#MGSurvive: We know there's been some bumps during launch and we're working hard to sort out the final issues. As an apology, we're giving away 100 SV Coins & 1 Premium Boost pass (1 day) to everyone who created an avatar before 2/2 14:59 (JST). Login to redeem your bonus. (1/3)

A correction was issued shortly after that clarified a type while saying that everyone who created an avatar before Feb. 27 would be eligible to receive the bonus, so brand new players who are just now starting won't be able to receive the gift.

In addition to the gift for players who worked through the launch troubles alongside Konami, the Twitter account also shared a list of changes included in the latest patch. The full changelist was shared in an image attached to the tweet but can also be found below, some of the more notable changes being the adjusted reward balance and the nerfs to the shotgun weapons.

• CO-OP Mission (HARD) – Adjusted the Clear Rank balance
• CO-OP Mission – Adjusted the reward balance
• CO-OP Mission – Adjusted how personal scores are calculated
• CO-OP Mission – Improved the matchmaking
• Fixed a recipe for custom undergarments
• Fixed a rare issue where option parts couldn't be added to some gear

• Adjusted the recipe for Revival Pills
• Fixed a bug where bottles or canteens would disappear when preparing soup

Patches like these and other improvements will be accompanied by scheduled maintenance is also planned to come every Tuesday from 6-9 p.m. GMT during which time online services will be unavailable.
