Added 4 new tropical island themed accessories and two vehicle appearances (mini-compact car and SUV)

Added a new weapon: the AK-15, this weapon has the same four attachment slots as the M4A1, combined with the deadly firepower provided by its 7.62mm ammunition. A fully kitted AK-15 will be an absolute beast! Can it dethrone the M4A1 and become the new king of ARs? Let's wait and see!
Increased the R870's pump speed and reduced the bullet spread
PKM can now be equipped with the following sights: Red dot, Holographic, and the 2X scope
VKS will no longer be found in airdrops; it will be spawned in the map
Increased the bolt pulling speed of VKS
Increased the speed to swap out SMGs and pistols
The Desert Eagle can now be equipped with the Red dot sight
Increased the damage of the Desert Eagle and its headshot damage multiplier (now, you can "one-deag" players equipped with the regular Helmet!)
Reduced the weight of 7.62mm ammunition
Improved the vision of the 2X/4X/8X scopes

Greatly improved the "Standard" option's Anti-aliasing effect, also making the graphics more stabilized, we recommend everyone to use the "Standard" Anti-aliasing option to experience a better graphics performance!

New option: "Enable 3D Audio Spatialization", this option enhances the sound positioning and helps the player to judge the position of opponents, including the distance, barriers between the characters, whether the opponent is upstairs or downstairs, etc. This option is especially helpful for the gunshot and footstep sounds of opponent players. (Please note that this option is turned off by default)
We recommend that you enable the HRTF sound processing option while using the 3D Audio Spatialization to achieve the best positioning sound effects

Optimized the loading speed of the lobby scene and lobby character display
Optimized the performance logic of special effects to reduce CPU usage
Optimized the memory usage of the client
Optimized the lag issue caused by loading large textures
Optimized memory usage of third-party character weapons and traversal equipment textures to reduce performance usage

Optimized the body proportions and hair effects of the Sylvia-Ghost character styles

Fixed an issue where the reload sound effect was played twice in some cases
Fixed an issue where the lobby background music- 08 could not be played
Fixed an issue where some item model remains on the map and could not be picked up
Fixed an issue where an incorrect BMX bike model flickered when starting to spectate a player riding the BMX bike
Fixed an issue where the weapon holding posture was incorrect after getting off the BMX bike in FPP mode
Fixed an issue where the Tactical Stock item name showed “(M4A1)”

Thanks for playing,
