Loadout

• Ability and Grenade Packs
  • Added a HP bar and damage number are now shown to deployed turrets.
  • Using Blink no longer cancels shooting/reloading

GAMEPLAY

• General
  • Added 3 player icons and 1 kill banner. These are found in the cosmetics screen.
  • Added more feedback to the destructive flag charge and reduced widget scale size.
  • Added a kill feed icon for Lava kills and the Flag destructive charge.
  • Doubled Base Repair accolade reward threshold from 10% to 20%.
  • Score
    • Players now receive 15 points every 20 seconds they are in a match.
    • Players now receive points toward their score for time defending the flag.
  • VGS
    • Enabled Legacy VGS by default.
    • Added full set of keybinds for Legacy VGS.
    • Allowed VGS menu keys to be rebindable
  • Added a keybind to swap to the previous weapon held.
  • Added a weapon inspect keybind.
• Movement
  • Significant Improvement to zero Z speed and negative Z speed thrust values for all classes
    • Note: Light and Medium classes will now be able to pass the “bridge test,” of falling off a ledge and using their jetpack to return to where they stood.
      • This improvement will have an overall positive effect on route running and mobility, so we would like to see how it plays out before making any further changes.

MAPS

• All Maps:
  • Observation Post:
    • The Observation Post has a new building structure that is the same in all maps. This replaces the different layouts of the OP in previous versions, and should make the location more immediately identifiable.
      • The OP meshes are still blockout, and are intended to be replaced over time.
    • The teleporter exit for the Observation Post is now out of line of sight of the capture point. This is to prevent poor play from players coming right out of the teleporter and killing players capturing the point.
    • The teleporter entrance to the OP has been moved from player spawn rooms to the Bases, somewhat near the flag stand.
      • This will increase the time between killing an enemy at the OP, and that same enemy suddenly appearing back in the teleporter.
      • This will make the OP teleporter an option for defending players at the base moving to the midfield, as previously it was less viable to run back to your spawn and use it.
    • Moved the location of the OP in Drydock.

• New Map: Raindance
  • A recreation of the classic map Raindance has been added. This is still in early blockout form.
