Vortex Gaming

· When you run while holding a pickaxe, your stamina won't be consumed infinitely. It's a good habit to draw your pickaxe and increase your movement speed when it's safe.
· Now, you can detach from your glider at a certain altitude and freefall. This allows you to land more accurately at your desired spot, or if you get close to the ground, you can detach the glider and attempt a roll landing to reduce fall damage. Landing in water or large bushes will prevent fall damage.

Landing Method	Effect
Landing in Water/Bush	No fall damage
Roll Landing	Minimized fall damage (requires practice)

· In Zero Build mode, you receive a starting pistol, but its low damage, slow fire rate, and inaccurate aiming make it difficult to gain a significant advantage in early engagements. You only get one magazine of ammo, so it's not advisable to force combat solely with this pistol.
· Use the starting pistol as a secondary weapon, but it's best to avoid early engagements as much as possible. Killing with just one magazine is not guaranteed, so focus on securing other weapons.

· The Tracer Pistol switches to a first-person perspective, which might feel awkward compared to the usual third-person combat, but it's highly valuable as a mobility item.
· While the pistol is equipped, pressing the jump button allows you to dash, which can completely negate fall damage or be chained with sliding for rapid movement. It can also be used to break enemy cover or distract them, making it useful in team fights.
· The dash function only recharges while the pistol is equipped, so it's important to always carry it so you can use it when needed.

· Overwatch Chests found throughout the map contain special Overwatch-themed items (e.g., Overcharged Pulse Rifle, Kinetic Blade, Guardian Shield). If you prefer these items, it's best to prioritize farming areas with many Overwatch Chests.
· Additionally, Overwatch Dropships that spawn at helipads offer a large amount of weapons and armor (including barrels), making them a good landing spot with relatively less competition.

· Pocket items added to Zero Build mode are assigned to the 'Mode Change' key binding, so you need to check your settings and reconfigure them to use them.
· Shockwave Grenade: With a 30-second cooldown, it's effective for destroying structures, ambushing enemies, or flushing them out of cover.
· Shield Bubble: With a 40-second cooldown, it's more advantageous in team fights than solo play and can be used on vehicles to ensure safety while moving.
· Med-Mist: With a 35-second cooldown, it's useful for healing the entire team and can be combined with other healing items for rapid recovery of both health and shields.

· Mercy's Staff can heal multiple teammates simultaneously, and using it with Med-Mists allows for even faster recovery.
· Furthermore, equipping the staff smooths out aerial movement, helping maintain momentum or avoid fall damage when combined with mobility items.

· The existing Porta Bunkers have been replaced with Brick Bunkers, and you can carry up to two. These bunkers can be stacked on top of each other, making it advantageous to secure high ground or trap enemies below.
· You can also use bunkers to destroy enemy cover or walls to push in, or trap enemies underneath them to create advantageous situations in Zero Build mode.

· The Overcharged Pulse Rifle, obtainable from Overwatch Chests, has been nerfed from a fire rate of 8 to 7, reducing its DPS. This weapon has poor accuracy at long ranges and limited utility in aerial combat, making it harder to use than before.

· Tracer Pistols can be randomly sold at Rival Boards, so if you're having trouble finding one, check the Rival Boards.
· Additionally, you can purchase Shockwave Grenades from the 'Healing' section of the Rival Board, obtaining four at once. This greatly helps with mobility.

· Flowberry Mist doesn't drop from regular loot but can be purchased from vending machines. This item rapidly restores both health and shields for the entire team, making it extremely useful in team fights. It's especially effective when used in conjunction with Mercy's Staff.
