New Weapon: MP5K

The MP5K is a brand new sub-machine gun chambered for 9mm ammunition. MP5K is exclusive to Vikendi and replaces the Vector on that map.

While the firing mechanics of the MP5K are similar to those of the Vector, it boasts a higher per bullet damage, but with a lower overall firing rate and DPS. This SMG also has a higher magazine capacity than the Vector, starting at 30 rounds by default with 40 rounds in an extended magazine.

Key characteristics of the MP5K:

• High rate of fire at 900 RPM with reasonably easy to control recoil
• Accommodates all attachment slots to allow for a tactical stock, different types of magazines, muzzle attachments, grips, the laser sight and, of course, scopes
• Base damage value of 33
• Exclusive to Vikendi

  • First aid kits will no-longer heal instantly after use timer and will instead restore health over a 2 second period
  • Vehicles now block players from receiving grenade damage with a similar mechanism used for other objects. Although, depending on grenade position and trajectory, damage can still be dealt to players hiding behind vehicles.

Item Spawn Balance Modification

Erangel Loot Changes

The overall item spawn rates on Erangel have been increased. Additionally, we’ve increased the spawn rate of some major weapon classes.

• Increased the spawn rate of ARs (12%), DMRs (16%) and SMGs (14%)
• SRs and Handguns received a slight spawn rate increase

Due to item changes this patch, including merging some attachments together, there is naturally a gap left in spawns which needs to be filled with other items. Because of this, we have increased the spawn rate of other items evenly. This will also result in a small increase in spawns of high priority items such as ARs, meds etc.

This also means the overall loot for other maps has also increased slightly, although no changes have been made to individual item spawn ratios on other maps.

• Crosshair UI Improvement for Canted Sight and Scopes
  • Added a new crosshair when using the Canted Sight to help players easily identify which scope they have equipped

• When using your main scope, you will see the standard crosshair, with an X shaped crosshair when using the Canted Sight

Movement Rustling Sound

• Weapons
  • Separate rustle sounds now play when equipping weapons in your hands vs holstering on your back
  • Identical rustling sound will be played regardless of weapon type
  • Sidearms, melee weapons and throwables do not make rustling sounds
• Sound level balance
  • Even though the audible range of clothes is same as bags/weapons etc, it may sound like they’re heard at a different range due to the volume being lower.
  • The faster you move, the louder the noise, which can then be heard from further away
  • Rustling sounds of backpacks, weapons are all identical in both volume and audible distance
  • Audible distance and volume of the rustling sound changes dynamically based on the characters movement speed
  • The audible range and the volume of the rustling sound is lower than footsteps

UI/UX

• In-game lobby background and BGM has been changed
  • 
• System menu UI which can be accessed by pressing the Start button has been redesigned
  • 
• Emotes customization UI has been redesigned
  • 
  • Starting at 12 o’clock position,  4 of the emotes positioned counter-clockwise you previously equipped will be unequipped.
  • You can customize your emotes in the EMOTES tab within the CUSTOMIZATION menu.
  • The maximum number of emote you can use in-game has been changed to 8 from 12

  • Material data structure has been optimized.
