4th November 2024
Feature
Added Vehicle Mods which are designed to be a less frustrating and more flexible replacement to vehicle tuning. Vehicle Mods can be acquired via Looting or by scapping vehicles for Mod Coins which are exchangeable for mods in the Black Market. During this early period, tuning will continue to be available, although a vehicle can't be tuned AND have mods. As the feature is new, mods are likely to be tweaked during this early period. If you prefer, please continue using tuning for the time being. Full details can be found on the 'Your Garage' page of the game guide.

The Halloween event has been reimagined and will now haunt you for two full weeks instead of just a few days. Starts today with the new round 👻
18th October 2024
Change
Shooting: When you make a successful backfire kill, your backfire is now limited to 10 x the amount of bullets shot at you. For example, if someone shoots 50,000 bullets at you and your backfire is 1,000,000 bullets, your loss will be limited to 500,000 bullets. This update was somewhat controversial in global chat last round, however it did receive strong support with 72% in favour when polled. We can try the change this round and if a strong majority find it doesn't work well, the change can always be reverted in future rounds. The purpose is not to end backfire wasting as a concept (which we know is generally popular), but to make it just a little bit more difficult and therefore slightly more fair. Last round, backfire loss would have been reduced in 33 cases due to this change, but equally the shooter in each case could stock a small amount more (relative to their target's backfire) to cause the same loss of backfire. Finally, some sceptics have suggested this change is designed to benefit players who buy credits. This is untrue, it's a change designed to make the game more enjoyable for everybody, but our counterargument would be that those who buy credits can restock bullets more easily and are less in need of this form of backfire protection, whereas "free to play" players will more strongly benefit from the added relief when being backfire wasted.
18th October 2024
Change
Trade Limits: The bullet receive Trade Limit has been reduced from 150,000 to 100,000. We continue to see behaviour from all camps which is likely to be Real World Trading (but unproveable), therefore we'll continue making this more difficult until we're satisfied the behaviour has stopped or has a very minimal impact on the game.
18th October 2024
Change
Trade Limits: The vehicle and perk Trade Limit has been reduced from 100 to 50.
18th October 2024
Change
