Patch Highlights
Spawn Blockers
Spawn blockers have been added into both Artifact and Team Deathmatch game modes. What this means is that players will be able to move around in a closed area while waiting for the round or match to start. Things to remember:
1. Firearms and tacticals can be gripped but not used during this period
2. (Artifact) The Artifact Scanner can be picked-up and holstered during this period
