New Solara Map
Explore Solara, a vibrant port city with purple jacarandá trees, waterfalls, and double peaks. The map features unique areas like the Studio, with collided trains, and the Shaded Community, with flowery streets. The big novelty is the sliding rails, which allow for quick movement and the use of ice walls for protection. Available in Ranked and 4v4 modes, Solara offers dynamic strategies for all playstyles. Test your tactics and dominate every corner of this tropical setting!
Revamped Classic Mode
The Classic Mode is now more strategic with adjustments that balance the pace of matches:
- Optimized Supplies: Backpacks with reduced capacity (300 to 240), more ice walls when reviving (1 to 2), and the Bizon replaced by the P90 in supply crates.
- Slower Safe Zone: The start of the game on maps like Bermuda and Solara gives more time for looting and planning, with larger zones and adjusted countdowns.
- Free Custom Rooms: Create rooms at no cost, with free configurations. For 100 diamonds, the Advanced Room Card places your room at the top of the list, adds team chat, and includes an automatic scoreboard, ideal for tournaments.
These changes make matches more tactical, perfect for exploring Solara’s rails or training with friends.
Weapons and Balancing
Weapons are now more powerful for intense combat:
- Assault Rifles (M4A1, SCAR, GROZA) with greater damage and ice wall penetration, standing out in mid and end-game. The M14 is now a precision rifle, ideal for long distances.
- Machine Guns (M60, M249) gained ammunition, mobility, and armor penetration, perfect for holding positions.
- Kord alternates between rapid shots (standing) and powerful ones (crouching), while the VSS has a 3-shot automatic burst.
- Cure-Y Weapon simplified: heals 25 HP or revives fallen allies with one shot, with no usage limit.
New sounds for ice walls, armor, and vehicles improve combat perception.
Powerful Characters
Characters received buffs and adjustments for the meta:
- Paloma: Increased accuracy for 10 seconds after destroying ice walls, ideal for urban combat.
- Ignis: Longer flame wall (8 seconds) and more lethal, perfect for controlling areas.
- Lila: Gains two extra ice walls, reinforcing tactical defenses.
- Lqueta, Moco, and Luna balanced, focusing on shield, reconnaissance, and mobility.
Combine with weapons like the M4A1 to dominate in Solara!
