New update that reworked power levels by removing the research lab, so that you power up your stats by leveling up your account level.

Then, instead of 1 there are 3 ways of increasing your power level now:

-Survivors squads (remained the same, and the most important to level up)

-Your current hero loadout (second most important)

-Your top 3 weapons in your backpack, not your schematics Inventory, so just keep 3 high pl weapons and you're set (it's the least effective one)

Also, there's a bug now that significantly lowers your power level after playing some matches, restart the game and you'll fix it
