The upcoming major update will bring completely new abilities and items that will make battles even more intense.

Today there are four kinds of mystic powers to be used in the game: personal special abilities, traps, rituals and effects of clothing and talismans. The first three require usage of sinner souls - a resource you get for killing opponents. Also traps and rituals can be used via consumable scrolls without paying in souls or even a need to unlock those powers beforehand in the workshop.

Rituals affect all players on the map and traps - only those who trigger them.

The update will add signs - that affect their user, - and hex bags - a way to make throwable traps.

After usage, every sign puts an effect on your champion: it can be healing, stamina regeneration, run speed, loot screening or even a forward jump.

Signs do not consume sinner souls! You just need to wait for the cooldown to use it again.




Throw a hex bag as a grenade and it will immediately activate at the hit spot. It might be something similar to traps: enemy slowdown, health depletion, zombie summoning, etc. There are also some special variants like a special ability to blockade and an attractor pulling all enemies onto the hit spot.

To use a hex bag in a battle you must first find an empty bag in the loot or get it from challenges. Bring the empty bag to a bonfire and you’ll be able to craft hex bags according to the pre-equipped recipe. You need no other ingredients. Recipes themselves will be available to study separately and are equipped in the customization menu.




Now you can dress any way you like without taking into consideration the special powers of masks, panties or talismans! These special powers are now delivered by your Spirit Guardians and they do not care how you dress. These guardians are a special kind of entity to be studied and unlocked. You can equip up to three different guardians with powers that you need in battle.

If you already own some clothes with powers, you will not lose them. After the update you will be given Spirit Guardians with the same effects as you had in your masks, talismans and underwear.




Traps will also work without using your sinner soul balance in a battle. You will be able to use them again after an appropriate cooldown time. Otherwise they will work in the same way as do now, creating special effects locally after contact with the target.

Rituals remain absolutely the same as currently: affecting all champions on the map and requiring sinner souls for activation.

It is easier to choose what to equip or if you can equip more. In the new system of powers you will be able to equip your champion for each battle:

• 3 spirit guardians
  
• 1 special sign
  
• 3 traps
  
• 2 rituals
  
• 1 hex bag recipe
  
• 3 single-use mystic scrolls
  
• Champion special ability

Which means up to eleven different options that can be used on the battlefield!

All champions exposed to the burning rays of an overheated Sun will start to lose health. Only hiding under a roof or in the shadows can save your life. Pity those caught out in the open.

After this ritual is activated, every champion will get a fully functional ghost Jetpack until the end of its duration. Use it to move quickly and storm any enemies from above before they land on your head.

This trap creates a mannequin to distract enemies, especially from distance. Combine it with a bush-trap or an ice shield - and you will be guaranteed to catch the enemy's focus whilst preparing your ambush or giving you some time to maneuver.



A huge swarm of aggressive fireflies surrounds anyone falling into this trap, unmasks them and obstructs their vision.

Twilight comes to Cuisine Royale - so it’s time to smash pumpkins! From October 29th until November 5th take part in especially gloomy fights and get a unique hat for your collection!

All fights during these days will be in either twilight or night, full of terror and surprises. Time to use flares and lights, look out for cigars glowing in the dark and hold your nerve while spirits try to ambush you.

During the event you can also buy a special reward chest for golden crowns in the in-game shop. Here you might get some mystic scrolls to summon zombies or darkness. Also that chest can reward you with a special hat - the infamous jack-o’lantern helmet! You are guaranteed to get it from one of the first 15 chests opened.

Also, as per your previous requests, we have made the darkness of night much more easy to navigate by making near objects highly seen even in the worst lightning conditions. So go for it, smash some pumpkins!

• A vulnerability that allows firing without ammunition consumption has been fixed.

With the big update we are also introducing new temporary combat modes.

The new type of events will be regularly launched in Cuisine Royale and during those events all rules and conditions for battles might change. Available loot, Dark Zone size and behavior, number of players, and other rules and mechanics - all can vary.

