Patch Notes [02.09.2026]

Grenade

Changes

Stinky

• Stinky Grenade Round

Removed passive input of stopping power

• Added Stability: -200%

The Grenade no longer passively slows enemies simply by being within its radius, but it significantly increases the stopping power of incoming shots.

Round

Changes

All buckshot and 12 Caliber Birdshot

The bonus spread is reduced by half (200% → 100%, 100% → 50%)

12 Caliber Hunting Round

Added a 25% damage bonus to mutants

Barricade

Damage to structures: x2 → x2.5

Attachment

Changes

Weight Tactical Grip

Weight: 90 g → 200 g

• Removed: Ergonomics: -10%

• Removed Sway: -16%

• Vertical recoil: -10.5% → -15%

• Added Speed during aiming: -5%

• Speed: -2% → -1.5%

Weighted grip is now the most effective grip for reducing recoil overall.
If you use it with armor that ignores the effect of weapon speed on the character's movement speed, the only penalty it will have left is the speed while aiming penalty.

Skyline MBC

Spread: -5% → -7.5%

• Recoil buildup: -25% → -10%

• Vertical recoil: -30% → -20.25%

• Horizontal recoil: 25% → 6.75%

Roll Flash Hider

Spread: -5% → -7.5%

• Recoil buildup: -25% → -10%

• Vertical recoil: 15% → 6.75%

• Horizontal recoil: -30% → -20.25%

Skyline and Roll received a nerf to both their strengths and their penalties. Previously, these muzzles had too much of an impact on recoil. Now they are more in line with other master attachments.

Vendetta Precision VP-09 Interceptor

Fixed an incorrect rank display: Veteran → Master

Module

Changes

Decompressor

Added Recoil buildup: -2.727%, -10.906%

Further reducing the rate of recoil increase will help the Decompressor perform better over long distances, where the module begins to provide an advantage.

Aggressor

Added Stopping power modifier: 5.998%, 23.994%

Blighter

Added Spread: -2.045%, -8.18%

• Added Hip-fire spread: -2.045%, -8.18%

Blighter and Aggressor received permanent, minor buffs that do not depend on killing an opponent, to make them more comfortable to play.

Artifact

Changes

Comments

Tallow

Added:

• Speed: 0.3%

• Running speed: 0.3%

A buff to grab attention. (It's a good artifact, but it's sad that you're not using it.)

Tiny Key

Recoil: -4.4% → -6.5%

• Sway: -6.1% → -9.1%

Bonus properties:

• Recoil: -2.1% → -3.1%

• Sway: -2.1% → -3.1%

Bismuth

Added Sway: -13%

• Recoil: -4.4% → -4.6%

Bonus properties:

• Recoil: -1.5% → -1.6%

• Sway: -6.1% → -4.4%

• Removed Regeneration: 0.7%

• Added Healing effectiveness: 9.1%

It used to be too similar to Tiny Key, but now they differ more in terms of recoil and sway, and since sway is a less significant parameter, a compensation property was added.

Larva

Added Radiation: -0.3

This small amount of output will allow you to use higher-quality artifacts for radiation, and in some cases, even increase their number by one.

Static

Recoil: -3.7% → -5.5%

Bonus properties:

• Recoil: -1.3% → -1.9%

Cone

Added Running speed: 0.6%

• Added Healing effectiveness: 5.1%

Bonus properties:

• Removed Burning: -0.1

• Added Speed: 0.6%

• Healing effectiveness

Compared to similar artifacts, this one was weak and of little interest to players. Therefore, we give it a very desirable additional property in the form of speed and enhance the healing effectiveness, while keeping the burning almost unchanged.

Loop

Recoil: -2.6% → -3.8%

Bonus properties:

• Recoil: -0.9% → -1.3%

Link

Added Speed: 0.4%

• Added Running speed: 0.4%

Slightly behind its T5 counterparts

Rubik

Bonus properties:

• Recoil: -2.1% → -3.1%

Container

Changes

Bale bag

Effectiveness: 123% → 127.5%

• Stamina: 50% → 35%

Armor

Changes

Rigel Jumpsuit

Stability: 20% → 25%

RAPS AH-6 Nomad

Speed: -3% → -2%

RAPS AH-5 Pilgrim

Speed: -3% → -2%

RAPS AH-4 Raider

Speed: -2% → -1%

AH-3 Seeker Suit

Speed: -1% → 0%

AH-2 Rover Suit

Speed: -1% → 0%

Following the latest improvements, the AH armor series has come close to matching the Scythian in popularity, but it still falls significantly short of it in overall PvP statistics.
To make it a little easier to fight and move around while wearing the suit, the speed penalty will be reduced slightly further.

Bear

Bullet resistance: 197 → 199

SBA TANK

Bullet resistance: 272 → 275

Apostle Super-Heavy Armored Suit

• Reiter Super-Heavy Armored Suit

• Chieftain Super-Heavy Armored Suit

• Granite Super-Heavy Armored Suit

Bullet resistance: 282 → 286

Centurion Armored Exoskeleton

Bullet resistance: 250 → 247

The Centurion, which is a bit too versatile (for combat armor), has been slightly nerfed. It used to dominate its counterparts not only in tournaments and Session Battles, but also in the open world.
Super-heavy armor suits received a slight buff to better compete with the Centurion in PvP-focused modes.

