The Flame Launcher skill propels users forward by shooting flames from a rocket launcher’s rear, with three flying states: ground, low altitude, and high altitude. A new Hover skill allows aiming and firing while airborne.
The Enhancement Elixir can be used for self-healing with speed boosts or thrown at teammates, sticking temporarily to provide healing and acceleration.
New Vehicles & Combat Items
Penguin Snowmobiles are themed four-seater rides capable of firing slippery snowballs that slow down opponents, while Magic Ice Skates allow players to glide and leap across frozen surfaces.
Salted Fish Rocket Launchers create icy traps upon explosion, adding tactical depth to winter battles. The new NPC Crests System introduces collectible tokens redeemable for rewards during matches.

Players can now carry defeated enemies’ loot crates for faster looting. A reload progress indicator appears on weapon slots, and FAMAS gets an extra magazine slot for improved close-quarters combat.
