Gameplay Updates

Bugfixes

Dynamic Map Objects

So many Explosive Barrels were detonated in the Arena that we ran out of barrels for the foreseeable future. If new dynamic map objects return, we intend to release them on maps they are designed for.

• Explosive Barrels removed from Blackstone Arena (Day & Night) and Meriko Summit (Day & Night).

Armory

We’ve continued to refine the Armory and shape it in the direction that fits Arena best. Elements that contributed to a chaotic feel have been removed, and many items have been changed. Explosive Barrels have run out for Armory as well.

Overload

Overload was released in a big, splashy experimental state to ensure that it made an impact on Arena rounds. Overload was designed to increase skillful play on both sides in situations where one team is down a player, rather than allowing the game to get into a stale state. In certain situations, Overload is perfect for remedying this problem. In other situations, Overload is overly effective and puts too much emphasis on the game state after a player has died. We want to scale this back to make sure that the portion of the game before a player dies is always vital in all matches.

While we’re adjusting Overload now, we’re simultaneously looking into other combinations of methods to address those stale game situations. If Overload can’t be adjusted to a less polarizing state, then it’s on the table to disable Overload in Arena until we can re-evaluate this kind of mechanic. We’ll also be adding the option to toggle Overload in Private Lobbies in the near future.

• Can now be cast without dismounting
