#UNLOCK ALL PHANTOM FORCES UPDATE#
Artistic License Gun Safety: The Canadian Independence Day update introduced a trio of ammo types that absolutely should not be attempted in Real Life due to explosion and/or shrapnel hazards, but function perfectly fine in-game due to Rule of Fun:.April Fools' Day: Rather than truly pranking the playerbase, StyLiS prefers to simply relax and make the game sillier for a few days around this time, usually by introducing wacky maps or replacing the sound effects with things like the Demoman yelling "kaboom" or squeaky shoes.
As a result, four new attachments were introduced specifically to address this problem: an absurdly powerful flashlight that replaces the sight (useful for Chainsaw Grip and hip-firing users), a proper night vision scope with variable zoom (though this comes at the cost of the night vision being realistic and the crosshairs jerking back when firing), a clone of the Angled Grip shaped like a potato with an added flashlight, and a unique futuristic sight called the Hera CQR that also has a flashlight. Using a flashlight sacrifices much more useful stat modifiers on a weapon (unless you're using a Ballistics Tracker), which would've been a problem in the Cataclysm event where every single map takes place at night or in pitch-black fog.Some ammo types and attachments that radically change the way a gun operates or feels will cause said guns to be reported in the killfeed under different names, making it more obvious if an enemy is using them to gain the upper hand.All cosmetic crates will boost the rates of rarer qualities the longer the player goes without them, resetting if a Very Rare or Legendary item is acquired.However, the experience rewarded will roughly correspond to the proportion of total damage inflicted by the player, and with no bonuses for headshots, wallbangs (hitting someone through a wall), or multiple hits. Dealing over 50 or more damage to an opponent counts as killing them if someone else finishes them off for the purpose of unlocks.All-or-Nothing Reloads: Played straight for the most part, but exaggerated with the Dragunov-SVU, in which the previous magazine is smashed into the aether by the new mag, yet has no bearing on ammunition if the animation is cancelled.
