Friends!

The "Treasure Hunters" season is in full swing, and the team has finishied the work on a new large-scale update. The key feature of the patch is a new event "Expedition" with the "Brawl" mode. The mode offers several changes, a progressive showcase and new rewards including the Sticky Grenade. Savvy?


On the event screen, you'll see a progress bar with three check-points. A new check-point will unlock at the beginning of the event, at the start of the second and of the third weeks of the event.

By completing the event contracts, you'll earn event points and fill in the progress bar. Once your progress reaches a check-point, you'll get a thematic reward:

• A pistol skin for 500 event points,
  
• A weapon charm for 1,000 event points,
  
• A knife skin for 2,000 event points.

The mode is available on three PvP maps: "Ruins", a new map "Port" and "Yard 2.0".

To win, one of the teams will need to score 350 points, before their opposing team does. If this doesn't happen before the timer runs out, the team that scored the most points wins. But to achieve victory, you will have to fight in pretty unusual conditions with the help of power ups that can completely change the course of the game!

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

"We decided to reduce the impact of the random factor on the match scenario to make the game more comfortable. So now, it'll be more predictable which power ups will spawn next. Two identical power ups will appear simultaneously in pairs," Senior Game Designer.

If you're quick enough, you'll be able to pick up special boosters that will give you truly incredible abilities and turn you into one of the special classes:

• Rocketman. You get a rocket launcher with an unlimited number of ammo that recovers over time. You'll still have your regular weapon and get additional protection from explosions.
  
• Pyro. You get a flamethrower and a Molotov cocktail.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

"We thought that it'd be more logical and fun to protect the Pyro from the hellish fire he spreads. So we've designed a new stat that prevents this class from being damaged by the flamethrower or the Molotov. In the same way, Ninja will no longer die after jumping too high," Senior Game Designer.

• Juggernaut. You will become the owner of a heavy machine gun with an unlimited supply of ammo, but you will lose your mobility, and you won't be able to slide, run, jump, squat and help allies double-climb. Your only weak spots left will be your head and the reactor on your back.
  
• Ninja is the complete opposite of the Juggernaut. All your weapons are replaced by a single Katana with increased specs. In addition, your mobility is multiplied by increasing your running speed and the duration of your sprint. You get the ability to climb taller objects without allies' help, and the noise from your footsteps is reduced.

#Discussions_QuoteBlock_Author

"In certain cases, powered up players could become almost immortal when teammates healed them or restored their armour. We've balanced that out as we consider power ups a good survival boost on its own," Senior Game Designer.

In the event, we've added two new power ups.

• Gunslinger is a lone cowboy armed with a powerful revolver that rewards his marksmanship with an instant reload.
  
• Grenadier wields the boosted version of the M32A1. This is a unique weapon, for the first time available in PvP. The M32A1 is a powerful drum magazine grenade launcher that allows the Grenadier to pour a rain of explosives on opponents. Launch six deadly grenade shots at a time to eliminate any opposition!

You'll also take part in the event by completing Special Operations "Anubis", "Blackout" and "The HQ". The event currency is granted only for the first successful mission completion of the day.


Just like in the spring event, "Expedition" offers a showcase with a reward progress bar.




By using Black Market Coins, you can refresh items in the showcase. Each refresh activation adds to the progress bar. When 100% is reached, you'll get an exclusive offer to get one of four valuable items for free.

After making your choice, the other items become no longer available, the progress bar resets, and you can fill it up again and reach a new offer. The amount of offers is unlimited. The items for special offers are chosen randomly and may repeat.


Among the event rewards, you'll find weapons of the new "Relic" series including the HK433, Kalashnikov USA KHAOS, Beretta PMX and OTs-48K MK2 as well as thematic achievements. To get the weapons, you'll need to collect special cards by purchasing them in the event showcase for Black Market Coins.

[expand type=more]




[/expand]

Once the event is over, all Black Market Coins will expire. Don't forget to spend your savings!



This is a universal weapon that fits all classes. The Sticky Grenade will be a reliable assistant even in the most difficult situations and will help leave a mark on the battlefield. You can forget all about the preparations for the grenade throw, this new device doesn't require you to pull the pin, so you can instantly use it for a wide range of tactical manoeuvres. Just throw, stick and go.






On the Black Market, you'll be able to acquire the new weapon series "Treasure" including the Cobalt Kinetics EDGE Rifle, Cobalt Kinetics Stealth Pistol, Sidewinder Venom and the Cobalt Kinetics Twenty-Seven as well as other cool items.

July — the sun is scorching hot, and the sea is gently humming just across the street. But don’t get fooled by the idyllic scenery, as Blackwood and Warface chose this quaint Caribbean port town to battle for control over important trade routes. Fight on the streets by the brilliant blue sea under the shade of palm trees, pass by the trusty cargo crane and the old town hall. And check out the backyard of that unsuspicious building just to its side, it might be important.

