The time has come for all of us to unite... unite in checking the shop update of Ice and Fire. Ten guns of "Icebreaker" and "Earth Shaker" series will keep watch in store till the 24th of April. All of them are available both through Random Kredit Boxes and Direct Sale.
Do you want to burn your enemies to ashes? Or you prefer them to feel the inescapable embrace of true cold? With these guns you can do both!
And after 10 000 (with any weapon) and 15 000 (with specific weapon) incinerations / freezes you will also get bonus achievements to complement those smug actions of yours.
Iron Bank of Braavos has acknowledged the importance of your struggle against the enemy and graciously agreed to provide the required war funds.
But let’s cut to the chase, it’s an entire million of Kredits for the taking, and you’ve got to get your share! Better hurry up, the Kredits are running out!
Let’s break it down quickly: everyone that buys Kredits will receive an entire 25% extra to their Kredit purchase. For example, if you buy 1000 Kredits, you will receive not just a thousand, but 1250. At the same time, the counter’s going to go 250 Kredits down.
In the last update "Spectre" gear series was introduced with helmets and gloves of "Gamma" squad. Very soon the collection will be expanded with vests and boots of the same squad as wel as "Delta" gloves and boots. Gather the full collection!
New "Spectre" items!
Item stats differ: they are selected to match the unique gameplay of respective classes. By combining the equipment of different squads, you can fine-tune your character for truly personal experience. You can, for example, equip a helmet and a vest of "Gamma" squad, combining them with "Delta" gloves and boots.
Also, when wearing several items of the same series, a set of bonuses is activated. You can maximize it for a set of four equipped items - helmet, gloves, vest and boots. The bonus granted for equipping two "Spectre" items was described in our previous article on the topic.

Uzkon UNG-12 is here - in Random Boxes. "Galaxy" H&K G28 has also paid us a visit, yet not through Boxes but via a Direct Sale. Tough luck. Both cherries are ready for pick up till the 19th of April.
Uzkon UNG-12
Uzkon UNG-12 shows plenty of promise with accuracy, effective range, damage and rate of fire values — the latter as its forte. Having said that, it falls short of customization features provided by its peers, as the shotgun can only be outfitted with a flash guard that reduces muzzle flash and damage drop beyond its effective range.
The shotgun also comes in three versions: regular, golden and platinum. Golden UNG-12 features increased magazine capacity and rate of fire, while the Platinum counts as a camo for your golden version. By the way, if you find the Platinum skin in a Random Box, you’ll get the golden gun as well!
"Galaxy" H&K G28
When it comes to combat stats, H&K G28 is a totally different breed. The rifle allows its user to be effective at any range, as its unique collimator sight accommodates for medium to close range encounters. Alongside versatility, G28 excels in delivering substantial damage — two shots will be enough to take any target down, while a single headshot will be lethal. To add spice to the mix, this German DMR’s not too needy on recoil and boasts a competitive rate of fire.
The coming update will bring changes to the stats of a range of guns including HArms CQR, Marlin 1894 Custom, SIG MPX SBR Custom, Remington MSR and Maxim 9.
The changes will affect all versions of these weapons, unless otherwise indicated.
HArms CQR
Increased damage to 84 (was 83).
Increased range to 17 (was 14).
Increased damage multiplier to legs.
Marlin 1894 Custom
Increased accuracy in aiming mode (when walking or standing).
SIG MPX SBR Custom
Decreased damage drop at distance.
Decreased recoil.
Slightly increased minimal damage.
Slightly increased accuracy in aiming mode.
Remington MSR
Increased clip capacity to 10 (was 7).
Increased ammunition to 60 (was 42).
Increased damage multiplier to legs.
Golden Remington MSR
Increased clip capacity to 12 (was 10).
Increased ammunition to 72 (was 60).
Increased damage multiplier to arms.
Maxim 9
Increased clip capacity to 15 (was 10).
Slightly increased accuracy (when walking or standing).
Increased ammunition to 120 (was 80).