During events you will be able to choose your game mode either to go into regular battle, or participate in the event.

Currently we have prepared three versions of these events we would like to introduce with the major update release:

Only grenade launchers, mortars, grenades and other items to make bada-boom are in the loot! To increase mobility we have also added a lot of jetpacks around the map.

Explosive mid-short range combat and lots of fun when occasionally blowing yourself up is guaranteed.

The Dark Zone is not only shrinking as usual, but also it’s center is moving constantly all around. Finally a way to say ‘NO’ to safe center camping and sniping! Also those who love teleport usage should adopt new tactics accordingly.

You’ll be amazed by the number of gold coins in the loot. Until you realise that these are the only items available for looting! Plus significantly increased numbers of slot machines where you’ll need to win your weapons. Play for the win or die barehanded!

Oh, yes, and naturally cool rewards will wait for those participating in event battles!

Today marks the start of a new event in Cuisine Royale! Accompanying the new Leagues leaderboard season are epic rewards, so now is the time to go for them!

At the end of the Leagues season, the best players will be awarded and each winner will receive not only the maximum prize for their achieved level, but also all prizes from the lower levels. The top rewards will be calculated irrelevant of the game mode, so you can play solo, duo or squads - the choice is yours.

Also, starting from the second week of the event, all active players will receive a regular supply of Mystic Scrolls and Flare guns depending on their position in the leaderboard.

Today, at the start of the new Leagues event (15:00 GMT), all positions and leagues will be reset for all players. So, it’s time to fight for the top!



The current challenges and rewards will be extended until mid-November, as we require more time to prepare and release the largest update in the game’s history (keep an eye on the news!).

For those who play on PC: all new Leagues rewards will be tradable on the Gaijin Market. Have you managed to get some? Go trade your extras! Unable to achieve a particular desired item? Look for it there - it might be for sale.

In Normandy, Mexico and on the misty Island of Siberia in the upcoming large update you will find many new handy weapons.


RD 44 — a later modification of the well known Degtyarev Machine Gun. Just imagine: you’ll have a 100-round magazine! Recoil is pretty strong, but you can control dispersion after getting used to it.



PPS-42 — a soviet quick firing SMG with quite a low dispersion. Regardless, it is more precise in bursts than any competing PPSH. You’ll have a 35-round magazine - not bad for any encounter.



MP-38 — the father of the famous MP-40! Most of the technical innovations used later were introduced here, so this SMG is not any worse in any aspect of shooting. Actually, the only difference from the MP-40 is the buttstock shape and difficulty in mass production.



PTRD 1941 — another anti-materiel gun for those with steady hands. As well as with PzB, you have only one shot before reloading, but the reloading process itself is faster than with its German counterpart.



M1A1 carbine — the marine modification of the renowned M1 Carbine with a folding stock. Even the magazines and ammo are the same, so it’s pretty handy to loot one!



Nagant 1895 — the famous revolver which served well even for the Russian Czar Empire. Reliable and easy to handle. Features a 7 round cylinder and a fast rate-of-fire for a revolver.



Leuchtpistole 34 — originally a flare gun from 1934 converted into a compact grenade launcher with some special types of ammunition. In Cuisine Royale it will come with the Wurfgranate Patrone 326 for direct shooting and contact fuse for guaranteed kill of an enemy of light-armored vehicles.



Did you miss our news on dread inducing new types of weapons coming?

The explosive radius of mortar grenades is larger than that of explosion packs. The flamethrower can burn down a whole enemy squad, your friends and yourself with just one charge. Also, armor gives no protection against flames.

Read more about this weapon in our devblog here.

• The footstep sounds of your squad members have become quieter in order for you to hear enemy footsteps more clearly.
  
• A melee kill will no longer show the ‘Headshot’ notification.
  
• A bug has been fixed where teammate hearts might drop through objects if they had been killed inside buildings.
