The classic menu style now always shows its icons • Fixed: on iPhone, holding a button could open the text magnifier instead of pressing it • Fixed: large incomes no longer get cut off at the top of the screen on smaller phones • NEW: Daily events! An UP NEXT strip on Home shows what's coming, and a full calendar shows the week in your local time • NEW: Supply Drop. A few hours after each World Boss, a free crate lands on Home for 30 minutes. Watch an ad to upgrade it to a gold crate with a chance of a golden key • NEW: Rush Hour. For one hour, career frags come twice as fast and match prizes pay 1.5x • NEW: Global Push. Everyone's league wins count toward one shared target, and every player who helps earns the milestone rewards • NEW: Bounty Hour. The top 3 ranked defences become Most Wanted. Beat one for bonus gems (unrated, one shot at each). Hold as Most Wanted and you earn gems for every defence that holds • NEW: Trivia Night. 10 quick questions in World Chat, and the top 3 win gems • NEW: Daily Gauntlet. Fight ten tougher and tougher squads in a row, the same ten for everyone. See how deep you can go, with a free retry for watching an ad • NEW: Clan Rally. Clan leaders pick a daily rally time. Every member who checks in adds raid damage for the whole clan for 24 hours • The daily events run twice a day so players all over the world get a turn • Signed-in managers now earn +10% income, all the time (look for the +10% next to your income) • The welcome chest for signing in now also holds a guaranteed EPIC agent, on top of the 150 gems and golden key • New World Boss icon, plus custom icons in place of the last stock emoji across the game • Prefer the old bottom menu? Settings > General > MENU STYLE switches between the painted menu and the classic one • New painted art and sound effects for every event • The World Boss schedule now comes from the server, so boss times can change without an app update • Fixed: on iPhone the bottom menu icons could disappear after returning to the game (the menu still worked) • NEW: Weekly career challenges. Win league matches, attack the World Boss and win ranked matches for trophies every week, plus a bonus for finishing all three • NEW: Career skill perks. Every career skill now unlocks a match perk at levels 50, 100 and 250 (accuracy, faster reactions, moving accuracy, less body damage, faster plants and defuses, extra grenades) • NEW: Pick your career agent's role.

Earn Marksman, Headhunter, Executioner and Legend of the Feed for 1K, 5K, 10K and 25K career frags • NEW: Career highlights on your profile: career frags, best match, aces, clutches and best streak, for everyone to see • NEW: Profile banners. Earn painted backdrops for your profile (Founder, Boss Slayer, Harvest, Top 10, prestige tiers and more) and pick one in your profile • Career Mode has a fresh look: a big overall rating, clean stat tiles and skills grouped into Attack and Defense • The top of your profile is cleaner: one prestige line, your titles on one line and all your emblems in a single row • The Harvest skin cards and the Harvest profile photo now have falling leaves • A gold badge on the chat bar shows new clan chat messages • Profile photos you unlock stay unlocked even after you sell the agent

• Gear fusion now lets you **pick** the three pieces, and tells you before you confirm whether the result is a guaranteed set or a random one • Fuse three pieces from the **same set** and the result is that set — mix sets and it rolls • ANCIENT and RELIC listings only **hold a market slot if you have that tier checked under GUARD** — untick it and they clear like any other listing • The BONUS X2 button now shows **+10** while it is running, so you can see another ad stacks (or MAX at the 30-minute ceiling) • Clan settings — join mode and minimum power — are reachable from a in the clan header, with presets based on your own clan's power • **Prestiging no longer blocks you from joining a clan**: minimum power is judged on your all-time peak, not your reset run • Tapping a tab at the bottom minimizes the chat drawer • Anti-cheat: reward claims wait for a trusted device clock, and the server flags a save whose history is longer than the account has existed • **Gear fusion keeps your set.** Fuse three pieces from the same set and the result is that set, guaranteed. Mix sets and it rolls a random one • Gear fusion now lets you **pick** which three pieces go in, and tells you whether the result is guaranteed or random before you confirm • Clan settings (join mode, minimum power) are reachable from a in the clan header — they were buried at the bottom next to DISBAND • Tapping a tab at the bottom now minimizes the chat drawer • Reward claims wait for a trusted device clock; the server flags a save whose history is longer than the account has existed

