In addition to the operation, several more changes have appeared in the game:
- UMP-45 has increased damage drop at distance
- Zeus (Zeus x27) can now be thrown (if the mode allows throwing weapons)
- Now, when taking a bonus weapon in deathmath mode, the player does not respawn
The operation has been extended until November 13. There is a 50% discount on passes.
All players have access to the new modes, to play on the operation maps, and to play on Guardian missions (you need a pass to create a Guardian lobby, but you can join an existing lobby without having a pass).
The price of the operation pass is 340,179 rubles.
When you purchase a pass, you get access to:
Regardless of when the pass is purchased, players can receive an equal amount of experience, stars and items. A person who bought a pass in August can catch up with those who bought a pass in May.
Medal and experience
When you purchase a pass, you get an upgradeable Operation Medal. She (medal) has 4 levels:
Green - easy. For completing such a mission, you will be given 350 experience points.
Yellow - medium (normal). For completing such a mission, you will be given 525 experience points.
Red - hard. For completing such a mission, you will be given 700 experience points.
To complete the mission, you must fulfill its condition.
The whole mission is divided into waves of 5 bots. At the end of the wave, you are given time to purchase weapons. Also, part of your health and armor is replenished.
If 1 of the players dies, he will appear on the next wave with the amount of health and armor equal to the amount restored. If both players die, then the mission round is considered lost (you also lose if the bots plant a bomb). Players start off again, but keep the money they earn (but not on all missions).
By hovering over a mission, you can view information about it.
1 - information about which card you are playing on (in this case Rialto).
2 - Prerequisites and mission modifiers.
Mission modifiers are conditions and functions that change the gameplay of a mission.
these include:
- Inability to buy on a mission
- Lack of armor
- Possibility to buy Heavy Armor (See New Modes - War Games - HEAVY ASSAULT SUIT)
- The appearance of enemies in heavy armor
- Resetting earned money in case of mission failure
4 - play button on the mission (the mission will be selected if you are in the lobby, or a lobby will be created)
5 - friends statistics
15 rounds are allocated to complete the mission. After a certain number of failed rounds, the difficulty of the mission will be reduced, but this will not affect the experience gained.
It doesn't matter how many attempts you take to complete this or that mission. The amount of experience counted by the journal will not change. The points that you will be shown at the end are just statistics.
A few tips for passing
₪ Bots cannot see you through the smoke and will not try to shoot you through it.₪ Also, bots cannot see you if you are completely or partially in smoke!
₪ In the first round, while the bots do not have serious weapons, try to slaughter them. Thus, you can collect more money, and already in the second round buy AWP / Heavy armor, etc.
₪ AWP and Zeus (Zeus x27) are most effective against bots in heavy armor, but keep in mind that you can buy Zeus only once in 1 life!
₪ Heavy armored bots cannot use rifles, so just keep your distance.
₪ Often bots will place a bomb in the same place. Use this!
New modes
Operation Hydra has added several new modes to the game.
Each regimen lasts 1 week. They alternate: War Games, Wingman, Weapon Expert, War Games, etc. If you missed some mode, don't worry - it will still be!
You don't need to buy a pass if you don't need a medal! Everyone has access to these modes!
