• Massive Resurgence: This mode features 120 players, with teams consisting of four people. Revives happen under special conditions, adding uniqueness to this mode.

Bug Fixes:

Limited-Time Resurgence Mode: The new limited-time mode High Trip Resurgence combines the classic Resurgence ruleset with special storytelling and gameplay enhancements. This mode is available on the Verdansk map and allows 120 players in teams of four. A unique feature is the continuous revival during the active timer.

Ranking Ecosystem:

• 150 players: The ranked mode now features 150 players, making the matches more large-scale.
• New SR values: SR values have been adjusted to better fit the new map and gameplay changes.
• Rank restrictions adjusted: Bonuses that conflict with the ranking ecosystem have been removed, and unlimited launchers have been added for more effective use of equipment.
• Unlocking ranked games: To access ranked matches, players must be in the top 6 teams in Resurgence or the top 15 in Battle Royale.

Rank Drop in Season 3: With the start of Season 3, all players will be temporarily dropped to the bronze rank. This will help maintain game balance until the start of Season 4 when the rank reset system will be reactivated for a typical reset.

Skill Delta Bonuses: The bonus system, which accounts for the skill difference between you and your opponents, has been updated. It now more accurately rewards victories over higher-skill players and reduces the impact when the skill delta between players is too wide.

Deployment Fee: At the start of each match, a deployment fee is deducted from the overall skill rating (SR) of each player. The higher the rank and level, the higher the deployment fee. This ensures a smoother ecosystem integration for players.

Weapon Loot Update: An important update affects the weapons used for loot on the ground. Incompatible or ineffective attachments have been removed, and new options have been added to improve the overall variety and balance of weapon builds.

High-Value Loot Zones: Each season, three points of interest (POI) on Verdansk will be marked as high-value loot zones, providing increased loot density. In Season 03 "Reload," the active zones are the train station, supermarket, and military base — great spots for early hot drops.

Movement Speed During Armor Insertion: Movement speed during armor plate insertion is now standardized, meaning it will no longer change depending on animation or equipment, ensuring greater fairness in the game.
