[Gameplay Updates]

New Map: Shutter Island
Once a serene paradise surrounded by clear waters and breathtaking views, this island's tranquility was disrupted by the establishment of a maximum-security prison, leading to its ominous rechristening as "Shutter Island."
Beneath its picturesque exterior, a web of dark secrets lurks, with mysterious energy sources being processed in the island's factories and distributed through the nearby port.
 
Brace yourself and prepare for close-range firefights on the island. Keep a sharp eye on ziplines and windows, as these are prime ambush spots favored by your foes.
 
*Shutter Island is currently available in Battle Royale mode only.

April 15—Mysterious Energy:
We possess limited reliable intel on the mysterious energy. If you locate it, secure it and return it to our base, as it holds the key to unraveling the conspiracy.

April 15—Shutter Island Hall of Fame:
Given the unknown nature of the mysterious energy, we require more operatives to collect reliable intel. Exceptional operatives who repeatedly complete the mission will be recognized in the Shutter Island Hall of Fame. Get ready—Operation Shutter is about to begin.

The drone can be destroyed, and the zipline will disappear after its destruction.
