  • However, the Security Console displays the location only at the exact time it is activated and does not update once wild animals have been hunted.


Wild Animals Spawn Points Changes

We're significantly changing the spawn points of wild animals. First, we’re relocating animals that were initially placed in hard-to-reach corners that were detrimental to hunting routes, thus diversifying the hunting routes. Additionally, we’re adding 3 mutant packs to bring significant changes to the Night 1’s hunting routes.

Due to the extensive changes, it's hard to show you all locations through images, so here’s a table on the changes by region instead.

Meteorite Collision Points

We’re also rearranging meteorite collision points.

  • We’re removing all original collision points and adding 3 new collision points per area.

  • Most collision points, with a few exceptions, will be far from area entrances.

  • Examples

Shoichi's Minor Rework Update

Shoichi, known for his flashy plays utilizing his Dagger and Bottom Line (W), required quick thinking and execution to find and perform the optimal combo in any given situation, making him a highly challenging character to play. However, if Shoichi successfully executes everything perfectly, his opponents have little to no chance to counter, making them feel helpless.

Shoichi will now have two weaknesses. Firstly, his Phony Deal (P) stacks will no longer be generated by throwing Daggers. While successfully hitting his skills will still allow him to gain stacks, enabling his passive to activate at least once, his ultimate alone will no longer guarantee recharging his passive as before. This means there will be an opening where Shoichi might run out of Daggers in extended fights. Additionally, Shoichi's ultimate activation will have a significant delay, giving opponents more opportunities to disrupt him with crowd control or evade his attacks.

The intention behind Shoichi's rework is not to completely change his playstyle. Shoichi will remain a stylish assassin who excels with his utilization of Bottom Line (W). Skilled Shoichi players will still pose a significant challenge. However, the goal is to introduce timing windows where Shoichi has vulnerabilities, allowing opponents to have opportunities to counter his skill combos.

Creating these openings may inevitably disrupt the established feel and rhythm of Shoichi's combos and gameplay. While we aimed to introduce these openings without affecting core skills like Bottom Line (W), it might still feel like a substantial downgrade to Shoichi players. On the other hand, opponents might feel that these new openings are not sufficient to punish Shoichi. This change is just the first step, and we will continue to monitor gameplay to consider further adjustments and improvements.

  • Skill Amplification per Dagger Mastery Level 3.8% → 4.1%

  • Phony Deal(P)

    • Now, tossing a dagger with Phony Deal will no longer stack Phony Deal.

    • Phony Deal Max Stacks Extra Basic Attack Damage 10/20/30(+Skill Amplification 30%)(+Target's Max HP 2/3/4%) → 10/20/30(+Skill Amplification 40%)(+Target's Max HP 2/3/4%)

    • Dagger Damage 10/40/70(+Skill Amplification 25%) → 10/40/70(+Skill Amplification 30%)

  • Bottom Line(W)

    • Damage 40/60/80/100/120(+Skill Amplification 60%) → 60/80/100/120/140(+Skill Amplification 60%)
