Server

  • CHANGEFog of war improved: the server now works out more precisely who can see whom, so players behind walls are sent to you less often while everyone you can see still shows up on time.
  • BUGFIXFixed a server freeze when spawning: sometimes you did not spawn after the spawn timer ran out, and after restarting the game you got "account already logged in". This no longer happens.

Weapons & Items

Bots & Zombies

  • BUGFIXLady: her thrown knife hits with the throw animation, and only if you are still in range and in sight. Take cover and it misses.

Client

  • BUGFIXLive level display: your level, EXP percentage and EXP bar now update right after a match, back in the room. You no longer have to leave the room to see your progress.

Premium

  • BUGFIXPremium tier fixed: buying a premium package now keeps the tier you bought. Before, it dropped one tier after logging in again (Platinum became Gold, Gold became Silver and so on).
01NOV 2026

Client

  • BUGFIXFixed constant small movement corrections while walking: costume abilities, buff items and stamina now match the server.
  • BUGFIXThe weight of a newly switched weapon applies right away.
  • BUGFIXFixed a crash when a click closed its own menu page, and a crash with some UI effects.
  • BUGFIXMore robust loading of textures, videos, models and UI files (protection against broken files).
  • BUGFIXFixed the Windows build.

Visuals & Sound

  • CHANGENew level icons.
  • CHANGENew grenade sounds (bounce, pin pull, explosion).
  • CHANGEUpdated impact, effect and UI sounds.

Capture the Flag

  • NEWYou can pick one of your team's captured control points as your spawn in the class window, using the original map buttons.

Bots & Zombies

  • CHANGEBots respect the room's level limit and fight according to their level: a new bot takes a level close to the human players' average. The easy / medium / hard settings are gone; aim, reaction, recoil control and headshot chance now all scale with the bot's level.
  • CHANGESmarter zombies: they use the bots' navigation, so they handle drops, ladders and obstacles, and they walk around or push against barrels. A zombie that falls through the map is put back on the ground.
  • CHANGEBetter bot navigation on all maps (rebuilt navigation meshes; BlindBullet fixed).

Weapons & Items

  • BUGFIXRifle fix: G36, SCAR-L / SCAR-H, Type 11 / Type 95, MD97, AK47 TC, ES 1 / ES 2 and their skins now fire like rifles, with proper recoil and spread. Before, they had none.

  • NEWNew gold weapons, unlocked from level 100. All other new weapons require the same level as their base weapon.
  • NEWNew Gunsmith parts and materials.

Gameplay

  • CHANGERoll: a roll now uses stamina the way it's meant to.

Anti-Cheat

  • NEWMovement fully checked by the server: your client sends only its inputs, 60 times a second, and the server moves your soldier itself. Your client predicts the movement, so it still feels instant, and you're corrected smoothly if the server disagrees.
  • NEWSpeed hacks, teleports and noclip no longer work.
  • NEWIf your connection drops, your soldier stands still instead of running on.
  • NEWOther players see where the server says you are.
  • NEWServer checks for everything else: shots, throws, hits, ammo, fall damage and vehicles are now verified by the server. If something doesn't add up, your client is quietly resynced; you're never kicked for it.
  • NEWLag compensation: hits are checked against where the target was when you fired, taking your ping into account, up to 300 ms. Shots start from your eye position on the server.
  • NEWShot checks: bullet spread is calculated the same way on client and server. Shots fired far off from where you were looking, such as silent aim or shots behind your back, are rejected.
  • NEWFog of war: you only receive players, vehicles, bullets, hits and sounds that you can actually see or hear. Wallhacks have nothing to show.
28OCT 2026

Client

Spectating

  • CHANGEThe spectator view follows the soldier's aim, so you can see where they're shooting.
  • CHANGEThe death screen names your killer.

Bots

  • NEWBots in your own rooms: the Create Room window has a new Bots setting (Off, or 1 up to Max Player − 1). It's only available in CQC, not in Battle Group or the AI channel.
  • NEWThe room master can change the bot count later in the Modify Room window, and the waiting room settings panel shows it.
  • NEWRooms with bots get an orange BOTS tag in the room list, and the room list tooltip shows "Bots Enabled / Disabled".
  • NEWBots give up their slot: if a side is full, a bot leaves so a player can switch to that side.
  • NEWSmarter bots: they use a trained neural network and go for the objective. They plant and defuse the bomb, lean around corners, use boxes and flashbangs on purpose, and react to footsteps, shots, reloads and explosions.
  • NEWBetter movement: bots follow proper paths around walls and other soldiers, so they get stuck far less often.
  • NEWSpawning like players: bots see the map intro and class window first, then spawn on the same timers and spawn waves as players.
  • NEWShooting like players: bots use the same weapon spread and recoil as players, and their shots are traced pellet by pellet.
  • NEWFewer headshots: bots aim at the body, and only about 2% of their shots go for the head. Normal room bots have less steady aim and react and turn more slowly.

Website

  • CHANGENew background picture on the home page, the player profiles and the leaderboard.

  • CHANGEThe soldier preview scales with the widget, so it fills the model area at every resolution. It stands lower, so the head is no longer cut off.

  • CHANGEThe cursor is redrawn in the theme: the original arrow in silver, a dark steel wedge and a chrome wing with a thin dark outline.

Gameplay

  • BUGFIXOpening the ESC menu during a roll or jump no longer pushes your character sideways. The move keeps the direction you started it in.
