Caliber update 0.12.0 is all about the radical redesign of the economy and new content. This is the most significant and prominent update in six months. To a large extent, we made it based on the players' feedback and suggestions, which, contrary to the strong opinion, we carefully read, analyze, and implement.
For the economic part, we especially highlight the simplification of operator upgrade till level 11, changes in daily and weekly tasks, new logic for obtaining materials, and operators' availability for purchase in the client. The new content is the Kazakh operator collection Arystan, the new Onslaught game mode and the marathon in it, and legendary and epic TFB outfits.
There are a few more interesting things in the patch note, so pleasant reading to you.
And see you in battles in Caliber 0.12.0!
