We're super excited to introduce our first Balance Update for y'all today. This update will shake up the overall strategy for both regular games and competitive matches in the PCL. Accompanying those balance adjustments are a handful of bug fixes and other improvements. For a condensed list of patch notes, check the bottom of this announcement.
Our goal with the following balance adjustments are not to make the game "more balanced". Instead, we are aiming to refresh the meta by shifting the balance, creating new and refreshing strategies for players. Starting on January 1st, there will be a new Balance Update every 3 months to match each new POLYGON Competitive League season. Each Balance Update, we will be nerfing some of the stronger guns, and buffing some of the weaker guns to create a new meta.
Our goal is to completely remove the G36C from the competitive meta. Its been at the top of the food chain for way too long, though we're sure it'll eventually find its way back to the top in a future meta. This however, is not that time.
(-) Reduced damage from 25 -> 24
(-) Reduced rate of fire from 750 -> 725
(-) Reduced bullet velocity by 10%
(-) Reduced mobility from 107 -> 105
While the AK12 wasn't overpowered, we wanted to knock it down a bit to give way for new guns in the meta. It's power is still within the same range as some of the other 'balanced' guns like the M16A4 and AK74M
(-) Decreased rate of fire from 650 -> 630
(-) Decreased mobility from 105 -> 100
We want the ASVAL to fit a niche role as a fast paced assassin like weapon. Quick, silent, and finally deadly. We believe this buff, while not making it super strong in all maps, will finally give the ASVAL a place in the meta.
(+) Increased damage from 24 -> 25
(+) Reduced tactical reload speed from 2.85 -> 2.73
(+) Reduced empty reload speed from 3.35 -> 3.07
(+) Increased magazine capacity from 20 -> 25
(+) Increased mobility from 104 -> 107
We're giving the AK47 a big damage boost, especially for headshots. Additionally, there's some extra recoil to compensate, and some extra movement speed. The AK47 is finally good again, and especially rewarding for high skill players.
(+) Increased damage from 31 -> 32
(-) Increased recoil from 25 -> 28
(+) Increased mobility from 100 -> 105
(+) Increased headshot multiplier from 2 -> 2.2
(+) Increased rate of fire from 600 -> 615
The goal with the Scar is to nudge it in the direction of meta. We want to increase its power at high level play, and make it better at range.
(+) Increased headshot multiplier from 2 -> 2.25
(+) Increased bullet velocity multiplier from 1 -> 1.05
(-) Increased recoil from 27 -> 30
To go along with the cycle animation fix from last patch, we wanted to make the M24 feel a bit cooler to play. With this one change, headshot collaterals will finally kill. This mostly guarantees a kill any time you hit a headshot with the M24. Time to get clips!
(+) Increased headshot multiplier from 2 -> 2.55
Our goal is to provide a proper middle ground between scopes like the ACOG and small sights like the Red Dot. The Holographic Sight will now give a noticeable amount of magnification, without being a long range scope. Keep in mind, sights in POLYGON don't use a realistic magnification, rather they change the FOV of the camera.
(+) Increased the FOV magnification of the Holographic sight from 80 to 70
Cargo has been a staple in the POLYGON Competitive League since the beginning. But, it hasn't been the most balanced battleground. With these small changes, we hope to make the map a little more balanced for both sides, by reducing the amount of angles in certain powerful positions. While this more than likely won't "fix" the balance of the map, it should be a step in the right direction. Let us know what you think!
Ever wanted to play against the top rated players in a competitive environment? Join the PCL and queue up for ranked! We now have the PCL Ranked Leaderboard in the main menu to flex your ranking on to the entire POLYGON Community. The next PCL season will begin on October 1st, it will feature new rewards (skins, patches, and more) as well as a revamped ranking system. Join the POLYGON Competitive League!
Additionally, the Pro League standings are now displayed in the main menu!
Added the current health number to the health bar
Added the POLYGON Competitive League leaderboard to the main menu
Decreased the amount of time you are blocked from new actions, like shooting and sprinting, after throwing a grenade
Adjusted the M16A4 shoot audio to be a little deeper
Lower Arm hits now deal full damage rather than 93%
Increased the damage grace period after death from 1 second to 1.5, you should see fewer "no-regs" after death. We'll be monitoring the effect of this change.
