Cross-Platform Friend System

The Cross-Platform Friend System has arrived on Teardrop. Invite fellow other Zeroes and play in a party with them, no matter the platform they are on.

Progression Changes

  • New XP Values

    • Both the XP required for each level and all sources of Account XP have been increased and rebalanced.

  • New OmniHexes

    OmniHexes is the addition to the traditional HEXes found and extracted in-game. They guarantee a certain item rarity and can contain any item type. They come in four rarities:

    • Common – 70% chance to contain a Common item, 30% chance for Uncommon or better

    • Uncommon – 80% chance to contain an Uncommon item, 20% chance for Rare or better

    • Rare – 90% chance to contain a Rare item, 10% chance for an Epic item

    • Epic - Guaranteed Epic Item

  • Any Hex that is dropped can be an OmniHex

    • Common OmniHex - 70%

    • Uncommon OmniHex - 15%

    • Rare OmniHex - 4%

    • Epic OmniHex - 1%

Note: Your existing HEXes remain functional. OmniHexes are stored separately in a new OmniHex tab for future rewards.

  • Player Level-Up Rewards

    • Players now earn OmniHexes when leveling up:

      • Common Hex – every level

      • Uncommon Hex – every 5th level

      • Rare Hex – every 25th level

      • Epic Hex – every 100th level

  • Extracting Hex rewards

    • Now when you extract HEXes in-game, rarity matters more than ever. Higher tier OmniHexes drop additional XP rewards on top of their loot:

      • Common – Just the Hex

      • Uncommon – +20 Player XP, +3 BP XP

      • Rare – +40 Player XP, +6 BP XP

      • Epic – +60 Player XP, +8 BP XP

Matchmaking

  • Players can now select only one matchmaking region at a time.

  • Matchmaking times are now more accurately displayed.

Gameplay

  • Aim assist now decreases or disables on ghosted targets, based on their speed.

  • Aim assist now functions through destructible glass.

  • Decreased sensitivity assist to 50% (from 60%).

  • Increased rotational assist to 50% on PC (was 40%; remains 60% on console).

Cyberlimbs

Ripper

  • General damage from a Ripper hit is now 200 HP instead of 250 HP.

  • Localized Severing Points have been implemented:

    • Arm: Can be severed if it receives 100% damage to the arm limb.

    • Leg: Maintains the current logic where strikes at or below the knee can sever the limb. It can also be severed if it receives 100% damage to the leg limb.

  • Ripper does 90% of the hit limb max health as damage to that limb.

Roadrunners

  • Overall maximum sprint speed reduced by 30%, resulting in 170% sprint speed (100% base + 70% from Roadrunners).

Paralyzer

  • The center of the scan zone has been moved from the player to the dart. The dart is now the primary projectile that provides wallhack and can disable enemy limbs on contact.

  • Enemies who trigger the Paralyzer effect are no longer highlighted by the Recon Drone, even after the Paralyzer's effect ends.

  • Upon activation, the Paralyzer now immediately fires the dart instead of triggering a scan.

  • The dart itself now emits scanning waves identical to the original scan previously triggered by the player upon initial Paralyzer activation. The scan waves continue while the dart is present.

  • If the dart hits an enemy, the source of the scan becomes that enemy.

  • The dart attaches to the enemy only during the "limbs switching off" field effect. After this effect ends, the dart detaches and continues scanning from its detachment point.

  • The Paralyzer scan radius for characters has been reduced to 25 meters.

  • The Paralyzer no longer highlights the enemy character directly. Instead, it marks the point where the last scan wave hit the character. This marker appears as a red silhouette of the character.

Recon Drone

  • Enemies are now visible for 4 seconds, followed by 2 seconds of invisibility, in a continuous cycle.

  • Fixed Recon Drones spawning inside or through walls.
