System
Edit Augments in Game Preparation Phase
Some Augments may have different utility according to the weather. As a result, we’re allowing players to edit their Augments during the game prep phase, making it more convenient for experienced players to modify them to match their assigned weather and team.
Now, when you select a Saved Plan in the game prep phase you can also edit your Augments from that Saved Plan.
However, these changes will only be applied to the current game and will not affect the original Saved Plan.
Weather Changes
Foggy is back in some modes!
Sub-weather: Foggy will be now available in Normals, Customs and vs. AI.
It will still not be available in Ranked.
We’re adding an SP regen effect to Rainy.
Main weather
Rainy
(NEW) SP Regen +100%
It might hurt getting hit by lightning but it also has it’s benefits. The current of the lighting strike recharges the VF energy, granting subjects Movement Speed for a moment.
Lightning Strike
(NEW) Movement Speed Increased by 15% for 5s.
Getting continuously struck by lightning doesn’t stack and the duration of the effect is reset.
Crafting Beverages in the Campfire
You’ll now be able to craft high rarity beverages easily in the Campfire.
Bring your Common rarity beverages by the campfire to craft high rarity beverage. (See Beverage)
We’re also adding options to get SP.
Weather

Some equipment will offer SP Regen
Unknown Number of Teams Remaining
We’re no longer displaying the number of teams remaining at a specific point in the game, making it difficult to predict other teams' situations based on the number of teams left in the second half of the game.
Applied to: Day 6 or when 3 or less teams are remaining
Kill Bonus
It’s currently hard to get rid of downed enemies within Restricted Areas or during the Temporary Safe Zones Phase, so we’re changing the circumstances when the kill bonus' restricted area count restoration is applied.
Kill Bonus' restricted area count restoration : Enemy Kill → Enemy Downed
Revival Cost Increase
As we added the function for team players to use their Credits to revive allies, the average number of revivals has increased leading to a higher number of surviving teams during the Temporary Safe Zone Phase. As a result, we’re increasing the cost of revival to make it a bit more difficult to revive allies.
Teammate Revival Cost 200 → 250 Credits
Team Invites & Friend Requests Improvements
Team invites will no longer be canceled by pressing the ESC key; instead, press 1 to 'Accept' and 2 to 'Reject' Team Invites.
