• Added Easter Eggs-Animals and classic Easter Eggs of two types. Easter eggs will be in the game until January 7 (23.59.59 Moscow time). It is useless to look for them on private servers!

The chance of Easter eggs appearing depends on the number of players on the server (the key values ​​are 5, 8, 10, 12 players on the server). The minimum chance of appearing is with 5 players. The maximum chance of appearing is with 12 players or more;

The chance of animal Easter eggs appearing is from 4% (with 5 players on the server) to 20% (with 12 or more players on the server);

The chance of large Easter eggs appearing is from 4% (with 5 players on the server) to 20% (with 12 or more players on the server);

The chance of small Easter eggs appearing is from 10% (with 5 players on the server) to 50% (with 12 or more players on the server);

The mechanics of Animal Easter eggs - one of the players turns into an Easter egg, and the rest begin to hunt him! The task of the transformed one is to survive in order to receive a reward of 250 coins. If you fail to survive, the reward will be divided between the hunters in proportion to the damage caused. You have 5 minutes to hunt. If the map changes during the event, no one will receive a reward. Easter eggs spawn in all modes except Zombie mode;

Big Easter eggs mechanics - they disappear 60 minutes after they appear, and the reward of 500 coins is divided between the players in proportion to the damage caused. The one who killed the Easter egg will receive an additional bonus: 20 grenades, 20 bumblebees, 20 mk3, 20 m202! Easter eggs spawn in all modes;

Little Easter eggs mechanics - they disappear 30 seconds after they appear, and you can knock out from 5 to 15 coins from them. Easter eggs spawn in all modes;

Easter eggs are not tied to a time frame, as it was in previous years, when Easter eggs could appear exactly at 00, 10, 20, etc. minutes of each hour. Different types of Easter eggs can appear on one server at the same time, but Easter eggs of the same type cannot appear more often than once every 5 minutes. Easter eggs cannot appear if there are less than 5 players on the server. The chances of appearance are indicated above. The time between the appearance of Easter eggs is calculated randomly;
