=== Changes in gameplay mechanics ===
* Minor gameplay mechanic change: an expansion of the [[cover|cover taking]] system, which allows a contestant to open fire WHILE taking cover, but with a FT+2 malus. Shooting while taking cover evidently nulls [[stealth shot]] as well. A possible further expansion of this mechanic may include the ability to shoot in the same way while trying to escape a room, also with the FT+2 malus. (Again this needs testing to see if the malus is adequate)

= Post-2.3 fixes =
+
-
* Meta: Purged the "Real-life data" section of all firearm articles, and made it unnecessary to write one for any subsequent ones, in an effort of speeding article writing.
+
-
* Right door [[Endgame]] has been rewritten. The right door choice now leads to a [[Endgame:Right Door|final, difficult adventure.]] The FinalN, FinalA and FinalT endings have been altered. (Pending modifications on the wiki!)
+
-
* Certain weapons have now been made compatible with the [[ACL|Leupold DeltaPoint]]:

**[[Česká Zbrojovka CZ 75 AUTOMATIC]]

-
**[[Česká Zbrojovka CZ 75B]]
+
-
**[[Heckler ＆ Koch USP]]
+
-
**[[Heckler ＆ Koch USP Tactical]]
+
-
* The [[Heckler ＆ Koch MP5/40A2]]'s weight is changed to 9 (previously: 5).
+
-
* [[Maze Customs]] fixes and additions:
+
-
** For balance reasons, there is now a cap on how many custom rounds can be ordered, which is '''either''' 60 rounds OR a full ammo belt.
+
-
** Overpressure ammunition can now be ordered for '''handgun calibers only''' instead of all handgun and rifle calibers.
+
-
** Three new ammo mods are now proposed: '''Segmented''', '''Armor-Piercing (AP)''', and '''Hollow-Point (HP)'''.
+
-
** New modification type for 1911SS, 1911DS, L-Frame and Glock families: '''Barrel material upgrade'''. This service proposes upgrades in what material the barrel of those handguns are made of, which negates some of the negative effects of overpressure ammunition.
+
-
* Slightly fixed the damage tables of [[7.62x54mm R]], [[7.62x39mm]] [[.454 Casull]] and [[7.62x51mm NATO]].
+
-
** 7.62x54mm R is now slightly more powerful against Light and Hardskin.
+
-
** 7.62x39mm is now more powerful against Hardskin, and slightly more against Kevlar-2.

+
-
** 7.62 NATO is now slightly more powerful against all ACs except HEV.
+
-
* [[Weapon accessory|Muzzle brakes]] now have a far different effect, replacing the old one as it was deemed inappropriate and out of place. The new effect is: '''Decreases [[Recoil]] level by 1'''.

== Meta changes ==
+
-
* Weapon naming nomenclature ingame (Internal files and IRC channel) will change to adapt to the changes and additions
+
-
 
+
-
== New [[Gameplay mechanics|gameplay mechanic]]: [[Recoil]] ==
+
-
[[Recoil]] is explained in detail in this article.
+
-
 
+
-
== New [[Weapon accessory]] types ==
+
-
New types of weapon accessories are formally introduced to Mazeworld along with the recoil system, in order to help shooters control the newly-introduced recoil of their weapons in different ways. Those accessories are:
+
-
* '''Bipods'''
+
-
* '''Foregrips'''
+
-
* '''Muzzle brakes'''
+
-
 
+
-
The way they function will be both described in detail on the [[Recoil]] and [[Weapon accessory]] pages. Several weapons of the game will be made compatible, or even come standard with those accessories, retroactively, which will introduce a new dimension of loadout strategy.

The [[Maze Customs]] atelier is an extension to [[workshop|engineering workshops]]. Engineers, which are also by job and nature, gunsmiths, are now proposing a new service: '''firearm customization'''.

Seriously, there's something for everyone here.

Post-2.4 additions

New stuff

  • New type of object in the Mazes: Containers. The Mazes' equivalent of treasure chests... MazeWorld style, of course.
    • New type of Key item, the description of which will be linked on the Containers page: Lockpicking kit, which enables the Lockpicking ability.
    • New type of Key item, the description of which will be linked on the Containers page: Keys.

The additions changed the total roomstyle count to 430, and the total event count to 6163.

