  15. Hello everyone, Our standard weekly maintenance will be held this Wednesday (11/27) starting at 9 AM UTC. The game should be back up and running in 4 to 6 hours. Thank you for your patience during this period.
  16. Hello everyone, Our standard weekly maintenance will be held this Wednesday (11/20) starting at 9 AM UTC. The game should be back up and running in 6 to 10 hours. Patchnotes This weeks update ships a couple of balance changes as well as tweaks to certain time of days to decrease the brightness of the Skybox during those times. Skybox changes We have decreased the sun-light intensity during the following time of days to avoid cases in which the Sun could make the Skybox extremely bright. 5 AM 6 AM 9 AM 5 PM Weapon Balance STAR 556 'LCR' Health Damage per shot increased from 200 to 210. STAR 556 Health Damage per shot increased from 175 to 180. Reload time reduced from 2.8 to 2.4. Colby SNR Health Damage per shot increased from 334 to 370. Sprint delay decreased from 0.73s to 0.53s. Norsemen Accuracy at 10m improved from 33 to 32. Slightly reduced vertical and horizontal recoil. COBR-A Recovery delay decreased from 0.225s to 0.18s. FAR Maximum bloom reduced by 6%. ISSR-C 'Kingdom' Minimum damage range increased from 15m to 25m. Raptor 45 Reserve Ammo increased from 132 to 176. Joker SR-15 Carbine Accuracy at 10m improved from 24 to 22. RHD LS1 'Corsair' Reload time reduced from 0.7s to 0.5s. N-TEC 5 / Scoped N-TEC 5 / N-TEC 7 Jump modifier reduced from 30 to 18. Dev Note: In one of Little Orbit's earlier balancing efforts, we significantly reduced the accuracy of all N-TEC variants when jumping. This adjustment effectively addressed the overuse and effectiveness of jump shooting with the N-TEC, but it also made jumping with these weapons feel lackluster, even in close-range situations where it should remain a viable option. With this patch, we're bringing the jump modifier of all N-TEC variants back in line with other Assault Rifles, while still maintaining a noticeable drawback to account for the weapon's long-range capabilities. This adjustment is intended to be a modest improvement rather than a major buff. Combined with the other changes made to the N-TEC 5 over the years, this should ensure the weapon remains balanced and far from the dominant force it once was when jump shooting was overly effective. We'll closely monitor the N-TEC 5's performance following this change to ensure it doesn't overshadow other Assault Rifles, particularly those designed to excel at close range. Further adjustments will be made if necessary. Thank you for your patience during this period.

Read more about our plans moving forward in our dedicated news post.

  19. Hello everyone, Our standard weekly maintenance will be held this Wednesday (11/05) starting at 9 AM UTC. The game should be back up and running in 6 to 10 hours. Patchnotes With this weeks maintenance the Halloween celebrations are coming to an end! Thank you all for participating in this years festivities. Miscellaneous changes Disabled the Halloween 2024 in-game event. Added the S1-NA 'Frenzy' to the Joker Ticket store. All consumables now reduce your jump height by 80% when standing on them to prevent players from getting into unintended locations. Added the "Silencer - Reaper" modification which is exclusively used on the N-HVR 243-SD 'Reaper' Legendary. Added the "Piercing Prescision" modification which is exclusively used on the NCR-762 'Anubis' Adeen Legendary. Financial District The Needles - Broadway (Financial Block 5) Added an extra car spawner location. The Needles - Arts Center (Financial Block 8 ) Increased the distance between the two car spawning locations to make it so bigger cars do not occupy both spots. Moved both car spawning locations a little forward so bigger cars do not get stuck on geometry upon spawning. Jangma Square & Apartments Gas Station (Financial Block 17) Added an extra car spawner location. Increased the distance between the two existing car spawning locations to make it so bigger cars do not occupy both spots. Waterfront District Clearview Marina (Waterfront Block 5) Fixed an invisible wall extending into the gameplay area. Blades Recovery Unit (Waterfront Block 18) Increased the distance between the two car spawning locations to make it so bigger cars do not occupy both spots.

Trackside (Waterfront Block 34) Increased the distance between the two car spawning locations to make it so bigger cars do not occupy both spots.

