S8 Highlight 1 - Final Safe Zone Changes

Final Safe Zone Changes

The game's Final Safe Zone will now be designated near the Chronosphere that spawns within the Final Restricted Area.

The circular Safe Zone will form around the Chronosphere. Since this zone gradually shrinks or moves, it's more difficult to hold a fixed position, leading to more dynamic and complex combats.

Chronosphere

• A new objective that creates the Safe Zone. It follows a set schedule to create, shrink, move, and eventually disappear.

• Chronospheres appear in both the Final Safe Zone and Combat Lab. In the Combat Lab, the Chronosphere can grant a buff once through channeling.

End-game Phase Timing Changes

Day 6

• The Chronosphere objective first appears in a pre-activated state, allowing players to anticipate the location of the Final Safe Zone in advance.

Day 7

• The Chronosphere changes to Standby.

  • The initial Safe Zone area is displayed on the game screen, minimap, and expanded map.

Night 7

The Chronosphere activates according to the timing below.

• Safe Zone Is Designated

  • The Chronosphere appears, generating a 30m-radius Safe Zone for 5 seconds.

• 1st Safe Zone Shrink

  • Over the next 20 seconds, the Safe Zone gradually shrinks to a 14m radius.

• Movement Standby

  • The Chronosphere remains in the same place for 10 seconds, displaying its target location.

• Movement

  • The Chronosphere moves to its target location, bringing the Safe Zone along with it.

• 2nd Safe Zone Shrink

  • The Safe Zone gradually shrinks to a 5m radius over 15 seconds.

• Chronosphere & Safe Zone Disappear Standby

  • After 30 seconds, both the Chronosphere and Safe Zone disappear.

S8 Highlight 2 - Rift

Rift

A Rift is a phenomenon caused by abnormal VF energy. This new objective teleports test subjects who approach it to a different space. One of two Rift types appears during designated time windows, with the specific type determined by timing and the number of remaining teams.

Only two teams can enter the Dimensional Rift, initiating a fair 3v3 battle. All downed teammates are revived upon entry, and the winning team receives major rewards. However, starting from Day 3, killed enemies are entirely eliminated, making this a high-risk, high-reward choice.

Test Subjects entering the Warp from outside areas begin a descent over the Research Center, allowing them to reposition to the opposite side of Lumia Island.

Both Dimensional Rifts and Warps aim to offer an engaging experience while simultaneously helping strategically regulate the number of players in certain areas. They address clustering issues and create a healthier overall game flow which are core elements of Season 8's new systems.

Rift Spawn Conditions

A Rift’s spawn is signaled 60 seconds in advance on the HUD, Minimap and Expanded Map.

• Day 2

  • 2 Dimensional Rifts

• Night

  • 2 Dimensional Rifts

• Day 3

  • When 7 or more teams are remaining

    • 2 Dimensional Rifts

• Night 4

Dimensional Rift

• The Dimensional Rift teleports test subjects who enter it to the Combat Lab. Only one team can enter each Dimensional Rift. 

• Only two teams in total can enter the Combat Lab at a time. The winner gets a significant reward.

• If your team enters via a normal Dimensional Rift and is wiped in the Combat Lab, you are not eliminated from the experiment. 

• However, from Day 3 onward, Enhanced Dimensional Rifts will spawn. If your team is wiped in the Combat Lab, you lose and are removed from the experiment.

• All downed teammates are revived upon entering the Combat Lab and when winning a battle inside it.

Dimensional Rift - Combat Lab

• Upon entering, your team waits in a staging area until either a set amount of time passes or an opposing team arrives.

• Once a set amount of time passes or an opposing team arrives, the entire zone becomes a Restricted Area. You’ll need to move toward the Combat Lab’s special Chronosphere, eliminate the enemy team and claim victory.

• The Combat Lab includes different combat variables that you can interact with such as a Chronosphere, Shield Packs, Environmental Variables and Brushes.

• Enhanced Combat Labs are filled with purple VF plasma.
  
  

• Losing a battle in an Enhanced Combat Lab eliminates you from the experiment.

Dimensional Rift - Victory

• When your team wins in the Combat Lab, a Reward Box will appear on the left side of the central lab. After collecting your reward, you can exit using the Escape Loop located next to the box.

• The Combat Lab Escape Loop only allows you to an area adjacent to the area where you entered.

Warp

• The Warp launches test subjects into the sky after they remain on it for a certain amount of time, transporting them to the Warp Exit located at the entrance of the Research Center in the Forest area. Use your VLS-trained skills to glide to your desired destination.

• If teammates are on the same Warp when the transfer occurs, they’ll be launched together, just like with the VLS. The first Test Subject to enter the Warp becomes the host for the trip.

