Separate terrain from the active zone
The current Steam overview describes randomized 2 × 2 km Control Zones inside larger maps. Terrain provides roads, cover and delivery routes; the active objective determines where team presence earns points. Check both the Control Zone and the smaller Hot Zone before leaving base.
Bakurani spawns and routes in Season 02
The existing Bakurani battlefield has rebuilt and relocated spawns for all three teams, with purpose-built routes toward the zone. Relearn the departure, approach and return journey for the selected faction rather than relying on an older spawn screenshot.
This confirms Bakurani by name and the spawn rework. The notes do not provide exact coordinates, a complete map catalog or guaranteed travel times. Use the current session label and live markers when sharing a destination.
Rain changes observation and sound
The new rain preset makes surfaces, characters and vehicles visibly wet. Rain sounds vary outdoors, under cover, indoors and inside vehicles; destroying a roof lets rain appear through the opening. Thunder is synchronized for players and can mask footsteps.
Spotting range is affected, and rain reduces Molotov fire. No fixed visibility distance or rain penalty percentage is published. Recheck a sightline and listen from the actual cover rather than assuming a dry-weather route works the same way.
Read the entry restrictions
The patch groups these restrictions under the lead context in the first row:
| Rule | Published condition or limit |
|---|---|
| Lead context for the restrictions below | A team leads by more than 10 points |
| Switching again after joining a team | 15-minute cooldown |
| After switching teams or joining a match in progress | Map obscured until first Control Zone entry |
| Spawn vehicle access | Unavailable until first Control Zone entry |
Account for the first Control Zone entry when coordinating a late arrival or team change. Agree on a route with the squad and follow the live entry prompt.
Plan the route and delivery
Choose a destination, vehicle approach, unloading space and return path. Verify which Build, Fuel, Ammo or Mechanical resource the receiving FOB actually needs. Purchased vehicle inventories are private to the driver and squad by default; the owner can open access after fully unlocking the vehicle. Free team-spawned vehicle inventories remain public.
Squad leaders can publish a predefined intent visible to the team; use it to make the destination and job clear. Assistance request pings last longer in Season 02, but a ping is not a guarantee that a route is safe. For aircraft, select a landing area and alternate and allow for slower parachute opening.
Sources and navigation tools
The official Season 02 notes document Bakurani, rain, entry and inventory changes. Third-party maps can help with shared drawing and orientation after their version and labels are checked; they are not a live tactical feed or guaranteed firing solution.

Read every value with its version.
Official changes use first-party announcements. Item fields without a current official table remain labeled as dated gameplay records until they can be checked in the public client.
