Classic Mode Updates

Introducing a handy repair item for battle: the Spare Tire. No need to abandon your vehicle anymore just because it has a busted tire! With the ability to make emergency repairs and the Pillar UAZ's super armor, enemy bullets will never touch you. Or, fire from the driver's seat with one hand and break through when you're surrounded. Firearm performance has always been a top priority. The new Heavy Stock attachment offers reduced recoil at the cost of slower aiming speed, giving you yet another tactical option.
