The latest Gakuran update isn’t the biggest content drop the game has seen, but it does introduce a few features that players have been waiting for. The highlight is definitely the brand-new Kure Style, along with a larger map to explore, additional music tracks, a new weather app, and a free code that gives rerolls.
If you’re logging in after the update and want a quick breakdown of everything that’s new, here’s what you need to know.
Gakuran Map Update Guide – New Kure Style, Codes
The developers have released a free code alongside the update.
Active Code
| Code | Reward |
|---|---|
| MAPUPDATE | 25 Style Rerolls |
Since rerolls are always valuable—especially with a new style being added—it’s worth redeeming this code as soon as possible.
New Kure Style
The biggest gameplay addition is the brand-new Kure Style.
While the developers haven’t officially revealed its rarity, many players believe it’s one of the rarer styles because it can take a large number of rerolls to obtain.
If you’re planning to unlock it, don’t be surprised if you need to spend quite a few rerolls before it appears.
Kure Style Abilities
Once unlocked, Kure comes with several unique combat effects that make it a strong choice for aggressive players.
Last Stand
When your health drops below 25%, Kure activates Last Stand, increasing your total damage by 15%.
This passive makes the style especially dangerous during close fights, allowing you to deal significantly more damage while low on health.
M2 Headbutt
One of Kure’s special attacks is the M2 Headbutt.
This move:
- Grabs your opponent.
- Disorients the target.
- Deals 1.5× damage.
It’s a strong ability for interrupting enemies while dealing respectable burst damage.
M2 Slam
The second special move is the M2 Slam.
This attack:
- Prevents the opponent from reparrying for 2 seconds.
- Deals 15% block chip damage.
- Causes bleed damage that passes through guard.
Because it punishes defensive players so effectively, this is arguably one of Kure’s strongest abilities.
Map Expansion
The update also expands the world map.
While there aren’t many new gameplay mechanics tied to the expansion yet, players now have a larger area to explore.
If you’ve already explored every corner of the previous map, this update gives you some fresh locations to check out during your next session.
New Music
Music fans also received a small bonus this update.
The developers have added several new songs that can be played through your in-game phone’s music player.
It’s a simple addition, but it gives players a few more tracks to listen to while exploring or hanging out.
Weather App
Another feature added to the in-game phone is the Weather App.
Opening it allows you to see the current weather conditions inside the game.
While it doesn’t dramatically change gameplay, it’s a convenient feature if weather becomes more important in future updates.
Update Summary
Here’s a quick overview of everything included in the update:
- New Kure Style
- Free MAPUPDATE code for 25 rerolls
- Expanded world map
- New music tracks for the phone music player
- New in-game Weather App
Although this update is fairly small, the addition of Kure Style gives players a new combat option to chase. Its abilities focus on aggressive gameplay with bonus damage, grabs, bleed effects, and guard pressure, making it one of the more interesting styles currently available.
On top of that, the MAPUPDATE code provides 25 free rerolls, making it much easier to start hunting for the new style without spending premium currency. Combined with the larger map, new songs, and Weather App, this update offers a nice mix of quality-of-life improvements and fresh content for both new and returning Gakuran players.
