The July 27 Patch Notes are as follows (removed the fluff lines):
This maintenance brought many changes to the Shop, including:
• Several former WRC-only Items can now be purchased with Dinar
• Several former Premium-Only Items can now be purchased by everyone
• New Items have been added
• A number of items have been removed
• The prices of several items (both cash and Dinar) have been adjusted
But what are the actual items in each of these bullet points? I want to see a thorough list in future patch notes, instead of relying on the community to know what the previous state of the game was and then having to compare with the new state.
Much needed features on a forum
- A spoiler tag or otherwise collapsible element.
- More flexible tabling.
- Not being forced to sign out.
- Quoting buttons.

But yeah here is the list that I have comed up with and also my personal thoughts:
1. Several former Premium-Only Items can now be purchased by everyone/new f2p items added:
M500, K7, M21, Tac-15, AR7, DSR1, T65K_Camo, Degtyarov, HK_G11, Scar_L_Black, Javelin, RPzB54, Military Supply Key 50k dinar, Gold Key 30000 dinar, CFRP/FC/FRM 5k dinar for 1.
Most of these are just worse version of other weps, but it comes down to the weapon balance again which we should be getting at some point, its been confirmed but its not known what we will get and whether it will help or not.
Javelin is nice addition tho, it was needed, the keys are alright, though the gold key could use some renewing because if a f2p player spends a 30k for a key and wins something like 10 days p90 silver, that's just going to stink, it should only have useful items, it does have some good ones at least like sp ups and HP kit.
2.New (Cash/Premium) Items have been added:
-8th slot: CX4Storm, Spectre_M4, Vector_Black, K1_Gold, M4A1_Gold, M134_Gold, AW50F, Barrett_M82, L85A1, Grenade Bow (WRC Only, 306WRC/30D)
I like it in a sense that there is some logic behind this, there are 2-3 8th slot weapons for each class for a reasonable price and that we finally have 8th slot weapons available all the time instead of occasional permanent sales.
2.1, 6th slot: Heavy ammo box Dinar/Cash Premium only, HP Kit Premium WRC only.
-3rd/5th slot: Cash only: Famas, XM8, Sig550, F2000, CX4Storm, FGM_172_Predator, 9K32_Strela, CarlGustav, MPX.
Premium/Dinar: Spectre_M4, TMP9, M72_Law, Scar_H (moved from f2p to prem).
Also T-Bomb for WRC.
Nice additions for Heavy, it had so little items available in the past but not anymore, scar-h for prem only is worse than removing it from the shop, only good thing about it was because it was f2p so f2p players could fight back against p2p players at least little bit...
2.2, Some random boxes from Nexon times, Famas 5th and Fams 8th slot Permanent random box with guaranteed permanent national famas or camo famas for 1700 WRC.
Added some packages like A.I Total package 1, 2 & 3, Snow esl M4a1/K1 premium pckg, epic weapons premium packages with random box that has chance for permanent and DBR_Snake pckg etc. etc.
Items removed: Just some cash items I think and also the character additional parts that gives even more stats.
Don't like the random boxes, especially because they are from Nexon era, I saw some people in the discord chat who tried those and were super disappointed about getting something stupid like flash mine for 3 days etc. better remove those quickly for now and re-do them.
I liked that they added some A.I packages, should have done this at the launch tho and not a fan of the Famas permanent random boxes, people were complaining how they would like to have their own country weapons instead of random ones.
And removing the op character parts is good.
I was quite disappointed after the maintenance but this could be the first small step towards better WR, first I was excited and thought that this was gonna be a big step, like making sp ups, px items, 5th slot or all the weapons in the shop for dinar but nope, hoping to see more "baby steps" like this for making WR an actual F2P game.
I also lurked a little and it seems like they have a prioritization list or something like that -
are going to report the bugs about zombies being stuck in the wall and
the third stage not completing on occasions to Dream Execution, however
you must understand it doesn't have full priority right now."
Hopefully netcode, balance and optimization changes are the ones in the top of the list because this isn't how a game in 2017 supposed to look like. But I am hopeful.
Though we will hear about wr's future 4th next month in the WR twitch stream if they do it:
I still think netcode should be the first thing they change, at least imo. While the other changes will help, they're kinda pointless if Papaya doesn't fix player warping through corners.
One change I'd like them to do is to add 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours premium to the coupon system. Nexon used to have that around 3 years ago and it was pretty good for the game. 15% SP, medic boxes and such for everyone who saved enough tickets.
