Jiangshi has a frightening reputation even by the Syndicate standards. Like the walking dead from Chinese folklore, whose name he bears, this killer cyborg knows no pity, no mercy, no compassion, and can only bring death and destruction. Everything human was cut out of him a long time ago and replaced with the most advanced electronics available to the Syndicate. His dead eyes look impassively at the world, seeing only the order shining right in front of his face. The order he is incapable of resisting, being nothing more than an instrument. The executioner’s axe, designed for the most dangerous enemies of the Syndicate. Rough, irresistible power and unlimited persistence of the living dead are his calling cards.

Jiangshi will complete the task and return with a victory. Unlike those who dare stand in his way.

• In-game coins are now purchased in the game for crosscrowns.

• Additional parts will not be rewarded to the players who have purchased “The Creation” pack and have already received these parts.

Rare parts

Shotgun “Spitfire”

Optimal range reduced by 20%.

Developer comment: Shotgun “Spitfire” had an excessive effective range of fire, which limited the ability to counteract it by breaking the distance.

Special parts

Machine gun “Sinus-0”

Minimum spread in motion increased by 66%.

Developer comment: “Sinus-0” was too efficient on maneuverable armoured vehicles, in particular on the vehicles with hovers.

Small caliber cannon “Median”

The physical size of the projectile has been reduced by 75%.

Developer comment: Thanks to this change, the weapon’s projectile will be more likely to hit parts deep in the target’s structure, with less probability of “catching” protruding parts.

Epic parts

Plasma gun “Quasar”

Now the size of the flying lightning ball increases with time.

Developer comment: This change is intended to increase the chances of hitting the target when shooting at long range. In turn, this will simplify the use of the weapon’s perk.

Minelayer “Kapkan”

Mine durability reduced by 25%.

Developer comment: Thanks to this change, it will be easier to get free of the activated “Kapkan” mine or destroy it in advance.

Crossbow “Phoenix”

Projectile speed increased by 35%.

Developer comment: Now “Phoenix” will become easier to use at medium or long range.

Shotgun “Thunderbolt”

• Now to increase the weapon’s damage, you need to drive 30 m, instead of 40.
• Now the perk increases the damage by 33%, instead of 25%.
• Now the perk’s effect stacks up to 3 times instead of 4.
• Damage reduced by 8%.

Developer comment: “Thunderbolt” shotgun’s damage was too high for its PS level. The enhancement of its perk is intended to encourage players who actively maneuver around the target.

Drone “Yaoguai”

Time before the drone starts attacking is reduced by 50%.

Developer comment: This change will simplify the use of the drone in battle.

Grenade launcher “Thresher”

• Ammunition increased by 53%  (115 pcs. instead of 75).
• Projectile speed increased by 13%.

Developer comment: Increasing the base ammunition will reduce the dependence of an armoured vehicle with “Thresher” on ammo modules, increasing its chances of survival. Projectile flight speed is increased to simplify the game at mid-range, using the weapon’s perk.

Crossbow “Spike-1”

The physical size of the projectile has been reduced by 75%.

Developer comment: Thanks to this change, the weapon’s projectile will be more likely to hit parts deep in the target’s structure, with less probability of “catching” protruding parts.

Cabin “Omnibox”

• Reduced the effect of mass on the acceleration of the car.
• The power bonus from the perk is reduced from 50% to 20%.
• Now the mode switching time is 1.25 seconds (instead of 1.75 seconds).

Developer comment: The changes are intended to reduce the effectiveness of super maneuverable armoured vehicles with an “Omnibox” cabin. Switching time between its modes is reduced to allow players to respond to changes in the combat situation with greater convenience.

Cabin “Ghost”

Bonus damage from the perk increased from 1.5% to 2.5%.

Developer comment: As you know, we are currently reworking the visual model of the “Ghost” to make the cabin more convenient for use. Meanwhile, while this reworking is in progress, we are enhancing the cabin’s perk.

Cabin “Aggressor”

Now the charge accumulates for every 25 meters passed (instead of 30).

Developer comment: The enhancement of the cabin’s perk is designed to simplify its use in combat.

Defence module “Argus”

Now the module’s cooldown is 14 sec. (instead of 17 sec. before).

Developer comment: The change is intended to increase the efficiency and popularity of the module.

Rolling-based movement part “Omni”

Now the penalty to the movement part’s power is 12% (instead of 16% earlier).

Developer comment: This change will increase the mobility of armoured vehicles with this movement part.

Auger “Meat Grinder”

• Now the penalty to the movement part’s power is 28% (instead of 35% before).
• Improved surface grip.

Developer comment: This change will increase the mobility of armoured vehicles with this movement part.

Hover “Icarus VII”

PS increased from 420 to 480.

Developer comment: “Icarus Vll” is too effective at relatively low levels of PS, and this change is intended to fix this.

Legendary parts

Crossbow “Toadfish”

The physical size of the projectile has been reduced by 75%.

Developer comment: Thanks to this change, the weapon’s projectile will be more likely to hit parts deep in the target’s structure, with less probability of “catching” protruding parts.

Plasma gun “Pulsar”

The blast radius from the perk now increases by 0.28 m (instead of 0.25 m earlier).

Grenade launcher “Retcher”

• The pulse from blast radius is reduced by 20%.
• Damage reduced by 10%.
• Now the bonus from the perk is 230% (instead of 200% earlier).

Developer comment: The reduction of damage and impulse from the projectile explosion is intended to reduce the effectiveness of firing from the “Retcher” at close range. The damage remained the same when firing at a distance of 30-40 meters.

Cabin “Machinist”

• Now for every 1000 pts. of durability, the durability of the weapon mounted on the cabin increases by 8% (instead of 5% earlier).
• The maximum bonus is now 25% (instead of 20% earlier).

Developer comment: With this change, we want to increase the efficiency of the cabin.

Relic parts

Pulse accelerator “Scorpion”

The physical size of the projectile has been reduced by 75%.

Developer comment: Thanks to this change, the weapon’s projectile will be more likely to hit parts deep in the target’s structure, with less probability of “catching” protruding parts.
