AVA RE:BIRTH Eases Hunting Field Difficulty After Closed Beta
The cost limit system targets equipment power creep rather than the game's core gunplay, a different priority from the balance complaints the closed beta drew.

G.O.P announced on October 14 the changes coming to AVA RE:BIRTH at launch, following the closed beta test held from October 2 to 7. The new PvPvE extraction mode Hunting Field will have enemy NPC attack power, reaction speed, spawn positions, and behavior patterns adjusted, with the stated aim of a less stressful combat experience. Combat feel and hit feedback will be strengthened. Modes Occupation, Escort, and Deathmatch appear in the latest trailer, and the custom room feature from the closed beta will be unlocked along with server selection. A Black Market exchange will be added, where items can be bought and sold with lowest-price displays, search categories, and a favorites list. After launch, G.O.P plans an equipment cost limit system that caps the total cost of worn gear in every mode except Hunting Field, plus a clan feature at an unannounced timing. AVA RE:BIRTH is scheduled to begin PC service in fall 2026.
The closed beta ran from October 2 to 7, though the play report covering it dates the window as October 1 to 7. That report found only three modes playable: Demolition, Annihilation, and Hunting Field. Demolition carried maps ASLAN, HAMMER BLOW, and DUAL SIGHT, and Annihilation used COLD CASE, PYRAMID, and DOCK. The report also noted a mismatch in Annihilation between the displayed kill count and the actual end of the match.
Hunting Field is the mode taking the brunt of the rework. Its difficulty drew complaints, and a practice mode, Hunting Field Training, offers an invincible state but returns no items on a successful escape.
