Vortex Gaming

· The 'Recon Quick Play' mode has been added to DMZ, allowing for faster and more intense battles on Serpent Island.
· The 'Hydro Strike' mode has been added to regular multiplayer. This is a casual mode focused on fun, featuring sliding acceleration, instant skill recharge, and the use of water gun skin purifiers.

· Through a collaboration with 'Pop Team Epic', various items such as cartoon-style character skins, AK-47, and baseball bat skins can be obtained via events and vaults.
· The 'Nier Automata' collaboration has returned, offering another chance to acquire popular items like the baseball bat skin.
· The melee weapon 'TНo', previously an exclusive paid roulette item, is now available for free to all players as an event reward.
· A new seasonal camouflage (camo) is added with the 'Secret Stash' event. This camo features a very cool design, similar to the shiny jacket of a previous roulette character, and is expected to be very popular.

· This season's new weapon is the 'MX Guardian', an automatic 12-gauge shotgun.
· It boasts a very high fire rate and is expected to be overwhelmingly powerful in close-quarters combat.
· The magazine capacity is fixed at 15 rounds and cannot be extended, but it is powerful enough to be highly effective in Battle Royale mode.

· A new support class, 'Tactical Mirror', has been added to Battle Royale.
· This class acts as a 'Copy Station', scanning all loot dropped nearby, such as weapons, armor, armor plates, and grenades, to create duplicates.
· It is especially useful in squad play. When a teammate respawns, you can copy the weapon build of a surviving teammate to quickly replenish their power.
· It has a very wide scan range, but items must be on the ground when the skill is activated, and its durability is low, making it easily destructible.

· New animations (crawling while reloading, pseudo-leaning, sliding) have been added to PKM and SPR20, but there are criticisms about the slow update pace.

Category	Details
SPR20	· Fire rate increased by 110ms · Reload speed increased · Assessment: Gameplay becomes more dynamic and enjoyable
PKM	· Accuracy decreased · Reload time significantly increased · Assessment: Nerfed for two consecutive seasons. While gameplay feels slower and disappointing, it still maintains lethal performance, making positioning crucial.
Kilo 141	· Nerf: Bullet accuracy decreased, popular attachments (Olof Fire Suppressor, Aitek Stock) nerfed (increased flinch when hit, increased run-to-fire delay) · Buff (with Full Auto Perk): Accuracy increased, abdomen and leg damage increased · Result: The nerf is not significantly felt, maintaining a 4-shot kill at 50m in full-auto mode and improving long-range efficiency.
Lachmann	· Accuracy improved · Reload speed increased · Bullet velocity issue fixed (actual bullet velocity, which was lower than indicated, improved) · Assessment: Becomes more powerful as an assault rifle
Groza	· Significant range buff: Segment 1 +7m, Segment 2 +13m · Abdomen damage multiplier increased · Problem: Long-range efficiency still limited due to high recoil
Tundra	· Aiming speed decreased by 25ms · Impact: Felt by fast sniper players, but no significant impact on overall performance
Others (SO, SVA, DVL, UELK, Cordite)	· Slight buff (notable changes, maintains existing position)

· This season's Battle Pass is generally of very high quality.
· The two character skins, 'Misty' and 'Polina', are particularly excellent. Misty has a clean design, and Polina is well-regarded as a military skin.
· Among the weapon skins, the USS stands out with a good scope and epic skin design, while the Kilo 13 has a plain appearance but a good scope.
· The Level 50 reward shotgun skin is excellent in both appearance and scope, making it one of the highlights of this Battle Pass.
