Mercenaries!

We are pleased to announce the release of a major update for Hired Ops. It will introduce the long-awaited clan system, as well as a new weapon mastering system. In addition, we have added a new level separation of servers for a more comfortable player experience, and changed the in-match economy for popular modes.

Read a detailed description of the update below:

› Added a clan system.
Clan players will be required to complete daily contracts and weekly challenges, to gain resources and experience, to advance in the clan rankings and develop the clan base, which will improve clan parameters and give passive bonuses to all clan members.


Creation of clans is available for players of level 10 and above. Players can apply to already created clans in the clan ranking.


› Weapon mastering system has been introduced.
Now the availability of weapons of all classes depends on your mastering level. To advance through mastering levels, you must perform weapons tasks - W-Tasks. Already purchased weapons will remain available regardless of the current mastering level. Weapons are divided into 20 mastering levels, prices of some models are changed and adjusted.

› A new division of servers by level has been introduced.
All servers are divided into 4 clusters: 0-10, 11-25, 26-50, 51-100.

› Changed in-match economy for DM, TC, TDS and TE modes.
Each class now has its own wallet, you can no longer earn money playing a stormtrooper and spend it on a scout or sniper›s ult.

› Contracts corporations.
Improved the conditions for generating contracts.
Changed some of the rewards, which could be obtained from the uncommon corporations crates, as well as from the legendary RTW crate.

› Disabled instructor contracts.
We took this mechanic out of the game, perhaps the instructor will return in the future when we rethink its importance in the game's economy.

› Weapon Tasks (W-Tasks).
Removed the requirements to perform tasks on enemies of certain classes, edited tasks.
Added accounting for longshots in W-Tasks on headshots.

› The group leader can now initiate an exit from the server by the entire group, or exit independently while leaving the group.

We are pleased to present the Hired Ops update, which includes new game mode, server improvements and balance changes.

In comments, we ask you to leave your feedback on new game mode. What you liked, what you did not like, what you would like to change or add.

New mode in Hired Ops - Team Skirmish
The goal of the mode is to eliminate enemy team or capture valuable cargo. The first team to win in 7 rounds wins the match.

Each round players start with random weapons and mods, and random modifiers can also be obtained during the game. The rounds are quick and dynamic and there are no respawns. Also, in Team deathmatch mode we have disabled the In-match Store and the influence of skills from global leveling.

The new mode is now available on three maps: Port5, Industrial Zone and Evacuation. A little later we will update the mode for other maps as well as add new maps!

In addition to the new mode, this update will bring an improved network code - the desynchs have been fixed for high ping players and the frequency of packets sent from server to client has been increased.

Changes in balance:

• G18 - reduced spread, increased hip fire accuracy, reduced side sway intensity when firing.
  
• G33 - reduced spread, increased hip fire accuracy.
  
• S3000 - increased range.

• HALO - changeable multiplicity of optics added.
  
• Range and penetration penalties for silencers that have those penalties have been reduced.
  
• H153, H150, PL-4 - range bonus reduced.

Other changes:

• Redistributed items available in INFREQUENT and RARE corporate crates. The chance of mode drop from them has been increased to 50%.
