New Features with Update 30.2

Within the scope of Update 30.2, the Tactical Package and Emergency Aid Kit, returning with enhanced versions, will now be available in the primary weapon slot. The Tactical Package offers more attachment slots, allowing players greater customization options. The Emergency Aid Kit shortens the usage time of health items while speeding up the revival times of teammates, increasing strategic advantages on the battlefield. In addition, the All-in-One Repair Kit has become usable three times and has been placed in the secondary weapon slot. These items will now spawn randomly on all maps.

Additional updates include:

• Special items from the collaboration with Automobili Lamborghini.