Let’s see what the map has in store for you. On the top-down view you can find the key positions, vantage points and double-climb sites. Keep in mind that the enemy comes prepared as well. Good luck!

A new agent has joined the ranks of Engineers as part of the "Treasure Hunters" season. Maria Alvarez aka Agent Sierra is a living legend among smugglers — she brings people across the Mexican border. She has only two principles: not to get involved in drug smuggling and human trafficking.

Seasonal Promo Page


Maria was born to a poor Mexican family. Her parents barely made ends meet, but still managed to raise some money in a few years to pay the guides and try to illegally move to the United States. But on the night when the Alvarez family was crossing the border, a terrible storm broke out, and almost everyone who was with Maria died. Maria survived by a miracle and was adopted by distant relatives from New Mexico who helped her to obtain legal status.

Maria spent all her free time working as a volunteer helping fellow citizens who like her were able to illegally cross the border get settled. A little later, she began to help them in this risky business, and in a few years, she helped hundreds of people emigrate from Mexico. She was charging much less than other guides for her services, and she did not have a single serious incident. Her rivals in this dangerous business (among whom were those who once brought her family across the border) started hunting Maria, but she managed to slip away every time.

After a time, Alvarez began to smuggle not only on the US-Mexico border but throughout the region. The constant threat from rivals and law enforcement officers made this once kind and warm-hearted girl tough. She became cold-blooded and rough and had only two principles: not to get involved in drug smuggling and human trafficking. This is also why she has become a real living legend among smugglers.




The weapon series "Smuggler" embodies the style and nature of Agent Sierra. Camouflaged arms covered with woven leaves and vines have an original design that allows you to immerse yourself in the world of smugglers and the wild jungle. The weapons series includes the Taurus CT9 G2, M1911A1 and the KA-BAR Kukri Machete.





Are you a weapon charm collector? We haven't forgotten about you! You'll find a stylish new item in the Agent Sierra set. Decorate your weapons with this exquisite accessory!



The game now features new achievements for eliminating enemies with new weapon models and unique spoils of war designed in Agent Sierra's style. Defeat your enemies with "Smuggler" arms and decorate your profile!


We've added contracts with the new content. Complete tasks to get "Smuggler" weapons, boxes with the Agent Sierra suit, unique achievements, a weapon charm, and other useful items.





In addition, you can get the agent's suit and Smuggler Taurus CT9 G2 by completing tasks on the seasonal promo page.

See you in the game!

The adventure filled seasonal update "Treasure Hunters" is already here and offers activities that you won’t have to dig deep for. In this article, we’ll share what activities you’ll be able to participate in during the season, and what rewards are waiting for you. Just select the section that you want to learn more about.

---

Get ready for some changes in the daily quest mechanic and the progression, brand-new weapon series "Deep" and "Abyss" and contracts for them.

The "Treasure Hunters" Battle Pass will be active until August 21st 2023.




The way the daily quests work has changed. There is now a weekly limit on how many quests the player can take up, namely up to 10 active tasks. The quest slots will be available until this limit is reached. That means that the player can complete all 10 of the quests in one day and wait for the next week to reset the limit, or spread out the tasks throughout the week.

The Battle Pass progression has been extended to accommodate the extra XP players will be getting through daily quests:

• The XP needed to complete the main progression will be raised from 27 525 to 33 035.
  
• The XP needed to complete a class contract will be raised from 21 000 to 29 250.
  
• The XP needed to go through an additional BP level will be raised from 2000 to 2500.

---

The match result display has been reworked in the new Battle Pass. The player can see, by what percentage, their XP is boosted and the sum of all XP they got.

The rest of the Battle Pass mechanics remain the same. In order to get all the guns, you’ll have to take up the challenge of completing 4 class-specific contracts. You'll earn BP XP and complete contracts at the same time, so if you play actively, you'll be able to claim all the guns, as well as accumulate enough coins to purchase parts!

More about the BP

---

The Battle Pass offers several types of rewards:

• for the main progression (camos, weapon charms, permanent secondary weapons and achievements);
  
• for the additional progression (BP coins);
  
• for daily and class-specific contracts (a seasonal weapon box for the former, and BP coins and a cool class achievement for the latter);
  
• weapons and parts in the seasonal shop line-up.

---

The Battle Pass is filled with treasures, inside you will find the "Deep" and "Abyss" weapon series, thematic charms, as well as achievements. With these two series of weapons, you can’t help but smell sea salt and hear the seagulls when looking at them. Wait, are those tentacles? Take out your spy glasses and let's have a closer look!


