Patch 0.9.2655 - Hired Ops

Mercenaries! 

We are pleased to announce the release of a major update for Hired Ops. It will introduce the long-awaited clan system, as well as a new weapon mastering system. In addition, we have added a new level separation of servers for a more comfortable player experience, and changed the in-match economy for popular modes. 

Read a detailed description of the update below: 

› Added a clan system.

Clan players will be required to complete daily contracts and weekly challenges, to gain resources and experience, to advance in the clan rankings and develop the clan base, which will improve clan parameters and give passive bonuses to all clan members.

Creation of clans is available for players of level 10 and above. Players can apply to already created clans in the clan ranking.

› Weapon mastering system has been introduced. 

Now the availability of weapons of all classes depends on your mastering level. To advance through mastering levels, you must perform weapons tasks - W-Tasks. Already purchased weapons will remain available regardless of the current mastering level. Weapons are divided into 20 mastering levels, prices of some models are changed and adjusted.

› A new division of servers by level has been introduced. 

All servers are divided into 4 clusters: 0-10, 11-25, 26-50, 51-100.

› Changed in-match economy for DM, TC, TDS and TE modes.  

Each class now has its own wallet, you can no longer earn money playing a stormtrooper and spend it on a scout or sniper›s ult.

› Contracts corporations. 

• Improved the conditions for generating contracts.
• Changed some of the rewards, which could be obtained from the uncommon corporations crates, as well as from the legendary RTW crate.

› Disabled instructor contracts. 

We took this mechanic out of the game, perhaps the instructor will return in the future when we rethink its importance in the game's economy.