Golden Maxim 9
Increased clip capacity to 20 (was 12).
Slightly increased accuracy (when walking or standing).

Please note that the stats indicated above are subject to change per general testing results.
A massive update has hit the store - proceed with caution and scavenge what you can till the 17th of April.
What's on the menu: LWRC SMG-45 in Random Kredit Boxes, direct sale of Golden FN SCAR-H, 30% discount for Glock 18C, Katana and Tactical Axe Random Kredit Boxes as well as, for the first time ever, "Galaxy" weapons skins. Please note that the latter are obtainable via your Inventory provided that you have the regular versions of the corresponding weapons.
LWRC SMG-45
In terms of combat specs, LWRC SMG-45 is a hulkier version of the UMP. It can dish out the highest damage of all Engineer primaries and is capable of killing with a single shot to the head.
Golden FN SCAR-H
FN SCAR-H lives up to its reputation of carrying a full-powered cartridge with a high damage value accompanied by an excellent effective range, and yet it carries on the legacy of the renowned Belgian arms manufacturer, providing superb accuracy and a competitive rate of fire.
"Galaxy" weapons skins
Please remember that weapon camouflage only changes the appearance of your gun and not its stats; you need to have a regular version of the weapon to apply the skin.
Today we start a series of publications uncovering the details of our fight against cheats. In this first article we want to talk about our efforts against the spread of cheats, and later we will highlight more complex aspects. The main purpose of these articles is to answer your questions in as much detail as possible.
FOREWORD
Needless to say that the fight against cheats at the software level is our top priority. It allows us to identify and block offenders, yet also complicates the further development of cheats, reducing their total number on the market. We will speak about this side of our work in the future, while today we talk about our fight at the level of cheat distribution.
The spread of cheats is rarely done by their developers themselves with intermediaries taking the stage. Most often, distributors use widely known resources, e.g. YouTube.
They create channels to sell cheats. Of course, we cannot ignore this fact, and for many months we have been preventing such actions. Complaints are sent monthly to dozens of YouTube channels. But only a part of them is blocked immediately.
There are also some imposters in social networks who pretend to be representatives of the administration to send you a Trojan virus or to steal the game account information. Remember the safety rules!
YOUTUBE AND CHEAT CHANNELS
With YouTube things can go difficult. Each time there is a complex process of copyright verification and determining the proof that these rights were violated. Our success in this direction has been growing. Every month, upon our requests, about fifty channels selling cheats for CIS and EU/NA regions are blocked.
YouTube is not always eager to help, and not always a fair, in our opinion, decision is made. There were cases when previously blocked channels were restored and continued to work. But the hope must not be lost!
YOU CAN HELP, TOO!
The community itself came to the rescue and it seems that a new way to deal with such YouTube channels was found. It happened at the initiative of some popular Russian bloggers.
What did these bloggers call for? They suggested the players to massively flood the channels of cheat distributors and send complaints on behalf of the game community. Before, we did it only on our own, sending one complaint from the official channel. Now, thanks to bloggers, a huge gaming community has joined this fight, and the amount of complaints became impossible to ignore.
It is too early to judge, but the method looks simple and effective. There is no guarantee that YouTube will not unblock the channels of cheat distributors again, as before. But we hope that these actions will be effective, and the number of violators will be significantly decreased.
WHAT ARE THE OTHER VECTORS OF OUR FIGHT?
In addition to the work with the mentioned websites, we also successfully block the websites of violators and their contextual advertising. As you understand - this is not an instant process and there is no magic button. But a huge amount of work in made following this vector.
To achieve a complete victory, the fight with the distributors of cheats is not enough. We will continue to work in various directions.
IN CONCLUSION
We would like, once again, to thank the video bloggers and players for their indifference and initiative. We, on our part, will continue to send daily complaints against the channels of violators, but the result will be much better if players continue to support us in that.
Suspect someone of cheating? Found a cheat channel or website? Report it to us!
Stay tuned for our new articles. We wish you a fair game!