Slightly increased opacity of the borders
Stamina no longer decreases when jumping at slow speeds
Cargo balance adjustments
Significantly improved the hit registration of grenades
Fixed the wall climbing exploit
Fixed an issue where changing player skins was not working properly
Fixed some incorrect collisions on Storage
Further fixed the rechambering cancel bug on M24
Fixed a bug that caused reload animations on pistols to cancel
Fixed more bugs regarding to changing teams and re-enabled the Change Team button
Fixed the display name of the Pirate patch
Fixed a bug that caused a single bullet to sometimes hit a player twice (this was the cause of the M24 one shot body issue)
Nerfed the G36C, worse time to kill and worse at range
Nerfed AK12, slightly worse time to kill, slower movement
Buffed the ASVal, better time to kill and faster pace of play
Buffed the AK47, more damage overall and faster movement
Buffed the ScarH, more rewarding headshots and better at range
Buffed the M24, far more damage on headshots to allow collateral kills
Increased the FOV magnification of the Holographic sight from 80 to 70
Our next update will take a bit longer to come out than the last few. We don't want to give out all of our plans just yet, but we expect 0.7.10 to take us about 1 month. It will feature some cool map adjustments, including Crash Site King of the Hill. Stay tuned!

We've noticed while creating some of the new features in this patch that the localization in POLYGON leaves a lot to be desired. We are aware of this and will be working on improving the translations very soon. Please bear with us, we apologize for any weird, missing, or inaccurate translations.
With this update, the time of mysticism, riddles and, of course, incredible rewards will come.

We are excited to present Update 0.7.5, featuring new functions, improvements, and fixes to enhance your gaming experience. We also have important news about the future of Polygon. Let's start with the changes in this update:
Welcome to the new Battle Pass season - The Art of War. This new season includes new weapon skins, wristwatches, VIP status, and Crowns. Additionally, it introduces brand new cosmetic content for Polygon, including character skins, patches, and weapon charms. This Battle Pass will be the most content-rich in the game's history. Don't miss the chance to express your uniqueness on the battlefield!
The game has been updated with a new assault rifle - AS "VAL". This perfect combination of high rate of fire, mobility, and stealth will make your enemies nervous whenever you appear. With the "VAL," you can effectively and silently eliminate targets, instilling fear and panic among opponents.
The Crash Site map has received a night version. Prepare your flashlights!
New cosmetic items, including character skins, patches and weapon charms have been added to the game. Character skins affect only clothing and do not impact external equipment (helmet, plate carrier), allowing you to always identify your enemies by their appearance. You can obtain new style items in the new Battle Pass season and purchase them through the in-game store.
For a limited time, you can get a discount of up to 35% on Crown purchases. Don't miss the chance to get the new Battle Pass at a great discount!
Added a new weapon module - "Angled Grip";
Added tactical reloading. Now, during incomplete reloading, the round in the chamber will be preserved, allowing you to make an additional shot (e.g., 30 -> 31);
Optimized storm performance on the "Sandstorm" map;
Some shaders in the game have been optimized;
Today, I want to share important news about the future of Polygon. This announcement requires an honest conversation because big changes are coming, and I want to be transparent with you.
Hi, guys, My name is Nick, and I am the main creator and lead developer of the game. When I started developing Polygon, I was very inexperienced in game development, especially in first-person shooters. But I had a dream: I always wanted to create a truly large-scale shooter. However, I knew that first, we needed a stable foundation for the game, so I focused only on infantry battles. But the dream never went away.
Update 0.7 finally gave the game the necessary foundation, and about a year ago, I began looking towards my initial goal. To fully realize my goal, I needed certain tools, and the release of Unreal Engine 5 provided the necessary technologies for this.
Few people know that I am a big fan of Battlefield 3/4. The existing "Metro" map proves this, as it is a partial copy of the original version. Initially, Polygon was planned as an analog for Battlefield. This was supposed to include large-scale maps with many players, military equipment, destructibility, and other elements characteristic of the Battlefield series.
