Maintenance has been completed.
We apologize for the prolonged duration of the maintenance, and thank you for your understanding.

During the maintenance, the below have been applied.

• 
  ARMS RACE mode tweak
  Hard to become a silent assassin against opponents armed with rifles?
  Stack up many kills with melee may be fun but challenging. So we put aside this infinite melee trial for the melee mode at custom. Also, the trail of weapons has been elaborated.
  But be careful. You need to jump scare your opponents at least once under the tough condition below.
  To add some fierce scent of final pitch, the player of highest score from each team will be shown with the red borderline. Right, that one you see when you get killed. Of course you can see the player through anything as same as at the time you got killed. That will be activated when a point leader reaches 30 or more.
  
  
• Clan Point reset for CLAN EMBLEM EVENT.
  
  
• Server stability improvement

After the maintenance, the followings are obtainable from your inbox.

• 1,000 Autumn Point
  
• 500 BS Coin

They are obtainable till November 7, 2020 UTC.

The latest mode arrives at Black Squad.
ARMS RACE provides the ladder to climb up from the equal footing. In the new mode, all joining players will follow the same, fixed weapon set, and challenge to reach the target score.
The weapon of each step will be changed by month. And if a condition is met, brand-new skin of the weapon is available at the match: first reach, first served.

The mode is added to Quick Match.

• The goal of this 8v8 match is to reaches 40 kills by a player in a limited time.
  
• A designated kills will change your equipped weapon.
  
• A player can equip only the fixed weapon by the designated order. The other weapons cannot be used nor swap to other primary/secondary/melee weapon or grenades. Also it is not possible to pick up a dropped weapon.
  
• If the score does not reach 40 and the time expires, the team of a higher weapon step wins.
  
• If the steps tie, the team of more total kills wins.
  
• When the win is not decided by the conditions above and the total kills of both team tie at the end of the match, an extra time is given. and there is a kill, the win is decided by 'sudden death/golden goal' rules - the team of the kill wins.
  
• The match becomes a draw if there is no kill still and the extra time expires.
  
• The player reaching each step of a weapon first will use the latest skin version of the weapon in the match.
  
• The score shows the most kills by a player of each team, not sum of kills.
  
• The next weapon and kill count to reach the weapon can be found under the score.
  
• When you reach the final step of the weapon, it will show the final goal.
  
  
  
• Missions
  
  • ARMS RACE tab is added to MISSION tab.
    
    
  • Also Daily Mission for ARMS RACE is added.

Future Development Perspective

Please be advised Black Squad market policy is updated not to sell Black Squad items via Steam Community Market from October 29, 2020 after the scheduled maintenance.

This modification is to keep Black Squad service sustainable with the key experience of Black Squad play.

It is the inevitable conclusion to disable the community market. We have reviewed there are any alternative ways, but there is no way to maintain the service compatible with community market under the current market policy. The complete removal of market & trade of Black Squad items is the only option left for us to achieve our ultimate goal to keep you playing Black Squad. That was a tough decision, though, we hope it will keep Black Squad survive and become the ignition of turn over for the future.

The update is scheduled to apply right after the maintenance. An item already on the Steam Community Market will not be affected, but it will turn not marketable once the item is sold, cancelled, or removed.

- Black Squad team

As of October, our items are no longer participating in the Steam community market. To avoid confusion, Valve and Valofe will cancel all outstanding market listings, since those items are no longer resellable. You can continue to shop for items in-game at any time.
This change will take place in 11th of January, 2020.