Calle del Mar (Waterfront Block 36) Increased the distance between the two car spawning locations to make it so bigger cars do not occupy both spots. Moved both car spawning locations a little forward so bigger cars do not get stuck on geometry upon spawning. Weapon Balance NCR-762 'Anubis' Adeen Replaced its existing Crosshair modification with a new orange modification called "Piercing Precision" which provides the benefits and downsides of Hunting Sight 3 as well the ability to pierce up to two targets. Magazine Capacity increased from 9 to 12. Ammo Pool Capacity increased from 45 to 60. N-HVR 243-SD 'Reaper' Replaced its existing Sniper Silencer with "Sniper - Reaper" a new purple weapon silencer with the same effects. Dev Note: This opens up the ability to use Cooling Jacket which tends to be the go-to modification for the N-HVR 243. Colby M-1922 Reduced the recovery delay from 0.037s to 0.019s. Dev Note: This allows the Colby M-1922 to recover more of its accuracy between shots which should make the process of blooming out more gradual. DOW 'Thumper' Added an extra open modification slot. Ray Spread at 10m decreased from 90 to 80. The "Mechanical Choke" modification used on the DOW 'Thumper' now decreases rate of fire by 20% (was 50%) Showstopper Damage per pellet increased from 42 to 44. Ray Spread at 10m decreased from 90 to 80. RFP/RFP-SD Effective Range increased from 35 meters to 40 meters. CAP-40 'Sergeant' Added an extra open modification slot.

  21. Hello everyone, Our standard weekly maintenance will be held this Wednesday (10/30) starting at 9 AM UTC. The game should be back up and running in 8 to 10 hours. Halloween Sale Reminder Don’t miss out on spooktacular savings! Our Halloween sale is in full swing, but it won’t last forever! Shop exclusive bundles, wicked weapons, and more while they’re still available. Stock up on treats before it’s too late! For more information on what items are part of this sale please check out our dedicated news post. Patchnotes This weeks patch focuses on small improvements to Epidemic as well as more weapon balance including major changes to the SBSR series of weapons. Epidemic The time to capture the last zone has been increased from 90 seconds to 120 seconds. Moved the City Hall spawn point so players are now spawning on the sidewalk to the West of City Hall rather than on the roof tops. The Barrel Stack located close to the Hospital should no longer be floating. Weapon Balance R2 'Harbinger' Health Damage per shot increased from 280 to 300. Shaw 556 Now loses 57% less accuracy when moving while in Marksmanship mode. ALIG 762 Now loses 67% less accuracy when moving while in Marksmanship mode. SBSR 'Coroner' Now fires roughly 30% faster. Bloom per shot reduced by 32%. Hard Damage per shot lowered by 42%. Run Modifier reduced by 50%. Jump Modifier reduced by 25%. Accuracy Cooldown removed. Weapon Switch Inaccuracy removed. Reload time reduced from 3.2s to 2.6s. Walk Speed increased from 90cm/s to 139cm/s. Marksmanship Speed increased from 90cm/s to 139cm/s. Run Speed increased from 350cm/s to 412.5cm/s. Sprint Speed increased from 475cm/s to 600cm/s. Ammo per Resupply cycle increased from 7 to 8. Reserve ammo increased from 32 to 48. Recoil intensity no longer increases with every shot. Changed Recoil to that of the Oblivion. Dev Note: These changes will feel a lot like a Mini-Rework to the Weapon and should make it feel much more distinct compared to the SBSR 'IRS'. Additionally its Time-to-kill has been adjusted to be more in line with the other rifles in the game. Testing has shown that the weapon is very powerful now so we'll be keeping a close eye on the Coroner and how it performs on Live and will make changes if necessary. SBSR 'IRS' Health Damage per shot increased from 350 to 400. Reduced the Hard Damage per shot by 12%. Walk Speed increased from 90cm/s to 139cm/s. Marksmanship Speed increased from 90cm/s to 139cm/s. Ammo per Resupply cycle increased from 7 to 8. Weapon Switch Inaccuracy removed. Recoil intensity no longer increases with every shot. Changed Recoil to that of the DMR-SD. Dev Note: These changes to the SBSR 'IRS' should make it feel a lot less clunky as well as making it hit much harder with each shot, allowing it to extend its 3-shot range up to 99 meters without requiring mods such as Improved Rifling. Additionally, we did not want to buff its Hard Damage as part of the Health Damage buff, because of this we have reduced the Hard Damage per shot by 12% which means that its hard damage is basically the same as it was before at 116 (was 115.5). Colby M-1922 Reworked the base recoil of the weapon. Recoil intensity no longer increases with every shot. Dev Note: The Colby M-1922 has suffered from having an unnecessary amount of Vertical recoil for quite some time, this patch ships completely new recoil values for the weapon which will make it significantly more controllable. Agrotech ACES SMG Magazine Capacity increased from 35 to 40. Maximum Bloom reduced by 7%. Agrotech ACES Rifle Now gains an additional 10% accuracy from Marksmanship mode. Reduced Horizontal Recoil while in Marksmanship mode by 30%. Thank you for your patience during this period.
