Farlight 84 - V15.1.1 Update Developer Notes
Farlight 84 Version 15.1.1 showcases our commitment to delivering an ever-evolving battle royale experience. From hero reworks and new upgrades to enhanced game aesthetics, this update marks the start of an exciting new chapter in the journey of Farlight 84.
▌Hero Changes
Syfer: New tactical skill
In the past few updates, we've reworked a few heroes including Maggie, Ducksyde, MK.R, and more. In this update, to enhance Syfer's diversity and tactical choices, she will also welcome some new changes.
1. Adjusted Syfer's role: Support → Attack
2. New tactical skill "Coords Shift":
◇ Syfer throws an electromagnetic pulse device and monitors its coordinate changes.
◇ During the flight of the device, clicking the skill button can teleport to the coordinates where the device is located. Otherwise, the decoder will directly teleport to the coordinates where the device landed.
◇ Skill combo demonstration: "Coords Shift" quickly teleports to the vicinity of the enemy and uses the ultimate "EMP Shock".
Captain: New design
Starting from this version, we will gradually enhance the game's artistic style. We are beginning with our fireman, Captain, whose new design will emphasize his robust physique with a gentle and reliable twist. His revamped look will shine a light on his truth-seeking journey and his role as a reliable friend in the neighborhood.

Since only 3% of you choose to play Captain regularly, we thought you might need some guides on playing with him and have prepared a video to tell you more.
