Available via the Hideout, with more details forthcoming in our Store Update, Chroma dynamically reflects across all levels of a weapon's progression. Users can preview this vibrant addition within the Hideout, showcasing its adaptability across unlocked skin levels.
The Dragunov DMR Fires Back

The Dragunov, a Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) using 7.62mm ammo with a fixed damage of 60, is now available across various game modes. Initially introduced with a probabilistic damage system, feedback led to its removal in favor of enhancing its headshot damage, balancing it with a slower fire rate and heightened recoil, ensuring it remains skill-based and doesn't overshadow Sniper Rifles.
Tactical Gear Is Going Into Storage For Now
Tactical Gear has been temporarily disabled due to player feedback from the 24.1 Update. Developers are reviewing its alignment with gameplay, especially acquisition and performance, and plan to reintroduce it after refinements.