Antares Exoarmor

Speed: -7% → -6%

Peresvet Jumpsuit

Carry weight: 13 → 15

• Bullet resistance: 209 → 211

Orion Jumpsuit

Carry weight: 13 → 15

• Bullet resistance: 192 → 195

Arc Jumpsuit

Carry weight: 13 → 15

• Bullet resistance: 203 → 206

Navigator Jumpsuit

Carry weight: 13 → 15

• Bullet resistance: 198 → 200

Faction scientific power armor and the Antares are slightly upgraded to ensure fairer competition with the versatile Saturn.

AEK-965

Reduced slowdown of the shooter after firing.

Following its most recent nerf and general changes to its balance, the AEK-965 began to lose out to its closest counterpart, the KS-23, and saw a sharp decline in popularity.
Now, after firing a shot, it suffers a smaller speed penalty than the KS-23, which makes it more mobile in combat.

Cobray Terminator

Reduced delay before reloading begins after a shot

Ripper

Fixed an incorrect rank display: Veteran → Stalker

FN Five-seveN

Added a default sight

OTs-33 Pernach

Minimum damage: 26.8 → 29

Pernach is significantly less popular than its counterparts, primarily because of its small magazine capacity. We will boost its stats to partially compensate for this (similar to the SR-3M, for example). Expanding Pernach magazine will bring it very close to the Glock and eliminate the pistol's uniqueness.

RSh-12
CR-72

Draw time: 0.4 sec → 0.5 sec

IMI Micro Uzi

Draw time: 0.6 sec → 0.5 sec

SR-3M

Damage: 33.5 → 33.1

SR-3 Vikhr

Damage: 29.4 → 29

Scorpion EVO III

Damage: 30.8 → 30.6

TDI KRISS Vector

Damage: 35 → 34.8

PPK-20

Minimum damage: 25 → 25.5

Vityaz-SN

Minimum damage: 21.9 → 22.3

PP-19-01 Vityaz

Minimum damage: 17.9 → 18.6

AEK-919K Kashtan

Minimum damage: 12.7 → 13

PKP Pecheneg

Damage: 45 → 45.3

Worn PKP

Damage: 39.6 → 39.8

M60

Damage: 50.7 → 51

RPL-20

Damage: 43.8 → 44

Hystrix's RPD

• Firebrand's RPD

Minimum damage: 24.1 → 26.5

Seer's Abakan

Minimum damage: 19.5 → 21.5

Varyag's Gift

Minimum damage: 22.8 → 25.1

FAMAS G2

Horizontal recoil: 0.11° → 0.13°

FAMAS saw a significant increase in effectiveness after it became possible to attach grips. Its damage wasn't increased initially, since the FAMAS was, at best, an average weapon and could only be slightly buffed, but in the end, it became a little stronger than intended and now, while not significantly, outperforms its counterparts.

ASM Serval

Damage: 37.9 → 37.5

The situation with Serval is similar to that of submachine guns: it's too effective to compensate for the lower damage per magazine compared to all other 9x39 assault rifles designed for close combat. In tournaments and at the Coliseum, it is far more effective than its counterparts.

AMB-17

Damage: 41.5 → 42

AKS-9 Stoat

Damage: 30.6 → 30.8

• Minimum damage: 20.5 → 21

AK-9M Coyote

Damage: 36.4 → 36.6

• Minimum damage: 24.3 → 24.9

OTs-14M Surge

Damage: 38.3 → 38.5

• Minimum damage: 27.1 → 27.2

AMB-17 and Surge are falling behind in the race for close-range weapon effectiveness. A slight improvement, coupled with setbacks among their competitors, will make them more competitive.

A-762 Ares

Minimum damage: 29.5 → 30

AEK-973 Mars

Minimum damage: 24.8 → 25.5

OTs-14-A1 Thor

Minimum damage: 23.1 → 24.1

MK47 Mutant

Damage: 44.5 → 44.7

AK-15

Damage: 47.3 → 47.5

HK XM8S

Minimum damage: 35.2 → 36.2

XM8 (A)

Minimum damage: 35.2 → 36.2

HK XM8

Minimum damage: 33.7 → 34.7

AUG A3 (A)

Minimum damage: 34.4 → 35.5

X95 (A)

Minimum damage: 29.5 → 30.4

IWI Tavor X95

Minimum damage: 27.9 → 28.8

FN F2000 Tactical

Minimum damage: 30.9 → 31.9

FN F2000

Minimum damage: 27.1 → 28

QBZ-191 Thunderbird

Damage: 37.5 → 37.6

• Minimum damage: 32.5 → 33.5

ASh-12

Damage: 51 → 51.5

ASh-12 silencer:

• Spread: -21.25% → -25%

• Vertical recoil: -1.5% → -10%

• Horizontal recoil: -1.5% → -10%

• Sway: 15% → 20%

• Aiming time: 15% → 20%

• Draw time: 20% → 35%

Revised characteristics of the ASh-12 silencer: it now makes the weapon less ergonomic but reduces recoil more effectively.

K2C1

Damage: 38.9 → 39

KS-1

Damage: 40 → 40.3

AM-17

Damage: 43.8 → 44

AK-12 (A)

Damage: 42.9 → 43

VSS-M Vintorez

Damage: 40 → 42.5

• Spread: 0.2° → 0.25°

Damage: 35.5 → 37.5

• Spread: 0.2° → 0.25°

VSK-94 (A)

Damage: 46.5 → 48

• Spread: 0.2° → 0.25°
