[BR Gameplay Update]
The battle pace is getting a Full Upgrade! To deliver a more thrilling and competitive experience, we’re making major upgrades to the Battle Royale Mode’s combat pace, economy system, and respawn mechanics in the upcoming S15 Battle Royale season.
This adjustment aims to encourage proactive combat, making every Kill a key to your growth!

To ensure the stability of the new mechanics, we will implement the following adjustments in phases:
January 8: Early implementation in [Battle Royale - Matchmaking] and [Room] Modes
January 15 (Battle Royale Season Update): Officially implemented in [Battle Royale - Ranked] and [Peak] modes.

New Tactical Item - Restore Energy
No more getting picked off after a fight! Now, defeating enemies will grant you greater sustainability.
New Mechanic: After defeating an enemy, a [Restore Energy] will appear in their Loot Crate.
New Effect: Instantly restores health and armor upon Pick Up, grants Evolution energy, and Reduces skill cooldown. (The amount healed varies based on the enemy's armor level.)
Auto Pick-up: When your health or armor is not at its best, the system will automatically Pick Up this item to help you quickly get back into fighting shape!

Revival Mechanism Overhaul
Early-game tolerance will be greatly increased, allowing you to fight with greater peace of mind.
We have significantly reduced the basic respawn waiting time. Now, the recall speed will be much faster than before!
Dynamic Penalty: The basic respawn time is shortened, but as the number of deaths increases, the required respawn time will also increase.

Map Rhythm Optimization
1. Optimized the safe zone diameter and shrinking time on the "Skyline Beach" map, making early-game battles more intense and providing more time for tactical planning in the late game.
2. Reduced the amount of cash obtained from opening supply crates after they respawn on the Shutter Island and Skyline Beach maps. In the later stages, your main source of income will rely more on combat.
3. Reduced the number of Evolution Energy spawns on the ground and the quantity available for sale in the shop.
