Facechecks, Battlezone events, ranked ready checks and a new HUD editor NEW

• Facechecks (new mode): close-quarters 1v1 and 2v2 rounds round one building, the teams spawning either side of it. Round 1 is pistols, then AR and pistol. Sides switch after round 3 and again at 5-5, the zone closes in late every round, first to 6. Ranked Facechecks 2v2 has its own ELO ladder. Maps: Backlot, Vespucci Beach, Kortz Center and Mirror Park.
• Challenges and the FX Tester: right-click a friend (or hold Left Alt on a player in the lounge) to challenge them to a 1v1 Facecheck. The FX Tester on the Play tab is your own arena with a dummy that gets straight back up: try every gun, skin and melee item you own.
• Battlezone events: Solos with 1,000 / 750 / 500 coins for the top 3. Join from chat with /bzjoin and wait on the carrier. Two lives, your own pistol skin and melee item, guards that drop guns, heals and armour, cars round the map (only pistols fire from cars), damage numbers and spectating once you're out.
• Ranked: a ready check before every match, /ff to forfeit as a team and /timeout before the next round, no more leaving a ranked match, and win-streak fire round your picture: orange at 3 wins, green at 5, purple at 7, rainbow chrome at 10.
• Rounds: the round MVP with their calling card and picture, the scoreboard over a blurred screen while the camera pulls back, a red tint on the countdown, switching sides at the spawns with the camera round your team, a compass under the score bar, and Dissys seat picks that are only where you spawn (/seat 1-4 moves you inside).
• Combat: the stone hatchet replaces the knife (every melee skin hits the same, two hits), close-range headshots buffed, FFA siphon (health or armour and a full clip on each kill), instant weapon switching, smokes that pop on landing and hide whoever's behind them, teammates outlined through walls, and blue / red hit numbers, bigger for headshots.
• HUD and settings: a new HUD editor with six health and armour styles, show / hide and resize on every part, separate Normal and Hop Outs layouts and /resethud. Settings > Hit markers for attack and victim sounds and damage numbers. Real keybinds on the hotbar, the crosshair off by default, and your calling card in the kill feed.
• Chat: cleaner and brighter, messages up for 15 seconds, @name mentions, a tougher filter and /clear.
• Lobby and Store: gift gun skins to friends, Past games with every kill recorded and watchable, easier menus, party invites that slide in, rank badges by every name, chrome calling card names (gold for VIP), Latex Gloves, more XP, and server-wide Double XP, Coins and SR events.

OCERZ Battlezone, Ranked Dissys, one damage model and citizen IDs NEW

• OCERZ Battlezone (new mode): a battle royale. Up to 100 players jump out of a cargo plane over Los Santos and the last squad standing wins. Solos, Duos, Trios, Quads and Pentas from the Battlezone cards on the Play tab: your party stays together and open spots get filled.
• Gang squads and Ranked: gang squads are members of one gang only and are never filled. Ranked Battlezone is pentas with its own rating, Bronze to Elite.
• The match: 11 circles close in with a storm outside them. Loot boxes glow in their rarity colour, and better boxes hold flashier gun finishes and more ammo, never stronger guns. Pockets on K, a hotbar on 1–5, and food that boosts your sprint, health or armour.
• Buy stations: armour, med kits, ammo, gas masks and buybacks for the cash you find. They close in the final circles.
• Squad play: jump with your leader, E to loot, ping enemies and loot with the middle mouse button, hold Z to revive downed squadmates, and buy back the ones who go down for good. Bounties on the squad with the most kills, and supply drops with legendary loot in later circles. Every Battlezone key can be changed in Settings > Controls.
• Rewards: Battlezone challenges unlock calling cards, titles and weapon skins. Results go to the Discord match feed, and the leaderboard here has Battlezone boards.
• Dissys and Ranked: Ranked is Dissys now (Ranked Dissys 1v1, 2v2 and 5v5, still first to 7), and Dissys is first to 5 rounds with a 10 round max.
• Combat: every gun hits the same now, headshots hit harder up close, and nobody gets one-tapped. Bloom nerfed and range buffed on every gun. Outside the Redzone circle, a Dissys combat zone or the red wall you play and shoot as normal, you just lose health every second, and in Dissys and the FFAs you can walk through the red wall (other modes keep a solid wall). Left Ctrl crouches, no health regen or fall damage, damage numbers and new hit sounds, and V goes through every view, first person included.
• Citizen IDs: a number that's yours for good, on your Profile, the scoreboard and the death card, and in your Discord nickname.
• Beards in the Locker, your party standing with you in the menu, a new lobby room, more and cheaper MVP sounds, and loading screen and lobby music that play again.

