In White Noise, Team Rainbow premieres two Operators from the 707th Special Mission Battalion for a rescue mission high up Mok Myeok Tower, our new free map. Joining them is our second GROM Specialist turned Rainbow Operator.This last season of Year Two aimed to improve player experience by introducing a new recoil animation for pistols, new UI indicators for Operators' abilities, and a grenade trajectory synchronization. Please find more details below.
2 NEW OPERATORS
To lead Operation White Noise, Team Rainbow recruits two of 707th SMB's finest: Dokkaebi and Vigil.

Each Elite set is Operator-specific, and includes a distinctively themed Uniform, Weapon Skin, Gadget Skin, Chibi Charm, and Signature Victory Animation.
GENERAL TWEAKS & IMPROVEMENTSGAME HEALTH
GRENADE TRAJECTORY SYNCHRONIZATIONWe will be testing a new synchronization logic for some projectiles, with a primary focus being on grenades.
The main purpose for the Trajectory Synchronization change is to fix issues where a grenade would desync on the game client and suddenly teleport back. This synchronization change allows us to align the trajectory between what the server sees and what you see on your client. This will reduce the chances that your grenade will return to you after releasing it. Below, you will find an example of the current issue that this will address:
SERVER PERSPECTIVE
Together with this change, we will take the player velocity into consideration when throwing a grenade. As a result, moving while throwing a grenade will alter the trajectory in various ways. The initial velocity of the grenade will now be combined with the thrower's movement velocity at the time the grenade was thrown. The thrower's velocity will therefore modify the trajectory of the grenade in these ways:
- Throwing a grenade while moving forward will result in a longer throw.
- Throwing a grenade while moving backward will result in a shorter throw.
- Throwing a grenade while strafing will induce a lateral movement in the grenade trajectory.
The initial reason for this change was that we found that it made grenade throws feel better with this new synchronization logic. We were also glad to see that after playing with it for a while and getting used to it, this change made us feel like it added depth and player control to grenade throwing.
This feature is experimental on the TTS, so we welcome your feedback on the
TTS Subreddit.PLAYER COMFORT
PISTOL RECOILWe have changed the pistol animation for greater player comfort. Our overall goal is to make pistols a true choice for players, not just a last resort when you are out of bullets.
Before this change, you always had to aim down the sights because the animation would make the barrel of the pistol lift up in the middle of the screen (where the bullet goes). As a player, you would then have to guess where the enemy is. This issue was especially true if you were aiming for their head.
We have also increased the rate of fire of all pistols. Players can discharge their magazine significantly faster with this change. This has the added benefit of making pistols more lethal, which ties into making them a real choice for players.
NEW UI INDICATORS FOR BUFFS/DEBUFFSWe are introducing buff and debuff indicators on the UI HUD. This will allow for better visualization of when you, for example, have Rook armor or step on a Lesion mine. With the new visual unification of all effects on the player's character, this means anything you have applied to you is now displayed.
This includes:
Rook Armor- Jackal's mark (and marking as jackal)
- Lesion's GU mine
- Dokkeaebi's Phone hack
There also is a color coding:
- Blue: Positive effect
- Red: Negative effect
