From time to time you have to do more than just shoot your enemies. Today we explain/introduce one of the new features of the 0.2 release of OPK to you.

1. Kit-Upgrade

To give everybody the right tools, we implemented an upgrade-system. You have the possibility to get an upgrade for some of kits (i.e. an antitank soldier gets a stinger upgrade). The following pictures compare the standard and the upgrade kits.



How to Order:
- You have to be squadleader or close to your sql or an ammobox.
- Press your squad-commrose Key (default 'T') and choose "Upgrade Kit".
- If your request was succesfull, a kit appears below your player
- Press the 'G' key (or your custom key) to pick it up.


Please note:
- Your kit(that you have chosen in the join-menu) must have an upgrade (not all classes have one .. i.e. the MG-gunner does not have one jet)
- You can only request one kit per spawn


2. Pilotkit

As most of you surely know, the standard kits in OPK have no parachute.
If you want to jump out of a jet or a chopper, you should request a pilot kit first.
Note that you have to be close to a plane or a chopper to get one.


3. Change of plans

The change of plans affects several maps.
Some custom-maps (originally from the WTF-clan (www.wtf-base.de)) will be part of the release.
Unfortunately one of our own maps (Osicje Valley) had to be delayed to a later update.
we already presented it in our Dev Diary.

Don't worry - the preparations for the final release have already begun ...
(a Torrent, FTP and HTTP-downloads are being prepared for you right now)