The series "Deep" incorporates the ocean itself in its design. Decorated with foamy waves and underwater trinkets, this series combines the beauty and the danger of open water. In it, you’ll find the AS Val Custom assault rifle, the AWP sniper rifle, the H&K VP9 Match pistol, the SAR 109T Specs submachine gun, the VEPR VPO-X3 shotgun, and the Push Daggers.


[expand type=more]





[/expand]


The "Abyss" series is as deadly as it sounds: decorated with tentacles, sea moss and ornaments reminiscent of the pirate era, these guns remind you that out in the sea the danger can lurk deep within… In the series, you’ll find the Cobalt Kinetics EDGE Rifle, the Cobalt Kinetics Stealth Pistol, the Cobalt Kinetics Twenty-Seven sniper rifle, the HK433 assault rifle, the Kalashnikov USA KHAOS shotgun, the Katana, the M1911A1 pistol, the Mauser C96 Modern pistol, the OTs-48 sniper rifle, the Taurus CT9 G2 submachine pistol, and the V3 TAC-13 shotgun.

Progression levels remained unchanged. The basic progression chain consists of 25 levels and the additional one consists of 175 (200 levels in total).

New achievements



New charms

---

This is the main currency of the Battle Pass that you can spend in the seasonal shop. There are two ways of earning the BP coins:

• by completing daily and class-specific contracts;
  
• by unlocking the additional progression levels.

Please note: All unspent BP coins will expire by the end of the season and will not be transferred to the next. Keep that in mind and try to use them all up!

---

This season's shop line-up offers two types of rewards: parts that you can get of up to 10,000 pcs., and four excellent guns with mod slots from the "Abyss" series: HK433, Taurus CT9 G2, Kalashnikov USA KHAOS, and OTs-48. Show your opponents that you have no equal from the pits of the ocean all the way to the battlefield!

Both temporary and permanent weapon versions can be obtained with coins in the shop. Parts are sold in batches.

To get permanent weapons, you would need to consequently purchase the preceding temporary versions: the ones for 3, 5, 7, and 9 days (costing 25/50/75/125 BP coins accordingly), the permanent version costs 175 coins, making the overall price for the permanent gun 450 BP coins.

---

The "Treasure Hunters" prestige season will be active until September 13th 2023.

Prestige levels are additional levels (from the 101st to the 1000th) in the progression system that you can unlock as long as the seasonal activity is on. Progressing through the prestige levels is the same as with the regular levels: you play and gain XP for every battle. The only difference is that prestige levels require more XP and are reset each season.

Changes that took place this season:

• the list of level rewards has been updated: it now features golden versions of OTs-14 Groza, Kalashnikov MP-155 Ultima, SAR 109T Specs and Benelli MR1.

---

UPD: The "Treasure Hunters" Ranked Matches season will be active until September 28th 2023.

Changes that took place this season:

• Bans and compensations for early leave. Having a player leave the match and contribute to the loss of the entire team is frustrating. However, there are cases when a player has to leave a match for, say, technical reasons. There is no need to indiscriminately punish the leaver and the team that had to play through a game with one less teammate. Now, the game considers different scenarios both for the player, who’s left the match, and the team, who’s had a player leave.
  
• New items in the seasonal shop.

We've covered the detailed changes to the RM in this article.

Quick reminder: the ranked currency for the seasonal shop does not expire and will be transferred to the next season.

Have a good game!

Friends!

Very soon, a new “Treasure Hunters” season will become available in the game! You’ll delve into a treasure hunting adventure with smugglers, bounty hunters and sailors in the Caribbean tropics. The summer season in Warface will offer new weapons, agents and features. Learn more about upcoming content and stay tuned for future updates!



Considering your feedback about long matchmaking, we’ve developed a new feature, queue timer. It aims to reduce the average matchmaking time and make matchmaking more predictable and comfortable for you.

The game will display waiting time for a match in all modes with matchmaking (PvP, PvE, Ranked Matches, special operations). We hope that this feature will reduce the number of players who cancel match searches, and, thus, improve the matchmaking time.

The timer will reflect the average match searching time in the global search, not on the regional servers.




In this update, you’ll find changes to the bans and compensations system for leaving the match early, as well as improvements to the match cancellation system, in case there aren’t enough players or some leave after the game has already started.


Having a player leave the match and contribute to the loss of the entire team is frustrating. However, there are cases when a player has to leave a match for, say, technical reasons. There is no need to indiscriminately punish the leaver and the team that had to play through a game with one less teammate. Now, the game considers different scenarios both for the player, who’s left the match, and the team, who’s had a player leave. So, let’s look at them:


This is the best case scenario. You manage to return to the match before the allotted time and play normally. You and your team get rewarded in full in case of victory, and lose full points in case of loss.


