Patch Notes/v14.2

Hey Survivors!

Farlight 84 is scheduled for an awesome tune-up to Version 14.2! The downtime will be approximately [3] hours. We apologize for the inconvenience, but on the bright side, you'll be compensated with Gold x4,000!

## WHAT'S NEW

All new Battle Pass [Core of Vigor]

In a laboratory that completely isolates the flow of data signals, these high-energy unknown technologies are proof of the advent of God. Fanatical mechanical descendants regarded the AI professor as the incarnation of a god, and fought to preserve their supreme world-saving technology.

Isle City has opened up a holographic database, and many heroes have used it to experience the mysterious energy buried deep at sea. The Core of Vigor is now open!

#### Battle Pass Phase 4

	* Limited-time UR Skin Sunil [Vigor Frenzy]
	* Limited-time SSR Skin Stellar Wind [Beam Storm]
	* and a ton of other SR Skins, loads of Diamonds and Gold, just begging to be unlocked!
2. This new Battle Pass will last from [2022/12/22 00:00 UTC] - [2023/03/21 23:59 UTC], during which you can get awesome rewards by completing Missions to upgrade your Pass level!

### Return of Sunset City

Due to the presence of various scientific and technological research companies, Sunset City was once regarded as a place where the sun never sets on the surveyed coastline. However, science and technology failed to ensure human survival during the environmental crisis, and even accelerated the depletion process of the earth. Now, the tournaments between Capsulers brought the eyes of the world back here again, waiting for the "sun" to rise again...

Sunset City rises again... Survivors can battle to their heart's content here!