So, I made a serious decision to start a new path, a new story. For some time now, I have been developing something more global than the current Polygon. I think we can call it Polygon 2 (PG2). And yes, it will be a new game because I don't want to break the gaming experience of players in the current Polygon. Of course, there are those who do not share my vision and may not want such colossal changes. Therefore, the current Polygon will maintain its position of close-range infantry battles.
Everything.
Classes will be added to the game: Assault, Support, Engineer, and Scout. Each class will have its unique feature, significantly impacting gameplay. This will also make the game more team-oriented.
Military equipment will appear in the game, from ATVs to tanks and combat helicopters.
You will be able to influence the game world with a destruction system: a building will collapse like a house of cards after C4 detonation, and fallen trees will serve as defense against the enemy.
We are creating completely new maps for PG2. Current maps will NOT be transferred to PG2 because they simply do not fit the new requirements.
We could list all the changes for a long time, but we'll leave that for future announcements.
Unfortunately, at this time, the gameplay is in such a state that I cannot show it. But I can demonstrate some of the changes that PG2 will receive.
We decided to start development by recreating one of the most popular maps. We strive to achieve maximum accuracy, maintaining 95% of the original scales and the location of all objects. The goal is to show the intention to move in a direction that will be familiar and understandable to every player.
I will reiterate that this is a super early version of development. The map still lacks numerous objects, visual effects, and other elements.
Now let's talk a little about the style of PG2. As you may have noticed, the graphics in PG2 will become more realistic, and at the same time, the game will receive a new feature - pixelation. This will preserve the game's stylization while adding many missing details that we would like to see in the game.
PG2 will receive an arsenal update. Numerous types of assault and sniper rifles, SMGs, and LMGs are in development.
Such items as C4, claymores, smoke grenades, and other tactical tools will also be added.
We want to give you a completely new experience compared to the current version of the game.
At this moment, we don't have exact dates for completing all plans. But this is definitely not a quick process. We hope to move to the first public playtests by the end of the year. Your patience and support during this period will be extremely important for us.
We will continue to release new content, such as the current update, but we will have to divide our time between developing two games simultaneously. Therefore, the interval between updates may increase. But of course, the game will NOT lose support even after the full release of PG2.
Your opinion is very important to us. We are open to your questions and suggestions. Please leave your comments and share your thoughts in our (https://discord.gg/polygon-official-877736585427292211).
That's all the news we can share with you for now. We will continue to keep you updated on the development of PG2.
Thank you all.

In this update, we have completely updated the character model. Now the character has significantly more details.
We also completely redesigned the character's skeleton and significantly increased the quality of most animations. Let's just take a look at some updated weapon handling animations.
All other animations have also been completely redesigned. You can look at it in the game.
Also, of course, we have updated the models of each element of the character's equipment. Now it's also much more detailed than before. Take a look at the fully equipped character in the game:
Now finally the character's equipment has a different color for each team. This will allow you to better distinguish allies from enemies.
In this update, the weapon progression system has been completely redesigned. Here's how it works:
Each weapon now has a separate level. Experience (XP) gained for kills, head shots, as well as assistance in killing, will also increase the XP of the weapon used. With XP, you'll be able to explore new modules for each weapon.
Almost all modules affect the characteristics of the gun. Modules give weapons both positive and negative effects.
To explore the desired module, look at the progress tree.
In the screenshot you can see that at the moment the weapon has 20,000 free XP. The free XP is displayed with a blue star:
To unlock each module, you will need free XP, as well as a certain number of credits.
Now let's unlock some modules:
After unlocking some modules, the free XP was spent.
Now you can attach the new models to the weapon:
Also now you can connect sights that previously could not be used on some types of weapons.
Experiment with modules to improve your style of play. Do you like to fight long distance? Reducing the recoil of the weapon will probably suit you. Do you want to have an advantage in short fights? Try increasing accuracy from the hip. The choice is yours!
Welcome to the arena where fate will be decided in every shot. In Update 0.7, we present to you our new competitive map - "Cargo". Steel walls create a unique gaming environment, providing shelter and opportunities for tactical maneuvers.
We have invested many dozens of hours to hone the balance of the sides to perfection. At the moment, this is the most balanced map in Polygon and with this we have grandiose plans for the future :) Immerse yourself in the incredible atmosphere of battles right in the heart of the ocean!
