[New Map - Kreiburg Racecourse]
- About the Central Cipher Machine: As the name suggests, the Central Cipher Machine is located at the center of the map. Decoding the Central Cipher Machine provides Survivors with a 7% Decoding Speed Boost when decoding other Cipher Machines. However, if the Central Cipher Machine is not decoded for 10 seconds, its Decoding Progress will diminish by 1% per second, up to 15% in a single match.
- About Horseback Riding: There are three stables on the map, each with a horse for Survivors and a carriage for Hunters. Survivors and Hunters can interact with them to start riding. Horses and carriages can only move along the racecourse and cannot leave the tracks.
1. About Dismounting: Survivors will dismount when their horse reaches the next stable. Survivors can also choose to dismount when the horse is approaching the stable, but cannot dismount at any other locations. After dismounting, Survivors must wait 40 seconds before riding a horse again. Hunters, however, can exit the carriage at any location. The carriage will also continue to move even after reaching a stable. Hunters do not have to wait to ride the carriage again after exiting.
2. About Spur: Survivors can perform a Spur while riding to increase the horse's Movement Speed for a short period. The Hunter's carriage can perform unlimited Spurs with low cooldowns.
3. About Charge: Upon performing Spur with the carriage, Hunters can Charge at any horse in their path and both the Hunter and the Survivor will stop riding after the collision. Survivors can avoid collisions by moving left and right or by performing a Spur. Survivors or Hunters on the track will be stunned after colliding with a horse or carriage.
- About Tunnels: There are three tunnels that cut through the Kreiburg Racecourse. Survivors can consume all of their Stamina at the entrance of these tunnels to pass through them quickly. Stamina will begin to recover after 7 seconds. Survivors will receive Terror Shock when they're hit while passing through a tunnel.
[New Hunter - "Fool's Gold"]
Name: Norton Campbell
Profession: "Fool's Gold"
Background: With the desire to escape from a life in the darkness of the mines, Norton Campbell believes the Manor will present him with another new "opportunity."
[External Traits]
- Unstable Ground
When "Fool's Gold" strikes an obstacle with his pickaxe, an unstable ground extends 15 meters in both directions from the point of impact and covers all adjacent obstacles. Striking the unstable ground with the pickaxe again or removing the pickaxe from the unstable ground would cause a Collapse.
Collapse: Striking an unstable ground with the pickaxe or removing the pickaxe from the unstable ground would cause a Collapse.
Collapse deals 0.5x normal attack damage to nearby Survivors.
[Initial Abilities]
- Magnetic Conduction (Cooldown: 6 seconds).
Throwing the special magnetic pickaxe and striking an obstacle creates unstable ground. Subsequent throws that hit the unstable grounds would cause a Collapse. If the pickaxe does not hit an obstacle, this ability will receive a 2-second cooldown reduction after the pickaxe is retrieved.
Magnetic Extension: The pickaxe is an extension of "Fool's Gold's" senses and helps him locate "opportunities" from afar. After throwing the pickaxe, it can stay away from "Fool's Gold" for up to 10 seconds, during which "Fool's Gold" can complete most actions such as attacking, vaulting over windows, and destroying pallets. Once this period is over or when "Fool's Gold" is more than 60 meters away from the pickaxe, it will automatically return to him.
Magnetic Retrieval: "Fool's Gold" can swiftly recall the pickaxe when it's thrown and cause a Collapse when the pickaxe is removed from an obstacle.
- Attraction
"Fool's Gold" is attracted to more than just the electromagnetic field. "Fool's Gold" can manipulate the special attraction between his body and the pickaxe to move swiftly toward his pickaxe and retrieve it. If "Fool's Gold" is stopped during this process due to reasons such as colliding with an obstacle, the pickaxe will still fly back into his grasp.
[Tier I Ability]:
- Magnetic Conversion (Cooldown: 25 seconds).
Convert a rock up to 60 meters away into a Magnetic Rock with a special magnetic pull. The Magnetic Rock creates a small unstable ground and lasts for 20 seconds.
Resonance: Whenever a Collapse happens, all Magnetic Rocks resonate and cause a Collapse in their respective unstable grounds. The transmission time of the resonance increases with distance.
[Tier II Ability]:
- Instant Reaction (Cooldown: 20 seconds)
"Fool's Gold" charges up the pickaxe and activates an Instant Reaction when thrown. Instant Reaction immediately causes a Collapse to obstacles outside of unstable grounds and creates an unstable ground. Charging Time: 3 seconds.

Penalties for Violations
It has recently come to our attention that a small number of players have violated our code of conduct through delaying tactics, intentionally losing, idling, playing negatively, using cheats, cheating in Blackjack mode, and hindering matchmaking for top-ranked matches, all of which significantly affect the experience of other players. We have started punishing these violations in order to provide a healthy gaming environment for everyone. We also encourage you to use the in-game reporting system when encountering the behaviors above. Let us work together to maintain order and integrity in the Manor.
