Hello, Boss!

We’d like to share details of our first hotfix and some key gameplay updates.

Gameplay Updates

• Random Starting Squad in Campaign Mode - We've updated the campaign so that each new playthrough begins with a different starting squad. Previously, the squad was fixed to deliver the tutorial experience as intended by the dev team. However, based on player feedback, we've decided to introduce more variety. (PMC-0853)
• No Excessively Negative Modifiers in Campaign Starters - Operators with extreme negative modifiers will no longer appear in the starting squad for campaign mode. These traits were unintentionally raising the difficulty level for new players. This change ensures a smoother onboarding experience. (PMC-0856)
• Improved Late-Game Level Design in Freeplay - We’ve adjusted the difficulty curve in the later stages of Freeplay. Previously, some players reported hitting a wall due to overly punishing and inconsistent difficulty spikes. We aim to make Freeplay more accessible while planning to reintroduce higher difficulty through optional modifiers in future updates. (PMC-0861)

Other Gameplay Changes

• UI Update to Bring More Focus to the Freeplay - We've made UI adjustments across the build to better spotlight Freeplay mode. (PMC-0862)

• Campaign: Fixed an issue where operators' gear would disappear if they were not re-contracted. (PMC-0844)
• Missions: Fixed a bug where the same operator could appear twice in an event. (PMC-0715)
