Dev's comment: The Taego world updates focus on rebalancing and enhancing existing areas to enrich the overall gameplay experience. A key highlight is the transformation of the Studio area on Taego’s outskirts into the newly themed Hospital. We've also added more looting spots and cover to support diverse combat scenarios. Our goal is to provide a broader range of strategic options while alleviating player stress. We've also improved terrain that previously posed strategic challenges. These changes are designed to expand looting opportunities in the early game and bolster defensive positions in later phases, promoting varied routes and tactics. Moving forward, we will continue to refine map balance and enhance each map’s unique appeal by introducing changes that challenge conventional playstyles.