• During their trip and until they land, Test Subjects gain Restricted Area immunity.

S8 Highlight 3 - Gadget Vault

Gadget Vault

Gadgets are now accessed through the Gadget Vault, rather than as item drops, allowing all players to focus on strategy and team strength without being heavily impacted by luck or mastery gaps.

• Gadget Energy Packs: Use them to gain 20 Gadget Energy.

  • These packs can be purchased from Lumi or obtained by hunting herds of Mutant Bears.

S8 Main Gameplay Changes

Objective Highlight & Outlines

Now when you click on Characters, Wild Animals and Installations, outlines are highlighted to improve visibility. 

Neutral objectives such as the Security Console, Hyperloop, VLS and Kiosks always display outlines.

New System - Break

During the Elimination Prevention phase, a full team wipe triggers Break instead of Terminate.

• Break

  • If all members of a team have been downed but the team has not yet been eliminated, and all final blows were delivered by the same opposing team, the team gets Break.

    • Your movement speed increases by 1 for 2.5 seconds, then you recover HP equal to 15% Max HP (+30% of Lost HP) and SP equal to 50% of your Max SP.

  • However, if you achieve Break while also meeting the Clutch condition (when only you remain at the moment the enemy team is wiped out), you get Clutch.

Cooldown Reduction Formula Update

The cooldown reduction (CDR) formula is being revamped.

Previously, the more cooldown reduction you stacked, the more efficient it became—often leading to an all-or-nothing approach. This design created a rigid structure where optimal builds focused on maxing CDR or not building it at all.

The new formula adopts a diminishing returns model, similar to how defense is calculated. As you stack more cooldown reduction, its efficiency gradually decreases. This eliminates the need for a hard cap and allows for more flexible build choices without extreme trade-offs.

Previous Formula

• Final cooldown = Base cooldown × (100 - total CDR)

New Formula

• Final cooldown = Base cooldown × 100 / (100 + total CDR)

• Cooldown reduction will now be displayed as a raw number without a %symbol.

  • The actual reduced cooldown percentage will be displayed in the stat window. (e.g., 50 → 33%).

• Cooldown reduction cap has been removed.

• (NEW) Some items will gain CDR mechanics.

  • Ultimate skill cooldown reduction

  • Tac skill cooldown reduction

  • Weapon skill cooldown reduction (Future Update)

This change is aimed at making CDR a smoother, more scalable stat that opens up diverse build possibilities without being constrained by hard limits.

Reloading Changes

• Characters using Pistols, Assault Rifles and Sniper Rifle weapons, with the exception of Bernice, can no longer reload.

• Ammo counts for these weapons have been removed.

• The reload hotkey has also been removed.

SP

SP is no longer used for crafting, interacting with objectives, etc.

Traps & Cameras

• All Cameras, Traps HP 8 → 3 

• Augments are no longer triggered by trap effects. 

Escape Improvements

Escape conditions and process have been simplified for smoother gameplay so you no longer need to get to the Abandoned Dock.

Escape Conditions

• Phase

  • Starting on Day 4 → Starting on Day 3

Escape Process

• Using a Loop Card Key - Red now immediately begins a 5s escape countdown.

  • During this countdown, you can move but cannot perform other actions or interact with objectives.

• Once the countdown ends, you are automatically transported to the submarine through the loop and escape.

  • If your team is eliminated during the countdown, the escape fails and your team is eliminated from the experiment.

Emote Display Location Changes

Emotes are now consistently displayed on the left side of the screen for easier tracking.

• Emotes that appear above characters' heads remain unchanged.

• Emotes that previously appeared next to teammate icons on the bottom right are moved to the left side.

Season 8 Technical Gameplay Changes

Basic Attack Update

The judgment logic for basic attacks has been updated for greater consistency and clarity.

  • Li Dailin – Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)'s Dialed In (P)

Game Version Rule Update

To make it easier to intuitively understand the seasonal progression of Eternal Return, we’re changing the version numbering.

Previous Versioning

The official launch was marked as 1.0, and with every major update, the subversion number was incremented.
For example, the recent version 1.50 indicated the 50th update since official launch.

Versions will now be labeled using the format:
“Season - Major Update Number”

For example, during Season 8:

• 8.0: Preseason update

• 8.1 (July 17): Start of the Ranked Season

• 8.2 (July 24), 8.5 (September 4): New character release

• 8.3 (August 7), 8.6 (September 18): Token Skin Release

• 8.4 (August 21): Mid-season update

• 8.7 (October 2): Final update of Season 8

• 9.0 (October 16) — Preseason for Season 9 begins

Please note: Version numbers and content are tentative targets and may change during development.
