  • Increased amount of tickets BLUFOR get when a cache is destroyed, now 25 tickets (increased from 10)
  • Decreased amount of cache needed to be detroyed by BLUFOR (7 cache now instead of 10)
  • Tweaked civilian/collaborator rules: (a) no extra spawn penalties unless you get arrested; (b) civilian cannot be run over by vehicles anymore without penalty; (c) getting on a rope/ladder no longer qualifies the civilian/collaborator to be killed; (d) using a medic bag no longer qualifies the civilian/collaborator to be killed
  • Updated meinsurgent unarmed kit to be considered civilian/collaborator and follow the same rules

Vehicle Warfare (VW)

  • 300 tickets per team to start default (has a config value so it can be changed on private/password matches if needed)
Command and Control (CNC)
  • Tweaked Forward Outpost deployment rules. The objective is to deploy and defend only ONE FO, and simultanously hunt and destroy the enemy FO. Destroying the enemy FO (while your FO is still deployed) will cause the enemy to bleed tickets

  • Updated CNC win conditions: Both teams have 10 min to setup the FO before the checks for ticket bleed start. Once your FO is destroyed and the enemy still has theirs, your team will have ticket bleed. You can stop the bleed by rebuilding the old FO, or deploying a new one some other place.
  • Updated CnC default ticked bleed to be 1 ticket every 5 seconds; there is now an enemy ticket bleed multiplier, the further away your FO is deployed in relation to your ACV/Command Post, the faster ticket bleed the enemy will have (starts at 1000m with 1 ticket per second, to 4500m+ with 8 tickets per second)
  • Updated CnC when losing the FO your team will lose 50 tickets
Skirmish (SKM)