A daily shop, MVP sounds, gifts and trades, five new guns and cheater refunds NEW

• Five new guns: the Nebula Carbine (with an OCERZ nametag), Animgys, M4 Black Spikechain, Wireshock HB and Wireshock G19, always in the Store's Featured tab. The Wireshock G19 is free at Premium Pass tier 20 and the Wireshock HB at VIP Pass tier 30.
• Weapons: pistols are hold to fire, every gun aims in and out quicker, Chromium finishes are bought per gun, and every gun has a 3D view in the Loadout and Store.
• Smoke grenade in Dissys: one a round (G takes it out), a thick cloud everyone in the match sees for 20 seconds.
• Daily shop: your own picks every day, new at midnight UTC: five each of assault rifles, pistols, emotes, MVP sounds, calling cards, card quotes, cars and melee. Everyone's shop is different. The Store is now full width with tabs, rarity filters and a search.
• MVP sounds: equip one in Locker > Identity, and when you're a match's MVP the whole lobby hears it as the winners come up one by one. Plus 20 new card quotes and 12 new emotes.
• Gifts and trades: the trade button in the menu (or /trade <id>) gifts items or offers a swap. Press Home in the lounge to see your ID and how many players are on.
• The lounge: a Quick Play portal wall, a boost pad by the spawn, and smoother calling cards over heads.
• Cheater refunds: when someone is banned for cheating, everyone who lost ranked SR to them gets it back, and teammates who won SR with them give it back. You're told the next time you join.
• /report in game for players, bugs and help, new Locker clothing photos, loading screen music that plays by itself, and a new join code: connect cfx.re/join/xllmbb5.

One gun per class, 31 Chromium guns, gangs, friends and a join queue NEW

• One gun per class: everyone fights with the Carbine Rifle MK2 and the Pistol MK2, so every fight is on the same gear. Every unlock is a skin for them.
• 31 Chromium guns: 21 assault rifles and 10 pistols as skins for the MK2s, each in plain, pink, red and gold chromium. They have the MK2s' damage and fire rate, and attachments are looks only. Free ones at levels 3, 8, 12, 55, 65 and 85; the rest are in the in-game store or the VIP pass.
• New maps: Vinewood Boulevard, Sandy Marina and Mount Zonah. Hop Outs is now Dissys, with a 150 m play area and an 80 m combat zone that both shrink 20 m every 5 minutes, three zones a match.
• Map ban: before Dissys, ranked and tournament matches, everyone bans one of three maps.
• In a match: hold TAB for the scoreboard (kills, deaths, damage, HS%, ping, rank), everyone's Discord picture with health along the top, a combat report when you die, and Esc opens the full menu over the game.
• The menu: a new top bar, friends with party invites (Y accepts), gangs, tournaments, the VIP Pass (a second 50-tier track), battle pass tier skips, and our own Controls and Graphics settings.
• Join queue: when the server is full you wait on the loading screen. VIP skips the queue; Premium Pass owners and supporters join in the top 10.
• Real in-game photos of every skin in the menus and on the website store, which also has a new layout with tabs and the top supporter.

The lounge, Mk II skins and 100 calling cards

• Walk-around lounge: spawn at Sandy Shores airfield with everyone online, with no guns and no damage. Calling cards float above players' heads, and you walk into a mode ring and press E to start that mode with your party.
• Rifles and pistols only: SMGs, shotguns and the AP Pistol are gone. Every rifle handles the same and every pistol handles the same, so unlocks are looks only. Gun Game is now 10 rifles, then 8 pistols, then the knife.
• Carbine Mk II skins: earned from levels, ranked and the battle pass, or bought with coins. Rank skins go from Bronze up to Elite Chrome, which only Elite players get.
• 100 new calling cards: challenge cards for headshots, knife kills, kills, wins, streaks and more, plus funny ones. Every card can also be bought with coins.
• Ranks: every rank now has I / II / III divisions (e.g. Platinum II), new rank emblems, and a calling card and skin for reaching each one.
• Supporter, VIP and Premium Pass calling cards and name badges. Beta Testers get a calling card and a fluoro-green skin.
• Hop Outs: a team VS screen with everyone's cards, then pick your seat before the round.
• Teammates: blue or red outline, name above their head and a matching minimap blip. Each team gets its own radio automatically, push-to-talk on Left Alt.
• Anti-cheat: the server now checks health, headshots, weapons and damage itself. Farming the same player only pays for 5 kills every 10 minutes.
• Fixed broken parties, stuck queues, the results screen getting stuck and the mouse disappearing. Smoother FPS in matches.
• Battle pass: coin bonuses every 5 tiers (+50 free, +100 premium), skins and clothing in the pass, and free-track items can be bought early with coins. The Premium Pass is 3,000 coins in game.
• Locker: basic hats, tops, pants and shoes with colours, a working skin tone picker and two-tone hair. Everything you unlock or buy is locked to your account.
• New look: the OCERZ logo with the red RZ, rounded glass menus and a slimmer HUD.
• Discord: Verify replaces Apply, support tickets work by DM to the OCERZ bot, and there's a $100 invite competition (!invite shows where you stand).
