Event "Operation Grand: Boot Camp"
Are you ready to complete the entire Boot Camp course and take on daily missions?
We'd like you to present with a new in-game event — "Operation GRAND: Boot Camp" along with the missions which will be updating throughout the whole event. Remember — you'll have only 21 days to prove yourself in both of the game modes Descent and Battle Royale. Those modes will be working nonstop. Unite with your brothers-in-arms and partake in a Clan Race. Prove your skill in the competition!
Get your gear ready! The event is available from August 12 through September 1 to all players with a rating of 500 or higher.
The EVENT CALENDAR
Will there be a chance to earn even more bonuses during Boot Camp? Sir, Yes Sir! Remember to check the EVENT CALENDAR and keep upgrading your gear. Pay attention to how it works:
- Each EVENT CALENDAR slot unlocks every day at 10:00 UTC.
- There is no need to worry if you missed a day. Bonuses from previously opened slots can be claimed to your account at any time during the calendar's validity.
- The bonus can be either a free item or an offer with a huge discount.
- A free item can be claimed only once per account.
- An offer with a huge discount can be purchased only once per account.
- After claiming the item on the Market be sure to check the inbound messages in your in-game "Inbox" to add the received item to your account accordingly.
The Event Rewards
Besides the EVENT CALENDAR's extra rewards there's also a 30-level Elite Event Pass. As you progress through it, you will be able to claim the following rewards:

The following rewards will be available to you after completion of the Clan Race based on your success:

The 15 day-marathon is coming back. During it, you will be able to acquire the resources allowing you to progress through the Event Pass levels as well as some other rewards. And don't forget about the 3 stages of the Community goal — there are useful resources that may be given for completing each of the stages! Each and every gift sent to other players will contribute to the achievement of the Community Goal.

Gameplay Changes
UCHEBNAYA STATION Map Updates
We continue to gradually update the maps in the map pool, and now it's the turn for the UCHEBNAYA STATION:
- Optimized game performance while playing on the map.
- Fixed the rocket monument. Now you can't pass through it.
- Improved the disappearance of buildings in the spawn area on the bank side.
We'd like you to get some new experiences from playing on that map, so we improved the global lightning. We also made some significant changes to the objects on the map — they got visually updated.
Come join the match and see all the changes for yourself!
Updated Format For Displaying Upgrades For Special Weapons with Long-Term Effects
We made some adjustments to the format for displaying upgrades for the Special Weapons with long-term effects. Those changes won't affect the game balance — they were applied to the visual information displaying part only. Now you will be able to see the correct information on this type of gear which should make it easier for you to get the idea of the chosen weapon's upgrading capacity.
Let’s take for example TASER. Now with the new format TASER's slowdown value will be displayed more accurately, as you upgrade.
The new format is available for the following weapons:
- RAZOR WIRE
- MOLOTOV COCKTAIL
- GAS GRENADE
- TASER
AI Updates
AI became a little smarter. Now they'll be able to switch to a Secondary Weapon in some situations and will be less likely to run straight at the player.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the issue due to which an operator's card was showing the wrong level on the Combat Reward screen (thanks to Mauzer).
- Fixed MCMEAN's effectiveness in clan missions (thanks to double comma).
- Fixed the issue due to which the alternative reward displayed in certain Elite Battle Pass slots before the main reward was unlocked.
- Fixed the issue due to which a clan tag was duplicated in the killfeed in the training mode.
- Fixed the issue due to which David's reload speed was becoming abnormal when using MRA3-6.
