The "Gather Friends" event: Phase 2

A key highlight of the update is the "Gather Friends" event, which is entering its second phase. Until September 16, 2024, players have the opportunity to invite friends into the game with an invitation code. If the invitation is successful, the invited player will receive a free weapon, while the inviter collects friendship points. These points can be exchanged for valuable rewards in the event store. Please note that friendship points from the first phase of the event are not carried over to the second phase.

New cosmetic items

The update also introduces a variety of new cosmetic items. The Lightforge Loot Crate: Beach Bash, which will be available from August 30, 2024, is particularly in focus. Among other things, this crate contains the legendary "Sunshine Splash" package, an exclusive outfit set and epic and legendary weapon skins. Players can look forward to a range of new designs that bring the summer feeling into the game.

There are also new furnishings under the "Modern Simple Life Set", including a large refrigerator, a new mailbox and a weapon locker. More outfits and weapon skins will also be available in the coming weeks.

Gameplay and system optimizations

In addition to the new content, the update also includes a number of optimizations. The mod and equipment filters have been expanded to allow players to customize their equipment more specifically. Climbing and movement mechanics have also been refined so that overcoming obstacles is now smoother.

Measures against inactive players have been introduced in the "Prime War" game mode to ensure a fair gaming experience. In addition, the performance issues in this mode have been addressed to provide a more stable gaming experience.

Further adjustments concern the building of facilities and the game experience in the open world. For example, the positions of some loot boxes have been adjusted and new rare plant species have been added to the pollution zone that can be processed into acid.

Bug fixes

Finally, the update includes a number of bug fixes that affect various aspects of the game. These include improvements to the aiming aid for controllers, the correction of incorrect damage values and the elimination of display errors for various objects.
