The developers have decided to give players the opportunity to enjoy a more diverse and flexible options that will help to prove themselves in the case quite well. In addition to the aforementioned ROs were awarded on the basis of points for kills and multiplier for place. It is worth noting that now certain restrictions have been removed and players will be able to get more ROs in a match. In general terms, the situation is as follows: at the time of RO calculation for kills, the difference in ranking categories of the killer as well as the victim will be counted. In addition, the RO limit for kills can be reached in different ways.

At the time the kill points are calculated, the difference in rank categories of the victim as well as the killer will also be counted. If a platinum player destroyed a diamond player, the kill is valued at 12 RO, not 10. There are also a few more changes and the first thing worth noting is that the loss of victim points is not increased, but also not decreased in terms of entry cost since the modifier is only able to work for the assassin. Once the differences in the categories are lost, the bonus points for the kill will actually be added.

The developers also said that the maximum amount of RO per kill can not exceed 175 units. Playing in the category, Platinum player can join his friend, who is in the category Diamond, and then being in the lobby with similar-rated players can scratch out a place committing six kills.