Polygon's arsenal has been replenished with new weapons: AK308 and Kriss Vector. Earlier, we have already shown you these weapons in the game. You can take a look at it again in the video announcement:
To buy Kriss Vector, you will need level 20 of the character, and to buy AK308 - level 24. Some weapons have also received a reduction in the required level. You can find out about this in the changes section.
Now you have the opportunity to add a stylish decoration to your character - a wristwatch. Choose from several models of watches, each of which has its own unique design and features. From classic to modern style, we have watches to match your taste and preferences.
The 3rd season of the Battle Pass "Operation: Scarlet Storm" has started in Polygon. The new season has as many as 100 reward levels, which is 2 times more than last season. At the same time, the required progress has been increased by only 40%, which means that you will be able to receive rewards 1.5 times more often!
Incredibly beautiful skins were added to the 3rd season. Some skins now have dynamic material, allowing you to enjoy a truly stunning visual effect. See how the skin changes its texture and reflects the environment, creating an effect of depth and liveliness. Your enemies will envy your aesthetics, and you will enjoy fighting with weapons that stand out among others.
Also, as a reward, you can get a variety of watches with a truly unique design.
When you purchase the Battle Pass, you instantly get a "Supreme" skin for the M16A4, as well as a "Sunfire" watch.
And at the last levels you will find a golden skin for Kriss Vector and a Scarlet Storm watch. The golden skin has a unique new iridescent design.
**Buy the Battle Pass and get the best rewards! **
One of the main improvements was the new lighting at all game locations. Now you can enjoy amazing gaming moments when every corner of the Polygon world comes to life thanks to improved lighting. Depth and shadows, light and darkness - all this creates an exciting and realistic atmosphere.
But that's not all! We have also made changes to the weather to add extra variety and atmosphere to the game. Now you can feel the power of nature when rain washes the area or the sun breaks through the clouds, illuminating your path. I hope you are not afraid of lightning!
The graphics in Polygon have become even more beautiful. You need to see these changes with your own eyes in order to truly appreciate their effect.
We have slightly diluted the situation, now we are going back to weapons again, because this is the most important thing for a shooter! 2 new sights have been added to the game: Elcan SpectedDR and OKP-7. The Elcan is a medium-range optical sight. Do you like having dominance at a distance? Try Elcan!
Do you want to have real fun on short skirmishes? OKP-7 is just created for this!

Recently, you may have noticed a lot of small updates that did not give visible changes to the game. These updates helped us identify a rather serious problem with some players connecting to the game. Unfortunately we had to test this "live" because we could not recreate the connection error ourselves and had to collect data from players who encountered it. With the current patch this bug should be fixed. We apologize for this inconvenience. If you have any problems connecting to the game, please create a ticket in our (https://discord.gg/Ywu74qDFXe) or post about it in the Steam community. We'll be sure to help you out.

Not so long ago we published the news about the beginning of the public playtest for everyone. Together, we discovered a big number of bugs in the gameplay, which were fixed. Special thanks to everyone who took part in the playtest, you have helped us a lot! As a reward, each participant of the playtest could receive VIP status for 7 days.
Today we officially announce the update fully ready to be released on the main server. We have been working on this update for a very long time and we hope you all will enjoy it :)
This update includes hundreds of improvements, changes and bug fixes. Here are some of the highlights you can expect in this update:
Ballistics system that includes the drop of bullets depending on the type of caliber, as well as the ability to penetrate and ricochet off of objects;
In-game loadout system that allows you to change and customize weapons during the match without going to the main menu;
Improved Lighting and Optimization on Valley;
2 brand new sights and a flashlight. All other models of weapon modules have received a complete redesign;
Complete redesign of all weapon models;
New character levels. Now the maximum level is 50;
Notification system for game events;
You can see the full list of all changes below.
So, as mentioned above, ballistics will add bullet drop depending on the caliber of the weapon. Thus, sniper rifles will be able to shoot at a longer distance than pistols. We tried to calibrate the physics of the bullets falling so that it didn't change the gameplay too much, compared to the old version, where there was no ballistics at all. Therefore, it is possible that at a short shooting distance you will not notice any changes. This was done on purpose. We are still continuing to calibrate physics and we hope to improve this in the future.
