UTC.
Unfortunately, due to technical issues, we are unable to transfer GLOBAL region subdivisions. However, registration for the tournament is possible if you join a subdivision on OTS.
OTS challenges and rewards
To obtain a reward, you must complete tasks in the Industrial Zone event hub tab.
Access to this section can be gained through a special interaction button within the game menu.
Rewards for successfully completed challenges will be sent to the main server and credited to the corresponding characters within 30 business days after the completion of the OTS.
