Hey, Redditors!

1. Item tooltip changed. It has become larger, more convenient and more informative. In the next updates we plan major changes to the equipment interface for operatives, changing the tooltip of items is a preparatory stage for these changes

2. Reduced the increase in the grenade throw range depending on the growth of the operative’s Strength, the base throw range has not been affected

3. Sniper rifles now have a significantly increased accuracy penalty at close range. The length of the distance remains the same: from 8 to 14 cells, depending on the rifle

4. The accuracy of machine guns, assault rifles, submachine guns and shotguns now has an additional bonus at close range, starting from a distance of 8 cells to the target, and at a distance of 1 cell the bonus is maximum

5. Each special offer now guarantee at least one high-level weapon or body armor

6. Changed the parameters of the automatic bans system for intentionally interrupting the loading of PvP battles. If more than 2 intentionally interrupted loads are recorded within 3 hours, then access to PvP is banned for 3 hours

7. Added new weapons and body armor. Some of the weapons and body armor now have improved versions with higher parameters, while the other part of the weapons has a greatly increased damage

8. High-tier weapons and body armor now have an equipment limit based on the rank of the operative. Ordinary operatives will no longer be able to use the most powerful weapons and armor. Fighters will be able to use relatively powerful equipment starting from the rank of "Ensign", and the best equipment - only from the rank of "Major" and higher

9. Module levels of the base now have an effect on operatives, increasing their stats in the battle

12. Fixed a bug in calculating the accuracy of the Offhand shot skill, subclass Gunslinger. It took into account the target's cover bonus and could be well below the displayed values. Now the skill always has a 75% chance of hitting at a distance of 15 cells, regardless of the position and parameters of the target

13. Fixed a bug in the calculation of the damage of the Volley skill. Previously, the skill caused excessive damage to the enemy's armor, now the damage has been adjusted to 5 (previously was 3). Despite the increase in damage numbers, in fact, Volley now deals significantly less damage to the enemy's armor, takes into account the "amortization" of the target and doesn’t have a penetrating effect
