• We set a new Horde Mode final score softcap of 500,000 pts. and purged the global Leaderboards of any scores above it, as we've deemed those to be non-human. As always, in the spirit of the mode and the sanctity of classic IRL local arcades, we encourage you to challenge other Slayers on your friends list, and most importantly, your own personal best
• We encourage any Slayer looking to prove their Horde Mode global dominance to check out the brand new, community-run, peer-reviewed, Unofficial Horde Mode Leaderboard

BATTLEMODE 2.0

Update 6.66 brings the biggest and most important update to the game mode so far. Now, more than ever skill matters in BATTLEMODE. The more you win, the better the players you face off against will be. Complete BATTLEMODE 2.0 Series Challenges to increase your Rank, unlock new rewards and attain a higher Leaderboard position Hot Streaks Hot Streaks are key to the more competitive BATTLEMODE 2.0 design The new Streak Tracker on the top of the Player Card tracks wins and losses played in Public Matches, activating after the first win as a Slayer or a Demon. When the Streak Tracker is active, additional wins are tracked as checkmarks and losses as X’s

• A Hot Streak card is awarded when a player wins four games before losing two
• The Streak Tracker resets after losing two matches before a Hot Streak card is awarded
• The number of Hot Streak cards you have determines your Rank and Leaderboard position

Additional details:

• Playing as the Slayer and as a Demon each has their own respective Streak Tracker
• Exiting a Public match prematurely will count as a loss
• The Streak Tracker does not record wins and losses from Private Matches
• Rewards from the series page and the requirements to unlock them are different for Slayers and Demons

Time for some helpful infographics! https://images.contentful.com/rporu91m20dc/4nexmlX0lQywIY56S6PeZn/c918616e176c74ac20f26f6a31e41fb4/badge-markers.png 1. Streak Tracker This is the streak tracker (not to be confused with Hot Streak) this is to highlight the user what level of streaks they are currently at. This should match up with the same state that 1A 1A. Title Card Border The title card border surrounds the players title card, in conjunction with 1. this too shows the players current streak count and they should match the same visual style (ie: if the streak tracker is stone, the title card border should also be stone 2. Hot Streak Tracker The hot streak counter becomes active when the user achieves 4 wins. When they do, they will complete a hot streak and win a hot streak card 3. Rank A players rank will increase as they accomplish the series challenges. Below is a diagram breaking up the progress of the ranks https://images.contentful.com/rporu91m20dc/b4af8fHQ3xw9VCUSGjFwZ/753fb4bcb0f425f95ada40c337442026/slayer-series-progress.png https://images.contentful.com/rporu91m20dc/62R5Xtdfk5mUsA9iTm6MrT/2fad3039c092aee8b0c9bd74ae67c0ac/demon-series-progress.png https://images.contentful.com/rporu91m20dc/7DJHHWtB2PuMTJpPPvNroX/dec39cc864141f7fc1869dcbc795d8b7/hot-streaks-notext.png Hot Streak Cards When a player completes a hot streak run, they will be awarded a hot streak card (these determine your leader board position). If you got a hot streak playing as a Demon you’ll get a Demon card. If you completed it as the Slayer, you’ll get a Slayer card https://images.contentful.com/rporu91m20dc/77rq5zFBgfLbKdP3U8kIIN/c781d9009a527948002d2860f09d13fd/default-hot-streaks-notext.png 1. Stone Border (Default) - 0 Win Streak(s) 2. Red Border (Hot Streak) - 1 Win Streak(s)

• Each empty check mark will fill in if the player continues their win streaks. If the player fills out all check marks they will complete their hot streak and receive a hot streak card (#2. in the image)
• When a player is on a hot streak, they will have 2 loss forgiveness opportunities (the 2 unfilled x’s) If both x’s become filled, the user will reset to stone (#1. in the image)

Streak-Based Matchmaking With the release of Update 6.66, all Public Lobbies use Streak-based matchmaking. Streak-based matchmaking aims to match you against other players with the same number of Streak wins, broadening the match criteria over time if unmet. Players can join Public Lobbies as a Slayer, a solo Demon or as a Demon team Additional details:

• Players return to the BATTLEMODE 2.0 root menu at the end of every Public Match
• Players are no longer able to play consecutive matches in Public Lobbies - the Shuffle and Replay post-match options have been removed
