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**.