• Fixed: the @ name suggestion list really does close now — on sending, on tapping away, and on picking a name (thanks again AHRIMAN, who told us twice) • Fixed: ANCIENT and RELIC listings that were already on your market before the countdown feature arrived had no timer and no — and were being kept forever. They now show their countdown and can be dismissed (thanks Kenneth) • Fixed (server-side, already live): ranked scrims rejected your roster with "bad roster" if any agent had been fused or evolved past its rarity's normal stat range — the more you invested in an agent, the more certainly you were locked out (thanks Kenneth) • Fixed: buying a second rank of a Prestige Shop upgrade took your Commendations but kept showing rank 1 — the rank is now kept (thanks Kenneth). Anyone affected gets their real rank back on the next sync; the server had it right all along • **Gear fusion.** Three spare pieces of the same slot and rarity fuse into one of the next tier up. The set is re-rolled, so you might not get the set you fused • BONUS X2 now **stacks**: every rewarded ad adds 10 minutes on top of what is left, up to 30 minutes banked • Friends list redesign — one compact line per friend instead of three, with badges on the name line • New clan research — **Recruitment Drive**: +2 member slots per level, up to 5 levels. A level 10 clan caps at 40, so a fully researched one reaches 50 (idea from AHRIMAN)

• New: ANCIENT and RELIC listings now show how long they stay on the market (24 hours) and can be dismissed if you don't want one holding a slot • **Rebirth is worth it forever now.** Every rebirth permanently raises your idle income and team power by itself — it compounds, so P5 is worth more than P4 and it never stops paying • New: Prestige Shop upgrades can be bought over and over. War Bonds and Elite Drills have no rank limit; Deep Reserves and Expanded Roster go up to 6 and 4. Commendations always have somewhere to go • New: the rebirth page shows your current income and power bonuses, and exactly what the next rebirth raises them to • Fixed: the @ name suggestions stayed open after you sent a message (thanks AHRIMAN) • Fixed: the TRANSFERS tab could never show its notification dot, and unclaimed achievements had no dot anywhere

• Fixed: tapping an emoji from the search results did nothing — the results sat outside the part of the picker that handles taps • New: a Recent row at the top of the emoji picker, remembering the last 24 you used

• New: agent rarity now counts toward TEAM POWER — each lineup agent adds its rating × a rarity weight (Common ×1 up to Relic ×8), so better agents, fusion, evolution and ascension move your power much more. Income is unchanged • Changed: prestige now needs 7,500 team power for P1 and grows ×1.4 per tier (P2 10,500 · P3 14,700 · P4 20,580 · P5 28,812) • Changed: AUTO lineup and the MY TEAM dot now pick agents by their power contribution; MY TEAM shows the RARITY share of your power • Changed: the world ranking's teams were rebalanced to match the new power scale • New: "Strike-Command" and "Arsenal" emoji tabs in chat — our game icons and weapon silhouettes — plus more war emoji • Changed: training asks for confirmation before it starts • Changed: if SOUND FX is turned off, the live match shows a one-tap SOUND FX OFF notice • Fixed: gunfire sounds could stay silent on some phones after the app was paused mid-match • Fixed: your prestige badge now shows beside your name on new chat messages right away • Changed: the agent StrclyChaos is now called Chaos, and the Harvest skins read Phoenixx and Chaos (no longer all caps) • Changed: the lineup on your profile now shows the same details as MY TEAM — training bonus (+N), evolution and the ascended badge • Fixed: ascending a signature agent now raises its power — each step lifts the agent to the new tier's top signature stats (agents you already ascended are upgraded automatically) • Changed: leaderboard rows now read [CLAN] Name, prestige, then badges — season titles no longer crowd the name (they still show in chat and on profiles)

