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. ##### Balance Adjustments 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. ##### G36C 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 ##### AK12 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 ##### ASVAL 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 ##### AK47 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 ##### SCAR-H 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 ##### M24 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 ##### Holographic Sight 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 Balance Adjustments 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! ##### POLYGON Compe _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1241100/view/514094961187095026]_ ### Hotfix 0.7.8.3 - Date: 2025-08-29 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1241100/view/512967793587520063 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/polygon/releases/steam-512967793587520063 Hey y'all, quick hotfix today for a few of the bugs from the last update.

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. ### Halloween in Polygon! - Date: 2024-10-27 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1241100/view/4527898957282541806 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/polygon/releases/steam-4527898957282541806 ##### Welcome to the Halloween Update!

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: --- ##### BATTLE PASS SEASON 4 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! --- ##### AS "VAL" 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.

You can obtain new style items in the new Battle Pass season and purchase them through the in-game store. --- ##### CROWN PURCHASE DISCOUNT 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! --- ##### OTHER CHANGES: --- ##### NEW - 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); --- ##### IMPROVEMENTS - Optimized storm performance on the "Sandstorm" map; - Some shaders in the game have been optimized; --- ##### NOW FOR IMPORTANT NEWS: 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. --- ##### Reasons for the changes: **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. --- ##### What will change? **Everything.** Classes will _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1241100/view/4140575709409437496]_ ### CONTENT UPDATE 0.7.2 | OPERATION: SANDSTORM - Date: 2024-01-12 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1241100/view/6592773486701738549 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/polygon/releases/steam-6592773486701738549 ##### A brand new experience in POLYGON is ready for you, hop on and see for yourself! --- ##### Sandstorm **Dynamic dust storms and constant flyovers** are only a part of the chaos Sandstorm brings.

Finally, we are ready to present you a grand update - 0.7. At the moment, this is the **largest update** in the history of the game. We have invested all our efforts, passion and talent to bring you incredible innovations. Get ready for an explosive experience that will change your idea of battles. The weapon in your hands has become even more powerful and effective. And the **new progression system** will allow you to change the characteristics of your weapons that meet your unique style of play and become a real warrior, ready for any challenges. The arsenal of the game has received an update in the form of a new **AK308** assault rifle and a **Kriss Vector** submachine gun. Explore locations enlivened by a unique atmosphere. The **new Cargo map** will give you an incredible new gameplay in 5 vs 5 battles. We have also fixed a number of bugs and improved the performance of the game so that you can fully immerse yourself in its world without obstacles. Thanks to all our dedicated players who have supported us along the way. Your passion and faith in our project inspire us to strive to improve the game! --- ##### NEW CHARACTER 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. --- ##### NEW WEAPON PROGRESSION SYSTEM 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! --- ##### NEW MAP 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! --- ##### NEW WEAPON 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 _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1241100/view/3685680165786184634]_ ### Patch: 0.6.42.267 - Date: 2022-09-08 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1241100/view/3290464569152266914 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/polygon/releases/steam-3290464569152266914 ##### Hi, guys.
