The 4th season of the Premier mode has officially started, and with this season, the developers have made many changes to the weapon balance, movement mechanics and the available map pool. This update aims to provide players with a more balanced and enjoyable experience by deeply affecting the competitive structure of the game.
Radical Changes in Map Rotation
One of the most striking aspects of the update was the changes made to the map rotation in the Premier mode. The Train map was removed from the Premier pool and the Anubis map was added instead. The Anubis map has received several targeted adjustments and improvements to meet players' expectations. These changes enable the map to offer a more balanced and strategic gaming experience.

Additionally, the MP7 and MP5-SD's damage values have been slightly increased, while their range loss penalties have been reduced. These changes allow players to use weapon options more flexibly.
Movement Mechanics and Sound Effects
The update also affected in-game movement mechanics. Jump timings have been improved and jumping moves no longer affect stamina. Additionally, equipment sound effects have been completely reworked. The sound of removing weapons, knives, and ancillary equipment has been revamped and separate sound effects have been added for knife attacks. These changes enable the game to offer a more realistic and immersive experience.
New Maps and Removed Maps
With the update, four new user-created maps have been added to the game: Warden, Stronghold Alpine, Sanctum and Poseidon. These maps offer players the opportunity to try new strategies and play styles. However, the Golden, Palacio, Agency and Rooftop maps have been completely removed from all modes. These changes aim to offer players a fresher experience by renewing the game's map pool.