• Fixed: the SCOUT REPORT button did nothing — scouting your rival works again • Fixed: taps on SCOUT RIVAL / START NOW could be lost while the match result was showing • Changed: trophies are now protected by the save-integrity check, like gems and keys • Fixed: trophies from cups (Recruit gear set) now count toward your lifetime trophies • New: HARVEST FESTIVAL — earn Harvest tokens from league matches, wins and Harvest crate pulls (up to 60 a day) and spend them in the new TOKEN SHOP on the limited HARVEST PHOENIXX and STRLCYCHAOS, crate pulls, gems, keys, gear and cash (shop open until Nov 30) • New: the Harvest crate now guarantees a limited skin within 25 pulls for signed-in players, and a community harvest goal gives every contributor a free crate pull • New: REFERRAL MONTH card on HOME — your code, copy/share, friends recruited, a countdown and recruit milestones (1 → 2 golden keys, 3 → 1 star key, 5 → 2 star keys, 10 → 5 star keys) • New: enter a friend's code and get 50 gems + 1 golden key instantly; referral rewards now unlock at 300 power (was 500) • New: FREE GOLDEN KEY in the Shop — watch an ad for a free golden key, up to 3 a day (sign-in required) • New: SCOUT LEVELS 11 and 12, a bigger STATS page with new icons, and SALVAGE ALL for gear • New: press and hold REFRESH on the transfer market (stops by itself on a GUARD-checked rarity or when gems run out) and hold UPGRADE on career skills • Changed: league matches are now MR8 — first to 9 rounds, 8-8 is a draw, sides swap after round 8 (ranked scrims and the Weekly Open stay best of 10) • Changed: jump straight into the game on first launch — sign in whenever you like (played before? the SIGN IN bar restores your squad) • Changed: your very first match plays at 2.5x speed, the first income upgrade is highlighted, and a SCOUT dot plus a first-day mission point to your first scout upgrade • Changed: the MISSIONS card on HOME shows your next task, and a ready reward pulses • Changed: the break between matches is 1 minute so you can scout your rival (tap START NOW to skip) • Changed: when no ad is available you'll see a friendly message and can try again shortly (rewards only pay out for an ad you actually watched) • Fixed: clan quest, war and raid rewards now land in your balance right away • Fixed: a match played before signing in could get your account wrongly flagged when it synced • Fixed: scout odds under 1% show two decimals instead of rounding

• New: PRESTIGE — rebirth your run for permanent boosts, earn prestige badges, and race fresh on per-prestige leaderboards (the bar doubles each tier) • New: CLAN RESEARCH — ten timed clan techs funded by member donations, plus weekly clan quests, a clan shop and a clan activity log • New: AGENT FUSION and SIGNATURE EVOLUTION — duplicates become star levels, and signature agents grow and ascend up the rarity ladder • New: your profile is now 8 pages — Profile, Rewards, Guides, Achievements, Mentor, Stats, Settings and Support • New: WEEKEND TOURNAMENT, friends and direct messages, a mentor system and a team logo maker • New: HARVEST CRATE free pulls — a free crate twice a day • New: world events, a weekly community goal, SQUAD UP pairings, and best-of-10 matches with a halftime side swap • Fixed: the RANKS table could hide the names of the top three players • Fixed: reinstalling could bring back a run you had already reset with prestige — your prestige progress now always wins • Fixed: MY TEAM and TRANSFERS could freeze on some accounts, and chat, clan and leaderboard layouts are cleaned up across the board

• Fixed: after updating from an old version, the rename prompt and the $2.99 Starter Pack offer could appear on top of the sign-in screen before you had signed in • Fixed: on older phones (Android 6 and 7) whole screens would not switch, taps landed on the wrong button, and pages would not scroll. The game now carries small compatibility shims for those devices (thanks to the player whose review described exactly this) • New: the intro video now plays on every launch — turn it off any time in MANAGER if you'd rather skip it • Fixed: the "Name your team" mission now completes for players who had already renamed before missions existed • Clearer: gems and star keys now show their proper icons everywhere — packs, passes, missions and messages included (star keys no longer look like a golden ticket)

• Fixed: on iPhone and iPad the bottom menu showed only tiny words with no icons. The icons are drawn with a CSS mask that Safari would not resolve, so they came out invisible • Fixed: accepting an application from someone who had already joined another clan told YOU to leave your clan first. It now says they have joined another clan. Same wording fix when inviting a player who is already in a clan • Fixed: the DAILY REWARDS, SEASON PASS and POWER PASS buttons at the top of HOME now show a dot when something is waiting to be claimed, the same as the tabs along the bottom • Fixed: tapping an upgrade's name now opens its explanation. The pop-up only ever worked on locked ELITE upgrades — every upgrade you could actually buy had nothing to tap • Clearer: the ARMORY set lines now say "6/6 owned" instead of just "6/6", so a set you own in full but have not equipped no longer looks like it is active (the set bonus itself always needed 4 pieces EQUIPPED, and that was never wrong)

• Fixed: MY TEAM froze the game (force-close needed) when the bench held more than 60 agents — a portrait de-duplication loop never finished past the 60-face pool (found on Phøenixx's 1,000-agent bench after an elite pack spree) • Fixed: a chosen badge now shows on your rankings row even without loyalty flair, and stays on your old chat messages after a relaunch (ticket #13) • Fixed: every profile card showed the Silver league — the game sent the league name while the server stored an index; your real league now shows after your next sync (ticket #15) • Season pass TASKS tab uses the custom icons • Support: the daily ticket limit is now 20

