Greetings, Citizens! We mark a monumental time for the Citizen Conflict universe as we roll out the Alpha 5.0 update, a massive leap forward in our journey. This update is not just about adding content; it's about refining the experience, enhancing gameplay, and introducing features that will redefine how you engage in the battlefield. Let's dive into the details.
New Hero Class: Enter the Brutalizer
The Citizen Zero NFT holders are in for a treat with the introduction of a new hero class - the Brutalizer. This formidable addition brings the adrenaline-pumping class ability, Adrenaline Rush, to the forefront of battle. But that's not all. The Brutalizer's unique ability, Phase Shift, allows them to temporarily phase out of reality. This not only grants them damage reduction and increased movement speed but also flashes enemies phased through, adding a new layer of tactical gameplay.
Class and Abilities Overhaul
- Techsavant's New Class Ability: The grapple hook is making way for Recon Scan, a game-changer for strategic play. This ability triggers two scanning waves that penetrate walls, briefly highlighting enemies and altering the landscape of engagement.
- Gadget Category Update: The reworked grapple hook now finds its home in the gadget category for Brutalizer class heroes, offering new mobility options.
- Zodiac's Jetpack Rework: We've turbocharged the Jetpack ability to align with the fast-paced action of Citizen Conflict, offering much quicker height gain.
- Healing Pulse Enhancement: The Healing Pulse ability now reaches 50% further, expanding its utility and impact in the heat of battle.
- Tactical Sprint: Every player gains access to the tactical sprint, boosting their movement speed by 150% for a brief period. Triggered by double-clicking the "sprint" button, it provides a temporary burst of speed.
Game Mechanics and Visual Enhancements
- Weapon Rebalancing: We rebalanced all weapons according to the player feedback.
- Dynamic Crosshair: Your crosshair will now react to movement and shooting, providing a more immersive and responsive experience.
- Bullet Travel and Hit Registration: Significant improvements have been made to shooting mechanics and hit registration, making every shot count and feel more satisfying.
- Grenade Polish: The reliability and usability of grenades have been enhanced, ensuring they play a more pivotal role in your tactical arsenal.
- Game Readability: New health bars have been added for better visibility in encounters, aiding not just in combat but also enhancing support roles like healing.
Maps and Modes Expansion
- Visual and Performance Updates: All maps have received a visual and performance overhaul, with some, like Poseidon, being completely remade based on your feedback.
- New and Reworked Maps: From the strategic depths of Pressburg and Elite Enclave to the experimental 1v1 map called Depo, the battlefield has never been more diverse.
Poseidon
Take a step in if you dare. This sleek hotel has been cursed with a dark history and a stench of horrendous crimes plagues its neon-lit walls. Don’t get misled by the fancy looks it poses on visitors. Its lurid history will make you fight or flight. Gear up for the upcoming tournament and burst in. This gig is reserved for Citizens Zero, you go get yours as soon as you can!
Elite Enclave
Its hillside location ushers us to shinier parts of Ether Islands, with a glimpse at the luxurious lives of the social pinnacle. Well, until you broke it. No one can stop the justified rage of citizens when they come out to prowl. Take out your battle-scarred hero and plunder the billionaires' homes.
District
Citizens, muster your courage and raid the corners of this erratic urban jungle. Every corner conceals danger, every alley might be a ruse. Now in its revamped form, District poses a threat only the vilest of all will endure. This District was never meant for the faint of heart.
New Pressburg
Citizen, do you know that Pressburg is a historical name of Bratislava city? Arising again in Citizen Conflict, the new attire of Bratislava brought what the city was always all about — an amalgamation of brutalist Soviet shapes and the glowing lights of the futuristic architecture surrounding a cosy historical center. Embark on the journey of New Pressburg in the latest Citizen Conflict and decide its future.
Depo 03
In this release we ventured into a direction we have never explored before. This inventive minimap sees man-against-man face-off that introduces a high-octane 1v1 hilarity on the Cargo-styled landscape. Brace yourself for the action and face your rival.
Social and Matchmaking Improvements
