Coliseum adjustments

NA, NEA, SEA

To resolve matchmaking issues and prevent matches from failing to start due to a low player count in the NA, NEA, and SEA regions, we have implemented the following changes:

• disabled the option to start Free Play mode;
• increased rewards for playing in the Fair Fight mode.

General changes

• Increased penalty for completely wiping out a squad from 10% to 15% of command points.
• Reduced throw force in antigravity fields.
• Antigravity barrels now also accelerate flying bullets by 50% (similar to the Tank's ability grenades).
• Reduced damage dealt by explosive barrels from 310 to 250.
• Reduced blast radius of explosive barrels from 3 to 1 meter. The total radius and minimum damage have not changed.
• Added new mode statistics: overall and current K/D ratio, games played, wins, kills, deaths, rifts captured, batteries deployed, installations charged, enemies detected, combat points, support points, objective points, and player respawns.
• Fixed an issue that allowed players to bring grenades into a match.
• Toggleable items are now reset to their default state at the end of the round.
• Disabled the ability to open the inventory in the mode.

Tank

• Reduced the Self-Destruc ability's full-damage radius from 5 to 3 meters.
• Reduced the Stimulator's speed bonus from 50% to 40%.
• The recharge time for the Stimulator has been increased from 25 to 35 seconds.
• The item's animation no longer plays when the High Gravity Aura ability is activated.

Phantom

• Interaction with the Installation and the revival marker is prohibited while the player is in another dimension.
• Updated visual effect for a cluster grenade explosion.
• Stasis anomaly now kills a player who is under the effect of the Escape to the Inside Out ability.

Specialist

• The number of Tranquilizer rounds has been reduced from three to two.
• The recharge time has been increased from 8 to 10 seconds.
• A hit from the Tranquilizer now also marks the enemy with a scanner for 1 second.
• Reduced damage from Psionic Mine from 200 to 125.
• The mine's blast radius has been increased from 3 to 4 meters.
• The maximum number of mines that can be deployed at one time has been reduced from three to two.

Matchmaking

• On the NA, SEA, and NEA servers, players and groups of up to three people now share a common queue. The separate queue for groups of three players has been disabled.
• When a player joins a queue, they and their party members are automatically removed from other matchmaking queues and the preliminary Operations search.
• The display of the estimated match wait time has been updated.
• Fixed a bug that caused players who had not declined to confirm a match to be blocked from searching.
• If a player declines a match that has been found, only the player who declined it will now receive a penalty.
• Once the confirmation period has ended, only players who have not confirmed their participation will be penalized.
• Fixed an issue where gear could remain locked after a canceled match.

Interface

• Updated the team color schemes:

  allies are now always displayed in blue color;

  enemies are assigned one of four distinct colors.

• The new color scheme is used in the HUD, match confirmation window, statistics, closed lobby, and battle results.
• Added new team icons to the match confirmation window.

Fixes

• Fixed being able to teleport inside walls and other level geometry using a teleport grenade.
• Fixed battery duplication.
• Fixed the behavior of temporary items and active abilities when receiving a battery or a respawn marker.
• Interacting with batteries, stations, respawn markers, and canisters now correctly interrupts the animation of the currently used item.
• Items obtained from barrels are now correctly considered to be tied to their location.
• Fixed the display of information about modules, attachments, and artifacts in player profiles.

Sound and localization

• The English voiceover is linked to the speaker volume setting.
• Added Spanish and Korean versions of the mode guide.

Modules changes

• Modules are now automatically removed from a weapon when it is sold, deleted, or used in a barter.
• Weapon modules can now be rearranged by dragging and dropping them directly in the inventory, without opening the upgrade window. This feature is available only in safe zones with a personal storage access.

Other changes and fixes

• Fixed an issue where weapons were not being painted correctly with one-color paints, which occurred after the previous update.
• Fixed an issue where Arsenal's available inventory was displayed incorrectly during the first 5 hours after midnight.
• Gladiator motif is now also compatible with the Albatross Heavy Assault Exoarmor.
• Fixed an issue where the underbarrel attachment and silencer, which come standard on the FAMAS G2 SG, could not be removed.
• Fixed multiple naming inconsistency bugs.
• Fixed multiple translation inconsistency bugs.
• Fixed the translation of several characters and legacy items.