• Clan card on ACTIVITY now shows your war rank, points and time left, your members' faces, and (for leaders/officers) how many applications are waiting — with a dot on ACTIVITY • Joining a clan comes first: open clans with room are listed to tap-join; creating your own is still there, last • Clan page: member portraits, a countdown chip, a one-line "how to score", and a toast with your result and rewards after each war • Clans level faster: +5 XP per power sync, +10 per member per day, and the whole war score becomes clan XP at season end • New clans are open to join by default; applications nobody answers in 3 days are accepted automatically; leaders get a notification when someone applies • War rewards need an actual opponent in the bracket and at least 100 points; every member of a bracket winner earns the War Champion badge • Founding a clan is free from 1,500 team power, otherwise 100 — joining an existing clan is always free • Profile photo picker now offers every portrait in the pool (your own agents first), not just your roster • Transfer market: refreshing shows one toast instead of a stack that covered the REFRESH button

A big under-the-hood fairness and integrity pass: server-verified pack openings, tamper detection, and report-a-player from any chat profile card (tap a name, view profile, Report). New players now start with TEN agents — day-one squads can experiment with swaps right away. Cups scale with you: past the newcomer curve, opponents draw from your current power — no more walkovers. VIEW RANKING on a player card now jumps straight to that player on the board. The welcome screen now links our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and the CGS ID portal asks for agreement before an account can be created. Fixed: signing into a different account no longer inherits the previous account's local progress, and no two agents share a photo in the same view.

Seasons now seed REAL players' teams when you're online: rivals near your power are snapshot copies of actual managers (they grow by the same fairness rules as generated rivals and never affect the real owner's record), with a seamless fallback offline. Real-player rivals show a green dot and their clan tag. League balance retuned: fixtures now center on even odds — most matches land in a 40-65% win-chance band with real variance, instead of swinging between unwinnable and 95% walkovers. Every match feels winnable but earned.

Introducing CGS ID: one free account for every Chaotic Game Studios game — sign in with email (2FA supported), Google, or Apple, and sync your squad across devices. New welcome screen: pick CGS ID, Google, Apple, or Play Offline. Link your existing sign-in in Manager → Account and keep all your progress.

Redeem codes: enter a gift code in the Manager screen to claim crystals or golden keys — no sign-in needed. Plus: new loading splash with the new icon, trivia bot now fires exactly on the hour and half-hour with 360+ questions, and old trivia messages clear out so real chat never gets buried.

- New app icon and loading splash screen - Trivia questions now land right on the hour and half-hour, and old trivia messages clear out so chat stays readable

The match view comes alive: agents are now animated soldiers — walk cycles, weapon-carry idles, visible deaths with lingering bodies, and their bought weapon as a separate layer with recoil. Chat upgrades: opens at the newest message, a live preview of the last messages right in the chat bar, and a stray display bug fixed. Rivals now keep pace with mid-season power surges, trivia bot asks every 30 minutes with 360+ questions, and clans can be found with search + apply. Plus: UI sound pack, activity hero cards, and fixes for the loading screen.

Global chat is live: talk to every signed-in manager from the bar at the bottom of every screen — emoji, one-tap translate, and message reporting with real human moderation. Plus smoother live matches and the upgraded scrollable emoji picker.

Fixed battle sound effects lingering into the next round -- gunfire crackle scheduled near the end of a round could keep playing for a beat after the round actually ended.

Fixed a rare freeze where a live match's round counter and fighters would stop updating mid-round. A single bad render can no longer blank the whole match view.

Fixed income upgrade cards showing a flat "+$X/s" that never changed no matter how strong your team or league already was. They now show the real $/s you'll actually gain at the next level, same as power upgrades already did Fixed backup failing on a slow connection: the request had an 8-second timeout meant for small API calls, but a well-used save can now be over 1MB — not enough time to upload on a weak connection. Backup/restore now get 30 seconds. Also fixed the earlier "sign in again?" message showing up for this too — it now correctly says the connection was too slow Fixed backup showing "sign in again?" when the real problem was your save being too large for the old server-side limit (256KB) — a well-used account's save data legitimately outgrows that fast. Server limit raised to 2MB, and the error message now tells you what actually went wrong instead of pointing at sign-in Cloud save no longer needs Google to ask you to sign in over and over: after signing in once, the app now stays signed in for 30 days without touching Google again for anything — same approach already used on iOS Backup itself moved off Google Drive onto our own server — Android and iOS now share one save system

Live scrims keep getting better: the play-by-play now narrates YOUR buy and tactic calls, defuses show their progress indicator and sound, and used grenades vanish from your agent's loadout. Boot is quieter too — the intro video plays at most once a day and sign-in asks at most once per launch. Plus: rankings now show true power everywhere.
