GAMEPLAY
- CTF
- We are testing a new mid-field objective called Observation Posts.

- Each Observation Post has one or more turrets that change teams based on who controls the objective.
- A teleporter located near respawn points can be used to directly transport you to an Observation Point you control.
- Controlling the Observation Post will automatically call down a destructive charge from orbit on any flag carrier who is in the air more than 10 consecutive seconds.
- We are testing a new mid-field objective called Observation Posts.

- Added videos.
- General

- Increased FPS limit
- Added a new ski toggle setting called Hold to Maintain which maintains skiing until the player lets go of forward or backward buttons.
- Player reporting updated.
- Movement

MAPS
- New map “Hollow” added for initial testing. Hollow features a middle ground of hill depth between Katabatic and Torment, as well as quite a few more obstacles than we’ve typically tested before.
- Added an Observation Post to every CTF map.
- Added base team coloring to some maps.
- For example, the bases in Wavemist should now team color Blue for friendly and Red for enemy. This will be added to more maps over time.
- Moved Radars to more secure locations in several maps. Generally the goal was to get them out of the direct line of sight of the enemy base.
- Numerous WIP art revisions, additions, and improvements across all maps.
FIXES
- Fixed an issue where the Announcer would say the wrong line when flags were returned
- Fixed an issue where the selected loadout would always default to light offense.
- Fixed an issue where "lives remaining" messages were reversed in Team Deathmatch
- Fixed an issue where the UI for switching teams in custom lobbies overlapped with the scroll bar.
- Fixed an issue where dropped flags would not always inherit owner's velocity
- Fixed an issue where the generator icons would double up if a player backfilled into a match.
- Fixed an issue where non-slider mutators could not be reset to their default value.
- Fixed an issue where the player gravity mutator did not apply.
- Fixed an issue where the radial VGS menu would not block an input if it was the last input in the stack (e.g. inputting [VGF] would cause you to drop the flag if you were carrying it).
- Fixed an issue where closing the radial VGS menu with RMB would put the VGS menu into a bad state and cause the player to go into ADS.
- Fixed an issue where legacy VGS menu could not be closed by escape and RMB
- Fixed an issue where 1P weapon FX were playing in 3P.
- Fixed an issue where chainguns would not fire if fire input was released then very quickly pressed again while firing.
- Fixed an issue where the proximity mine would play its deploy animation and SFX twice after being placed.
- Fixed an issue where the proximity mine would self-destruct when placed on certain surfaces (e.g. flagstand area on torment).
Miscellaneous
- Localization improvements.
- EULA updated.
- Denuvo anti cheat added.
Known Issues
- Players may get stuck in the video widgets while playing the Tutorial and will need to restart their client.
