8/2/2024 PLAYER PROTECTION UPDATE We know that Y9S2 has seen an increase in cheater activity, and in this Player Protection Update we will be showing how we are working to reverse this. The journey of Anti-Cheat is a constant back and forth between ourselves and cheat makers, and we are in this alongside our players. We are coming back stronger, and our efforts and passion will not be thwarted.

NEW ANTI-CHEAT DEVELOPMENT TEAM

In Y9S1, we decided that it was necessary to have increased, long-term investment for Siege Anti-Cheat. In response to this, we restructur

I’ve owned the game since launch, played on and off until Operation Chimera when I got obsessed and have 1250 hours in total. Still have not beat Article 5.

Anyone want to team up before it goes away forever? Solo queueing has proven fruitless.

GADGET BALANCING

FRAG GRENADES

GADGET STATS

Fuse system: Removed ability to cook the grenade. Added fuse time reduction after the first bounce. Initial fuse time: 4 seconds (from 5). Reduced fuse time: 2 seconds. We want to bring down the power level of the Frag Grenade to be in line with all the other Secondary Gadgets. Like all the others, it should be a weaker version of a Primary Gadget, such as the Hard Breach Charge for the Hard Breachers or the Bulletproof Camera for the Intel Gatherers. The secondary utility should not compete with or drive more attention than the main ability of an Operator. This change will put the spotlight back on Operators' abilities, and we will have more margin to make them excel in their roles.

We also want to increase the population of Frag Grenades, so more operators can get them without severely affecting their presence. We won't keep this utility as limited as it is right now forever because it conflicts with our intention to give as many option

You know how Fenrir can selectively activate his F-NAT discs? Why can’t any other op with place-and-activate gadgets do that? The main ones that come to mind are breach charges, thermite charges, cluster charges, and gas canisters though I’m sure there are more that I’m forgetting. Imagine if you could see an icon on your HUD for all of your placed gadgets and you could look at it and select it to be the one you want to trigger. Otherwise, the triggered gadget would default to the last one you placed.

I think it would make certain OPs more useful in many different situations, like Fuze and Smoke would be great for traps, and thermite/soft breach charges would be great for distractions and chaotic rushes.

I’d like to know what the community thinks about this; would it be OP for any given gadgets? Would it be extremely useful? Would it be fun?
