Although full specifics of the upcoming patch are yet to be revealed, one can expect it to largely concentrate on rectifying recent bugs rather than introducing drastic changes. Among the glitches targeted at this update are those linked with the debut of the BTR vehicle on the Woods map, such as invisible vehicles showing only the drivers.

Game Director Nikita Buyanov hinted at upcoming enhancements and changes, including improvements to game mechanics, balance issues, and the introduction of new features. It’s clear that the Battlestate team is providing constant innovations to engage its player base.

Lastly, the launch of the 14.5.5 update is happening as the current game cycle nears its conclusion. This might pose a challenge for new players but new in-game events launched post-update could potentially rekindle their interest.