You’ve tried your best, but didn’t make it back on time. In this case, if your team wins, all the team members get full rewards. But if they lose, they receive a compensation for having a player leave early. That means that, while you lose the full amount of Ranked points, your team only loses half.


If you don’t come back to the match after leaving, you get a ban. But imagine your team wins anyway, so they receive the full amount of points for the victory, and you receive nothing. However, if your team loses, then on top of the ban, you also get the full amount of points deducted, while your team is compensated for playing with a missing player and only loses half the points.



With the new system, there will be no need for an early surrender. Now, the surrender vote will not be available until the 4th round or the 7th match minute.


Sometimes, players fail to connect to the match or leave as soon as it starts. In that case, the game will automatically cancel the match. Here’s how it will work:

After the game starts, there is a specific time window for the players to connect. If one or several players don’t connect to the match within this timespan, the match gets cancelled, and the players neither lose nor gain Ranked points. And if they do connect within a specific timeframe — the match starts normally. After the system has counted up the players and decided that a match needs to be cancelled, the players get notified with a 5-second timer that they will be returned to the RM screen.

Friends!

A new Battle Pass as part of the upcoming season "Treasure Hunters" is now available in Warface! It’s bringing some changes in the daily quest mechanic and the progression, new contracts for brand-new weapon series "Deep" and "Abyss".

Four excellent guns of the "Abyss" series are available in the Battle Pass store: HK433, Taurus CT9 G2, Kalashnikov USA KHAOS, and OTs-48. Show your opponents that you have no equal from the pits of the ocean all the way to the battlefield!

The HK433 is a German modular assault rifle fit for 5.56x45 bullets. It has a number of characteristics similar to the G36 and the HK416. It offers a good combination of specs: high base and minimal damage, high fire rate and accuracy, as well as increased damage multipliers to the head and the extremities. The rifle has a number of unique attachments, including a hybrid sight. The golden version offers better fire rate and a more spacious magazine.



You can install mods on it, unique ones included. The first one increases reload speed by swapping the magazine to a smaller one, and you can unlock it on the second mastery level. The second mod changes the firing mode to bursts-of-3 and boosts damage, whereas the fire rate gets reduced, and the recoil – increased.

The Taurus CT9 G2 carbine is distributed together with a number of unique attachments. The gun’s good damage, range, and fire rate, as well as increased damage multipliers to the head and the limbs, are balanced out by a modest magazine capacity of only 24 bullets. The golden version has a higher fire rate and a bigger magazine.



The first of the weapon’s available mods expands its magazine. The other changes the fire mode to burst-of-3, increases the damage by 15 points and accuracy by 25%, while reducing the fire rate by 10%.

The Kalashnikov USA KHAOS uses a gas-operation system, it offers a better rate of fire, as well as the weapon changing and reloading speeds, compared to the nearest competitors in the medic’s arsenal. The model is available in gold as well, it offers better damage and fire rate.



The unique "Jury-Rigged" mod switches the weapon’s firing mode into bursts-of-2, increases accuracy, yet decreases its damage and range. The other unique mod—"Trick Shot"—significantly increases the gun’s accuracy in jumping and adds extra movement speed.

The OTs-48K MK2 is a Russian sniper rifle developed in the late 90s for special forces soldiers. Compared to its competitors, the OTs-48 MK2 stands out for its high damage, increased body and limbs damage multiplier, and good firing range. The golden weapon version has a more spacious magazine.



The first of the two mods increases the weapon change speed and crosshair stability, while the second increases the dash speed, set off by reduced rate of fire.

In the Battle Pass, you have a chance to to earn up to 10,000 parts to purchase and upgrade mods. You can get them in the Battle Pass store.

---

The way the daily quests work changed. There is a weekly limit on how many quests the player can take up, namely up to 10 active tasks. The quest slots will be available until this limit is reached. That means that the player can complete all 10 of the quests in one day and wait for the next week to reset the limit, or spread out the tasks throughout the week. The limit will be updated every Thursday.

The match result display was reworked in the new Battle Pass. The player will see, by what percentage their XP is boosted and the sum of all XP they got.

---

The Battle Pass progression is extended to accommodate the extra XP the player will be getting through daily quests:

• The XP needed to complete the main progression is raised from 27 525 to 33 035.
  
• The XP needed to complete a class contract is raised from 21 000 to 29 250.
  
• The XP needed to go through an additional BP level is raised from 2000 to 2500.
  
• As in the previous BP, there are 25 basic progression levels and 175 additional ones, totalling in 200 BP levels. As for progression rewards, the system remains familiar: for the main levels, you'll receive achievements, charms, skins and two additional weapons (a cleaver and a pistol), for additional levels - coins for purchases in the Battle Pass store.

New achievements and charms

The rest of the Battle Pass mechanics will remain the same. In order to get all the guns, it will be enough for you to complete 4 class-specific contracts.
