With Christmas around the corner, we are continuing to push fixes and improvements based on the valuable feedback you are all providing us with. If you have any feedback or just want to chill, please Join us on Discord!

And remember all feedback is welcome, your input directly affects what we do next.

Blaidd added to armory

Several months ago a special little soul joined our team, and as part of this update he’s now in the game in the armory! Blaidd (our misbehaving studio cat) can now be found hanging out in the armory. If you need a reminder on his story and how he came into our lives, you can check it out here: https://youtu.be/q_FYQqo64JY

VORTEX team skins

One of the prizes for the MIAMI VAIL MAJOR lan tournament was custom in game skins for the first prize winner. As of this update we’ve added the MK418 VORTEX skin and in future updates we’ll be adding full character skins and a skin for the G17. These are only available to the players that won that tournament, but stay tuned for more tournaments coming next year.

Improved 1v1s

Based on community feedback, we’ve made huge improvements to all of the 1v1 maps to make them more fair and fun. Every 1v1 map was made bigger with more cover and spawns. There is a known issue with the spawning logic that will spawn you right next to your enemy occasionally. We are working on fixing this for the next update.

Reversed Khidi Changes

To make reversed Khidi more viable, we added more routes for the colonists to get into the museum and mall. There’s now a route from mid that leads you into the museum, and an alternative route from the skate park that leads to the side entrance of the mall.

Other Changes

• We made improvements to the firearm damage impulse to the player’s own character. So if you get shot or take damage from the grenade, the character will ragdoll in the direction of the force from the bullet or explosion.
• The rebranded Graviti vending machine in the armory has a new video advertisement playing.
• Reduced haptic intensity on controllers when shooting

• Improved performance and stability of 1v1 and FFA game modes
