Greetings Survivors!

We hope you had a spooky-filled Halloween season! Today’s update is more focused on some housekeeping items!

The custom mode menu got a bit of a makeover so that it’s easier to host, edit and copy custom game presets! You’ll also notice that your cosmetic closet looks a bit cleaner - items of the same type now stack with each other!

Don’t worry we also made some changes in-game too! Traitor hatches now have a 15 second cooldown after use and the hacker’s ability now only charges around other people!
