Hello fellow Agents and welcome to the BLR February 2016 update.
We have been working hard to knock out bugs and glitches that you have been finding and submitting via the Blacklight Service Desk; thank you very much for your help and support with those. We have also enhanced areas of the game and created some new content for the community, all of which we hope you enjoy. We are planning to release the next update on 2-Feb-2016 at 5:00 PST.Bugs
First up, let's get the top three issues submitted that we knocked out for the community.- - Tweaked the SMG - Mega glitch fixes on Rig - Missions not awarding GP[/*]
New Features
Training Level
We have updated and brought the training level back. The training level is a work in progress for us; the intent of the level is to explain the core mechanics of Blacklight Retribution to players new and old. Check it out and see what you might learn as a strategic advantage against others.Prestige System and Leveling
Brand new with this update is an improved leveling model for Blacklight. We have increased the level cap to 100 instead of 69 [Ed. "Giggity"] and introduced a cyclical prestige system. Once you hit level 100 you will have the option of receiving 1 rank of prestige, which will then start you at level 1 of your next rank of prestige. For every 100 levels you earn, you can exchange them for 1 level of prestige. We have also reduced the time it takes to reach maximum level. Over the long term the progression scale is much longer than it used to be. The amount of XP to reach our new max level of 100 is much shorter than the amount of XP required to hit the previous cap of 69. At this time we have not implemented any cap on the prestige levels.

After Action Report Screen
Also new in this update is a redesigned AAR. The UI team greatly improved the previous AAR screen, making XP and GP earnings a lot clearer and more stylish.
Lotto Boxes
Hey, look at this! Blacklight is going to have Lotto and Chance Boxes again. Starting in February we will be releasing monthly Lotto Boxes. The contents of the box will be carefully curated and will change monthly.

Valentine's Event
Starting February 2nd and lasting through February 29th, Blacklight will have a few Valentine's Day events and items for the community to have fun with. Included in that are two awesome missions that will liven up your Valentine's Day.Cupid's Kiss - Mission
All you have to do is die in this one. Seems pretty easy except for the fact that your opponent has to kill you with the viral Cupid's Arrow, which is a special ammo type for the Compound Bow. The reward for this is the Cupid's Arrow, which will allow you to complete the "Spread the Love" mission.
Spread the Love - Mission
If you kill 30 enemies with Cupid's Arrow before the event is over, then you will receive the LOVE KILLS title proving once and for all that love is a dangerous game. For every person you kill, you will also be assisting someone else with the Cupid's Kiss mission above. It's a share-share mission of love.
