[New Features]
[ARK Company Red Zone]
The prolonged release of pheromones not only contaminated the groundwater, but also eroded the geological ecology near the ARK Corporation, causing a massive earthquake that ultimately resulted in the survival of only the main building of the ARK Corporation. After the earthquake, accompanied by severe weather conditions, the environment became even harsher as the sky was permanently shrouded in a thick, red fog, earning the name “Red Zone”. For this reason, inexperienced Fireflies are forbidden to enter. Meanwhile, it is rumored that rich assets accumulated over the years are hidden inside the ARK Company, not yet transferred and waiting to be discovered by Fireflies!
The known effects of the Red Zone are:
1. Due to unfavorable weather conditions, Fireflies cannot obtain sound indicators, routes and other information outdoors. Also, the use of Detection Cannons and EMPs is restricted on this map.
2. Due to the harsh environmental conditions, Fireflies cannot live indoors for long, so they have no chance to respawn; Fireflies only have one chance to explore!
3. Fireflies can only participate in the operation during the Radiation Sandstorm.
4. Key resource areas are pre-marked to facilitate Firefly reconnaissance.
5. Fireflies cannot call for External Rescue, nor can they team up or perform rescues within the operation due to the effects on communication devices.
6. Resources are limited and evacuation support cannot be provided from Evacuation Points at ground level; evacuation can only take place from the roof.
7. To enter the Red Zone you must prove you are an experienced Firefly and wear at least 100,000 worth of equipment!
8. Most ordinary resources have been eroded by adverse weather conditions, but it is rumored that Radiumonds can withstand the test of the storm.
[Dog Tag Coin Hunt]
After this update, Dogtag Coin Hunt will be available again.
Maps available this season: BAF Factory - Competitive and Mt. Akiyama - Competitive.
[New Mode Available - Knife Fight]
Introducing [PvP] Knife Fight, a limited-time event mode.
Ten Fireflies will battle it out in the Violet Hospital.
A Cryptocurrency will be awarded as a prize in this mode, and only the last Firefly standing will be able to evacuate with it.
1. This mode is time-limited and failure to evacuate before time runs out will result in failure.
2. Players can respawn, but there is a limit to the number of respawns allowed.
3. Although Armed Marauders are present, all weapons are disabled, so proceed with caution.
4. The Tactical Saddle Bag area cannot be accessed in this mode.
[New In-Game Event: Interference Chip Introduced]
In high-stakes matches, Fireflies will experience the new Parasite Chip event, adding variety and excitement to the gaming experience, offering unique loot and powerful power-up opportunities.
Parasite Chip Event:
1. Random Drop and Strategic Exploration:
Parasite Chips randomly spawn around the map. Fireflies can check the timeline for chip spawn times. When a chip spawns, its location is marked on the map. Be careful, because other players may already be lurking and ready to attack.
2. Scanning Perception, Full Awareness: By acquiring a chip, Firefly gains an enhanced scanning ability to periodically reveal the locations of nearby enemies and valuables. At close range, they can even detect enemies from behind walls. However, using this power also reveals their own location, so careful consideration is required.
3. Chip Capture and Ability Transfer: If a Firefly with a chip is knocked down, he gains a temporary “second life” and gives his teammates time to recover, making the Self Revive Syringe important here. Players who knock down the chip carrier must tie it immediately to prevent it from escaping. Successful capture and removal transfers the chip's ability to the captor.
4. Time Limited Opportunity: Chips will disappear after encountering storms, successful evacuation or entering a new area. Fireflies also lose their abilities when they die, so make the most of your opportunity.
[Mount Akiyama Map Update - Snow Mode Available]
Dear Fireflies
According to the Exclusion Zone Meteorological Department's forecast, a strong cold air mass will bring long-awaited heavy snow to Mt. Akiyama with the long-awaited heavy snow. The area will be covered with snow and visibility will be reduced. Fireflies, please enjoy the snowy Mt. Akiyama to the fullest! Watch out for footprints on the ground, because they can help you find other Fireflies!
