■ Tournament System Update
The tournament system will be updated where players will compete against each other to acquire special rewards exclusive to the tournament. The tournament will be held 1 time per week on each server. Please check out the details below.

1. Tournament Period
The tournament will be held in each server at the following times.
2. How to Participate:
Players can apply as party of 1 to 3 during the event period. To register, select the Tournament mode from the game selection menu and press “Start Game” before Round 1 begins.
3. Tournament Format:
Once the tournament begins, players who registered before the start of each round will be automatically matched into teams to proceed with the tournament. Matches follow a pre-announced schedule, with each round occurring every 20 minutes.
Players earn 1 point per round if they win or if they are unmatched due to an odd number of participants. These players qualify for the next round. However, a loss or a draw results in elimination from the current tournament.
To continue to the next round, players must register again before it starts. Teammates will be randomly matched from the remaining participants in each round.
If there are not enough players to form two teams in a round, the remaining participants are all awarded one win, and the tournament ends.

4. Tournament Reward
Rewards are distributed based on the number of wins earned during the tournament. Rank rewards are given to players ranking in 1st to 3rd, while a participation reward will be provided to all other players who did not receive 1st to 3rd place rewards.
All rewards are sent via mail, which expires after 7 days. Please claim them before the mail is deleted.
Medals of Bravery can not be used yet, but it can later be exchanged for the following items through Loot Exchange.
■ Spectator System added to Custom Mode
A new function will be added to Custom Mode, allowing players to enter ongoing or waiting room to spectate as a waiting member. Players can join a room with spectator mode enabled from the room list. Once the match begins, players can click the “Spectate” button to start watching. While spectating, players can select which character to follow using the spectator UI. Players will also be able to view the selected mercenary’s rank, rank score, and level.
■ New Team Deathmatch Map: Collapsed High-rise Logistics Terminal
