This update releases completely redesigned network code. This new code allows for a much faster and smoother reconnects "behind the scenes".

Reconnects now happen inivisbly for player - no need to enter the game again after disconnect. This should save you precious time when disconnects happen on your turn. This is especially important when playing phone version on unstable mobile connections.

Let us know if it became better or worse or if there are any connection-related bugs.

This update mainly addresses 120 skill weapons that has been largely unused. This update aims to make unused high level weapons and items more usable and thus making the game more varied and fun.

Today's Changes:

• Pulsator shelter penetration increased to 50%
• Pulsator's Grenade Launcher shelter penetration increased to 25%
  
• Flacker shelter penetration increased to 100%
• Punisher shelter penetration increased to 50%
• Grinder shelter penetration decreased to 75%
• Laser Sword shelter penetration increased to 50%
• All premium ammo now give +5% shelter penetration
• Medikits for 120 skill now have reduced weight down to 14 / 17 / 22
• Rocket Ammo weight increased to 10 / 12
• High Level sniper rifles have minimum damage at lowest range decreased: M90 -> 24, Vykhlop -> 20, Gauss Rifle -> 14
• Dynamite - critical chance increased from 20% to 30%, critical hit power increased from +50% to +100%
  

We have moved to a new more powerful server which is around 20x faster than the old one.

It is located in the Germany now (old one was in the US), therefore connection speed might be slightly different, depending on where in the world you are, however on average this should be faster for everyone.

We have also ported our server software from Windows to Linux which makes our server fees smaller and will future-proof our technology. Everything considered what happened today will allow this game run for another decade or so.

A streak of recent updates has been aimed at imporving experience of new players trying GUNROX for the first time and today's update adds to it as well.

After those updates new players can start the tutorial right away without registration. Early experience has been improved to find opponents faster.

In today's update we have also redesigned interface to remove unnecesary and confusing (to early players) elements until later:

• New game panel as been reworked to be more streamlined and has been placed as first tab.
• Custom games are disabled until level 6 - use random battles
• List of games is hidden until level 6 - use random battles
• Overload units have special icon now to determine which unit is blocking game start
  

In this update we have added a new option for Random Battles - fighting anonymously!

Before you opt in for random battles, you can enable anonymous mode - in this mode when you will find opponent to fight he/she will not be able to know who you are - your names will be hidden and your outfit will be randomized.

Chat is disabled in anonymous games to prevent anonymous insults. Also games info is anonymized in the list of games.

Today we have moved forum to a new platform. Now there should be less problems when logging in as it uses our universal Enkord Account system and the login is the same as login to Enkord webiste to make payments or play web version of the game.

There is a "Name & Portrait" section in Settings now where you can select which team and name you want to display on forums as main. Any player can view other player's profile on forum now and see their list of teams.

Forum update may look like something insignificant, but in fact these new forums are a result of a major internal technical overhaul I have been working on since Winter. These changes will allow us to continue GUNROX support in the future, migrate to new servers, and most importantly - add new features like bots.

Without this update all of that were not possible.

As you have probably knew, we (the team behind GUNROX) is from Ukraine, and thus it is needed to clarify the situation we are in.
While the war with russia is going on for 8 years already, it's been two months since full-scale invasion on 24th of February 2022. Personally, I haven't been moving or running away since that invasion, working on updates for GUNROX. However, the instability of the situation in our country (continuous shelling, missile explosions, etc.) made it risky to deploy updates, because in case when we deploy an unstable update and the internet goes off for a long time due to line being cut, players would be left with broken game for a long time. Fortunately, at the moment the situation is relatively stable in our region (Kyiv) and today we have decided release an update.
On a side note I would like to thank all those players that have been supporting us for these 2 months. Your donations are helping us to pay for servers, continue working on updates and overall support our lives in these troubled times.

Today's Update

This update is a step towards bots and other substantial updates in GUNROX. In order to work on those, a lot of refactoring needs to be done internally and this is what we did. So what's new?

Donations has been doing nice lately which allowed us to fund another update that should make the game more fun for everyone. Thanks for everyone who donated during the last month, you were funding this update by doing so.

In today's update we have changed the way how location size is working. Instead of all maps having fixed size no matter what, from now on any map can have any size, depending of how many players are in battle. For 2 players (1v1) the size would be the same as it was for Lost Beach. For 10 players mega (5v5) the size would be the same as Junkyard ON ANY LOCATION.

Maximum number of players on all locations except beginner's quarter have been increased to 10. Read More...

Since last updates there were increase in donations and as a gratitude for those donations we have decided to make couple of small, but hopefully useful updates.

Today we are introducing new concept:

Prestige Levels Read More...

In order to motivate donations from players who have never donated we have added "First Payment Package" which holds rewards worth 20000 Enkord Cash.

You will receive it if you donate at least for 5000 Enkord Cash and did no donations previously with your game account.

Rewards there are mostly random non-transferable stuff like storage increase, double exp, resets, etc. Therefore there is no point in creating new dummy accounts to get that package. It makes sense to get it for the account you actually use actively.

• Artifact gambling price reduction up to -20%
  
• Complete interface overhaul - too many changes to describe individually, everything became bigger and more readable, should especially help phone version
