We have prepared a rebalance of the maps in Hacking mode before the start of Ranked Season Arctic Wind. The changes are based on statistics analysis and the results of surveys that players took in early June.
Take our surveys — they help us to make Caliber better.
One of the reasons that the attacking team rarely visited Server A is the dangerous route via the bridge. There simply weren’t enough covers.
We have moved the cylinder and the brick cover, and placed a large container near the start. When entered, it will cover you on almost every side.
There was an explosive truck near the entrance — a threat to the team’s defenses. We have placed a more safe cover in its place.
The conditions for the attacking team in the server area will be improved as well. A new cover has been added near the container by the entrance, and several windows on the second floor of the building have been nailed shut.
Statistics showed that server A is located in an inconvenient place — right between the freight cars. Both the installation and the deactivation of the hacking device have proven to be difficult.
Server A is now in a different location.
Because of the placement near the doors, it was very easy to control the installation process from outside the building. The installation area has been moved further inside the building, so the attacking team can safely install the hacking device.
The defending team had been facing difficulties accessing server A. If the attacking team occupied the freight cars, exiting the Depot building would become almost impossible. Extra covers have now been placed along the entire building.
The server was located near the tunnel entrance, which was easy to control. The easy installation of the hacking device proved to be an advantage for the attacking team. Now, the area has been moved slightly, to a more manageable position for both teams.
Extra covers have been added on both sides. The center was too open before.
The infiltration areas have been moved for both teams in accordance with the new installation area of server B.
The attacking team could install the hacking device easily, as the installation area was conveniently covered by barrels. Now, the installation zone will be placed closer to the defending team’s side.
New covers have also been added, and the metal door has been replaced with a destructible wall for variety.
The installation zone of server B has also been moved closer to the defending team’s side. The attacking team could easily install the hacking device from behind the generator wall.
New covers have been added to the platform to make it easier for the defending team to dig themselves in between the installation areas.
According to the statistics, server A is more convenient for the attacking team. The location of the installation area and the second floor have allowed easy control of the area around the hacking device.
A cover giving too big of an advantage has been removed from the second floor. The capture point has been moved closer to the defending team’s side.
The installation zone has been moved closer to the defending team’s side, as it had provided too big of an advantage to the attacking team.
The cover on the tower has been enlarged to human size, to make it impossible to control most of the map. A new tall log cover has also been added for the defending team near the water.
Crossing is a rather open map, which allowed players to start firing right from their spawn points.
We have changed the grouping of covers to reduce the opportunity for firing.
If the attacking team could successfully install the hacking device, it would secure their victory in the match.
A new ascent route has been added for the defending team, allowing them to quickly reach the installed hacking device.
A new route to the server from the street has also been added for the defending team.
Now, the installation zone is closer to the defending team’s side.
New covers have also been added to the attacking team’s side.
The installation area has been moved to a more open space, as it was too easy for the attacking team to install the hacking device before.
New covers have been added, allowing players to move between the installation areas more safely.