Also, the new ballistics system includes the possibility to penetrate some objects. This depends on the material from which the object is made, as well as the thickness of the object itself. Thus, the probability of breaking through a wooden pallet is much higher than a thick sheet of metal or a brick wall. It also depends on the caliber of the weapon. After breaking through the object, the bullet loses some of its energy, which also depends on the physical data described above.
But that's not all. The new ballistics system adds the ability to ricochet bullets. This also depends on the material and caliber of the weapon. So, bullets will ricochet from metal surfaces, but not from sand. After ricocheting against the surface, the bullet will lose some of its energy. This depends on many indicators, such as the angle of the ricochet, the speed of the bullet and others.
You can try ballistics now!
Previously, all players had to leave the server to change and customize weapons in the main menu. Now you can do it during the game without leaving and without losing progress! Just choose a new weapon and customize it to your liking right in the game.
So, there are 2 loadout modes: compact and full. Compact allows you to quickly select other available weapons in your inventory. Previously installed modules will be automatically installed on the selected weapon. Just choose G36C instead of M24 and repel the enemy's attack on the objective.
Full mode allows you to compare the characteristics of weapons, as well as install modules that are available in your inventory.
This is only the first stage of the new function. This system will be improved in the future.
Polygon is a beautiful game, isn't it? :) But it can be even more beautiful. Lighting plays an extremely important role in graphic visualization. This allows you to dive deeper into the gameplay, feel the atmosphere and depth of the space better. Therefore, it is always necessary to start with stage lighting.
Polygon will now use a different lighting algorithm. This will significantly improve the quality of graphics. Unfortunately, setting up a new algorithm takes quite a long time, so we decided to start updating the lighting gradually. And we will start with the "Valley" map. We will show you some screenshots to compare the old and new lighting.
You can see that the lighting has become more balanced. Unnaturally dark areas have become lighter, and its now darker indoors. The new lighting algorithm will also increase FPS in some cases by up to 50%. We have put a lot of work into working out the new lighting, but there may still be some lighting errors in some places. We will continue to work on this.
But that's not all! Previously, if you used low graphics settings, your shadows completely disappeared. Now shadows will be visible even at the lowest graphics settings and this will not affect FPS in any way!
(low graphics settings)
In the future, all other maps will also have improved lighting. At the moment, this is only available for Valley.
In the last major update, we started improving some weapon models and we continued to update them in 0.6. Fully updated models of weapon modules:
We also added 2 brand new sights: "Cobra" and "Pistol Collimator".
In addition, a completely new module for weapons has been added - the flashlight. This will make it possible to illuminate some dark areas in the game world, and also allow you to blind the enemy at close range. Remember that this also makes you easier to spot, use it wisely! You can purchase a flashlight in the in-game store for credits - the currency earned by playing the game.
We have also updated the models of all the weapons that are in the game at the moment. All current weapon skins have also been completely redesigned. No new skins were added.
Before this update, you could reach a maximum level of 40. Now the maximum level in the game is 50. It takes 4,138,000 experience to get level 50.
We have also updated the icons of all levels in the game. Now it has a more attractive look.
The following information applies only to players who previously had level 40: Unfortunately, we had to reset the experience to the level required to get level 40. So, if you had, for example, 5,000,000 experience, then your experience will be reset to the level required to get level 40 (1,898,000). In general, this will not affect your game in any way, but we understand that this is upsetting news for some players. So, we have prepared an exclusive item for you: a watch that displays the total number of all kills, starting from the moment of using this watch. Also, a number is displayed depending on what place you had on the experience leaderboard before this update. No one else will be able to get this watch, it is completely exclusive.
We will start issuing this item after the update starts. It will take us some time to do this.
A notification system for game events has been added to the game. At the moment, you receive notifications about the beginning of the capture of an objective by your team or the enemy team. In the future, other notifications will be added to help you react to various events quickly.

— Fixed: Error #6 when trying to connect to the server; — Fixed: Camera clipping into objects when the character is leaning; — Fixed: Bug with falling under the map on Storage; — Fixed: Grenades falling under the map; — Fixed: Bug with inviting players to the squad;
We really hope you enjoy this update. During the playtest, we tried to catch all the most critical bugs, but due to the huge number of changes, new bugs are still possible.