Changes and fixes

  • The Colt 9mm SMG's weight has been increased, from 5 to 9. It is also now correctly listed as having the new style UGL mount, allowing it to mount the M203A1 UGL and the Masterkey USG.
  • The Colt AR-15A2's model was modified - previously it was a Government Carbine AR6520, it is now an HBAR R6550. As such, it now has a fixed stock and 20 inch barrel, and a weight of 22 units (previously 14). It is also correctly listed as having the OLD style UGL mount, allowing it to mount the M203 UGL.
  • Several explosives have been significantly buffed, to respond to complaints about their relative ineffectiveness.
  • The General Motors M3 'Grease Gun' and the MAT-49 are now correctly listed as capable of automatic fire only, instead of being select-fire (semi and auto).
  • Shrine gifts given by the gods is now controlled by a new EliasBot command: @Godgifts. They are pre-determined and randomly rolled.
  • Missing event in the event list fixed - the total event count is now correctly displayed as 6139.
  • Description of Heroin in the game files now correctly lists "FT+2" instead of the erroneous "FT+4".
  • The Winchester Model 1887 is now correctly listed as a sawn-off shotgun.
  • The TsNIITochMash PKP Pecheneg's bipod is now listed as integrated rather than standard.
  • The Browning BDA has been replaced by the famous and classic Hi-Power. All relevant changes have been made as well.
  • Beretta 93R now correctly feed Beretta 92 series mags instead of proprietary mags. As such, Beretta 93R magazines have been removed from the game.
  • To compensate and keep the amount of events the same, a new type of magazine has been introduced: the STANAG 60-round casket magazine, and will fit in all STANAG-compatible firearms.

Meta changes

Due to the inclusion of new variety of grenades for grenade launchers, caliber names for those grenades will change and include sub-variations, much like 12 gauge and its individual variants.

New weapons

As always, new weapons to add to the ever-growing list, in order to further refine variety.

New ammunition types

As noted above in the Meta changes, certain calibers will receive new types of ammunition, and existing ones will be renamed.

40mm NATO grenades

Existing 40x46mm grenade becomes M386 HE.

New types of ammunition introduced:

  • M576 buckshot - Fires 20 pellets of #3 buckshot, which is smaller than 12 gauge #00 buckshot. Although each pellet is individually less powerful than double-aught, there are far more pellets and a potential to cause more damage.
  • M651 tear gas - Similar to the M7A3 hand grenade, but in a 40mm NATO grenade.
  • M715 smoke - Similar to the M18 hand grenade, but in a 40mm NATO grenade.
40mm caseless grenades

Existing VOG-25 becomes VOG-25 HE

New types of ammunition introduced:

  • VOG-25P jumping grenade - Is similar to regular VOG-25, but has an additional, smaller charge which causes the grenade to bounce or seem to "jump" before exploding, resulting in an airburst explosion. This grenade has the ability to bypass cover and hit targets behind as if cover was never there.
  • Gvozd tear gas - Similar to the M7A3 hand grenade, but in a 40mm caseless grenade.
  • GRD-100 smoke - Similar to the M18 hand grenade, but in a 40mm caseless grenade.
43mm VGM-93 grenades

Existing VGM-93 becomes VGM-93.100 HEI.

New types of ammunition introduced:

12 gauge belted

Declined in two versions: the existing one is renamed CAWS buckshot. A second, new one, will be introduced as the CAWS saboted slug, and is the CAWS equivalent to the 12 gauge slug.

New encounters

  • The SRT Guard (Special Response Team), a type of Maze Guard with Maze Soldier style weaponry which would work as the Mazes' SWAT equivalent. It would be the hierarchic superior of Guard Sergeants, but still be under the Guard Chief.

Other new features

  • Vault rooms can now lead to a new shop type: the Bank. The vaults in vault rooms have also been made impenetrable and can no longer be opened by hacking a keypad; as said keypad has now disappeared. Vaults may only be operated by a banker, under the fingerprint/heartbeat sensor system already in use in hiring bureaus.
  • A new ability: Waiting in rooms in order to wait for possible encounters to come in the room the contestant is currently in. A standard 2d6 roll is prompted, and depending on the roll result, the roomstyle, and the contestant's Wanted Level, varying types of encounters can come in. The ability can be triggered only once per room, but has no cooldown period.
Banks
  • Banks are a brand new shop type, tied to the vault room roomstyle. They are not scripted.
  • A contestant can open a bank account in one.
  • A contestant can deposit and withdraw money from their account, as well as move money from and/or to shop credits, in the shop type of their choice, and even if they never previously had credit in the shop before. This allows for better flow of the contestant's money and increases the degree of management of their wealth.
  • A contestant can also deposit and withdraw objects and valuables, which are then taken to a vault and kept.
  • No withdrawal fees, no item keeping fees, and no taxes.
  • Bank services can be partially accessed over the phone using the appropriate phone number, so that a contestant can manage their money from anywhere. However, evidently, it doesn't make item management possible.
  • Contestants can use some of the money they have on their account to transfer it to another Mazes resident's account. This can be used, for example, to officially hire someone, and is now the preferred way over simply handing cash in person.

Changes in gameplay mechanics

  • Minor gameplay mechanic change: an expansion of the cover taking system, which allows a contestant to open fire WHILE taking cover, but with a FT+2 malus. Shooting while taking cover evidently nulls stealth shot as well. A possible further expansion of this mechanic may include the ability to shoot in the same way while trying to escape a room, also with the FT+2 malus. (Again this needs testing to see if the malus is adequate)
  • Silencers will lose their FT-1 ability, and will only be useful for stealth.
