Vortex Gaming

· This Season 10 update introduces a new limited-time 5v5 game mode called 'Dragon's Call'. This mode implements the dragon concept that was mentioned early in development, and it's expected to offer players a fresh experience.
· Additionally, there's a new wheel event called 'Scales of Fate' offering a chance to win various prizes. A new DLC and store update have also been released.
· A Twitch Drops event is also underway, where you can get free rewards by linking your Twitch and Embark accounts and watching for 4 hours.

· Smoke Bomb (Vanishing Bomb): Duration reduced from 6 seconds to 5 seconds, and cooldown increased by 4 seconds. This is expected to ease the Heavy-Light meta and reduce the frequency of Double-Light compositions.
· Spawn System: The minimum spawn distance from enemies when using coins has increased by about 20%, which is expected to reduce spawn kill situations.
· Ranked System: The rank distribution for the Calibrated League has been adjusted, so players will be more evenly distributed across various ranks.
· Goo Gun: The time it takes to destroy the Goo Gun when overlapping with a player has been halved. This will make stalling tactics using the Goo Gun more difficult, but players will adapt to the new strategy.

· Reaver Shockwave: The Shockwave, which had low usage rates after previous nerfs, has been improved. This should encourage players to utilize the Shockwave again.
· Akimbo: Spread has been slightly buffed, allowing for more stable shooting than before. Akimbo remains popular, but its performance was considered somewhat lacking compared to other heavy weapons.
· Chimera: Range (minimum and maximum) and zoom have been nerfed. This is expected to reduce the meta impact of the Chimera, which was very popular in North America.
· KS23: The trigger delay for pump action has been adjusted, reducing the possibility of shot delay due to misfires. This should help ensure consistent firing speed for the KS23.

· KS23, M26 Mass Driver, Model 1887: Adjustments to the trigger delay for these pump-action weapons suggest that their actual RPM (rounds per minute) might be faster than previously known. This raises the possibility that measurement values were inaccurate due to human operational errors and is expected to improve the consistency of weapon usage.
· M11: Range has been nerfed.
· Spear: It has been changed so that the spinning attack can hit more targets. This will improve the Spear's close-combat performance and resolve the inconvenience caused by previous hit limitations.
· V9S: Magazine capacity has been nerfed. This seems like a reasonable adjustment considering the V9S's strong performance.

· Although several nerfs have been applied to the Light class in this patch, the Medium class has also seen its value decrease due to the Chimera nerf. Overall, the Medium class is still showing weakness, and there are opinions that it needs further buffs.
· In the Light class, with the nerfs to the V9S and M11, the 93R is expected to be the strongest option. The ARN or LH1 may still be useful on long-range maps.
· The overall meta is expected to undergo some changes away from the Heavy-Light composition, with the nerfs to the Light class being prominent.

· This update includes numerous bug fixes and stability improvements. While no specific details were mentioned, it seems the focus was on enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
