Version Update Announcement 2026/04/16
[Striker Adjustments]
ALONDRA
We’ve found that Alondra’s performance is a bit too dominant in the current environment. First, her jetpack lets her change direction midair multiple times at a very low cost, making it extremely frustrating for opponents to aim at her. Second, the slow effect from her Electric Arc Capture Device is currently too lethal, leaving hit players almost no chance to survive through movement alone. At the same time, we’ve also made some basic feel improvements. The final adjustments are as follows:
1. Jetpack: Maximum mid-air activation count (with full fuel) adjusted from 5 to 3; time before fuel starts regenerating extended from 2 seconds to 8 seconds; fuel regeneration per second reduced from 25% to 20%.
2. Electric Arc Capture Device: Slow effect range reduced from 50%–90% to 30%–70%.
3. Feel optimization: Improved ALONDRA’s airtime and jetpack handling so her flight feels closer to how it did when ALONDRA was first released.
[Search and Destroy Mode Is Now Live]
The brand-new casual Search and Destroy gameplay Mode will launch on April 18
1. Players will take on the role of either attackers or defenders, and win by planting and detonating the C4 bomb, or by defusing it!
2. The Search and Destroy gameplay will introduce an all-new shop and economy system. At the same time, players will start with less Default HP, so watch your positioning!
【Weapon Adjustments】
We’ve noticed that the QBZ-95 and M1887 perform very well on PC, but are harder to use on mobile. Therefore, we’ve decided to increase the Aim Assist coefficient for these two weapons on mobile, making it easier for players to get the hang of these powerful guns.

[Universal Badge Now Available]
Thank you for loving the exclusive rewards from the Stamp Collection event.

After the update, you’ll be able to purchase a limited number of Universal Badges on the Stamp Collection Rewards screen.
