Hi I've been busy with school stuff for some time, so no big patch yet. Scrapping System - Basically csgo tradeups - Scrap cosmetics for Scraps - Buy Tier Bags which guarantee an item of the chosen rarity (FYI since the market prices for most items are really low, now is a good time to buy them up, scrap them and get some better cosmetics for cheap) Also Only Legendary Items are now marketable, but all items can still be traded Big stuff like an intercom announcer, combat changes, new weapons, better tutorial and ranked mode are in the works...

Watch EU and NA champions compete over 15 games for a prize pool of 500$ per tourney

I've been collecting a lot of feedback over the weeks and I'm now working on a big patch that should hopefully make the game a bit less dogshit. Ranked mode will come after the game is somewhat stable. FYI join the discord if you want to playtest the patch as its being worked on...

- When a player quits a game, they die and the last attacker is rewarded the kill - Possible fix for dynamite not doing anything up close - Tutorial videos now get removed after some time to prevent soft locks - Buffed Drain - Fixed Bolt lasting only 1 second - Crate lids bend more to reduce chances of getting stuck in them - Explosive arrows now work differently - they fuse as you shoot them and explode 3 seconds later (they can also attach to things) - Other fixes I know a bunch of people are getting false positives from the shitty auto ban system, if you got banned by mistake please tell me in the Discord server - I'll double check and unban you. Still trying to patch cheating exploits and working on other reported bugs...

SEE THE REPORT GUIDE IN THE GAME'S DISCORD YES YOU CAN REPORT PEOPLE FOR CHEATING IN THE GAME ITSELF BUT ITS MORE HELPFUL IF YOU SEND THE STEAM ID AND EVIDENCE IN THE DISCORD (you can see your killers steam ID now) Changes - Updated engine version (may or may not break like half the shit in the game) - Reworked interaction system, you can now do things like cancel applying upgrades (still very WIP) - Added a shitty auto ban system (IF YOU GET A FALSE POSITIVE, PLEASE SEND AN APPEAL IN THE DISCORD) - Bunch of misc technical reworks / fixes This is a mainly back-end technical patch, this doesn't fix most of the issues and bugs that you guys have been reporting. I just spent the past week grinding to fix the cheating issue as they ruin the game for everyone. Other fixes / game tweaks are coming later in later patches.

I didn't expect cheats so soon and I've been grinding for hours now trying to fix these exploits so for now the servers will be down. You can still play in Custom Games though. There is a working ban / report system but I'm adding some extra checks to prevent cheating in the first place. If things get really out of hand, I will have to make the game payed to discourage cheating. Sorry y'all

- Added an early teaming detection system and reporting system (Report players as a spectator) - Added option to disable compass - There are now only 2 zone stages - Fixed a bunch of exploits/bugs - And lots of other balancing Matchmaking and other things are still being worked on, leave feedback in the community discussions or in the discord server

- Added an early version of a compass that shows nearby loot and workbenches - All blueprints are now unlocked by default (as a test) - Increased dynamite fuse time by 1 second - Slightly increased crafted arrow damage - Tweaked match timings If you get any issues, tell me on discord. I know the servers / matchmaking sucks rn im trying to fix it 24/7

- Possible fix for party not joining a server - Reduced chances for invalid spawns when connecting late - Improved general server stability - You can now see more friends when inviting in the menu

Hi folks! Early access will launch tomorrow at 1PM EST DISCLAIMERS

Only EU and NA servers will be available at first, I'll be adding AS servers later.

The servers and matchmaking systems are barely functioning and might crash any second.

Google Cloud is not letting me use more than 12 CPU cores so most of you won't even be able to get into an official match on release (In that case stick to Custom Games until the issue is resolved)

There are tons of bugs because most of the core systems we're made like 2 years ago (One of the first big patches will re-do a bunch of old code)

Ranked mode is disabled on release (Temporarily)

The tutorial sucks and it will be redone completely later on. I do have to warn you that this is honestly a bare bones version of the game, and does not represent the final product. There are many many changes and improvements that I plant to implement later on. ROAD MAP WILL BE POSTED SOON

THE TIME HAS FINALLY COME! THE RELEASE DATE IS APRIL 29TH Watch the Announcement Video As well as the announcement the servers will be up for the next few days, so don't miss out on high quality games! Ill be posting release details and my thoughts and plans for future updates and improvements later on...

Hi everyone! The second official Stress Test will be held between October 1st (6 PM GMT) until October 4th (6 PM GMT) (What is a stress test?) This is a time when Hosting is disabled and official servers are available - this means no more bad ping or hosts rage quitting. (What do I get?) You can earn coupons as you play and open loot crates to get cosmetics which you can sell on the steam market, so get on that sigma male grindset. The game has had many updates and improvements since last time, so if you got a bad impression you should check it out again. Also there's an actual tutorial now... Find players on our Discord and Wishlist the game if you haven't already

Hello everyone! This is a bit sudden, but I've started a little server stress test. The servers will be up for a few days - use matchmaking and play with your friends. Hopefully this stress test thing will be a monthly event. Find players on our Discord and Wishlist the game if you havent already
