New Maps, Ranked Queue Update and Duesday Extension

Hello everyone! It's been a few months since we've had a content update for the game. The wait has indeed been long, but progress must be made.
First, we will start off with the patch notes that this new build brings;
Map Pool Update: 57 New Maps have been added to the map pool, along with a larger selection of old maps removed from the pool to give the newer maps a higher chance to show up during gameplay.
Ranked Queue Update: Ranked Queue will no longer show the profile picture of your team to help prevent dodging queue.
These maps should hopefully give returning players some fresh gameplay while we work on other new content updates for the game. There are also a handful of maintenance updates that aren't listed to hopefully improve the stability of Due Process.
To end off this announcement; Due to the massive success of the game sale, the length of Duesday will also be increased to last until the end of the sale to give more exposure at the revival of the game.

Small Hotfix
Due to some miscommunication on my side the shotgun changes weren't included in the previous build. This patch actually includes the shotgun changes which were intended to be in the previous patch.
If you missed them here's the changes from the previous patchnotes:
Shotguns: Smoothed damage falloff.
Previously the damage falloff was a very aggressive staircase resulting in the weapons losing 65% of their damage in a 2 meter span. Now the shotguns have a linear falloff which starts earlier than before but ends later.
This is just a first pass on fixing what was left, We're open to feedback on this (shotgun feedback thread number 437453543) and making further passes on them if needed.
I've also added passwords for playing 6 rounds on the same map. The passwords are 1MAP followed by the first letter of the tileset you want to play (ie 1MAPC for CStore).
If you experience any issues with them please let me know #bug-reports in the official discord.

47 old maps have been rotated out to make room for these new maps.
Weapons:
BLK-TAR: Removed Weapon recoil but increased Camera recoil.
This should make the weapon more intuitive for new players without making it better when used by an experienced player

Firstly Congrats to Goblin Gang who won the 2v2 tournament but thank you everyone else for playing and competing, it was a very close tournament with a lot of crazy moment!
Second, this will be a no map update and along with that our resident map maker (Tetra) will be out of office for the next two weeks so there will be no new maps for the next couple of weeks with hopes that he's comes back ready to push out 1 million maps day one back.
Fixes

Dawn Puck now can be keybound
Barb wire will now also have the bright yellow highlight on MAP view along with SAT view
Quite a small update but hope everyone has a good few weeks and we shall be back refreshed to push out some awesome changes when we are back!

This week we add 10 new 2v2 map ahead of our 2v2 tournament (which you can still sign up for here)
Things we added:

DAWN Puck
Torch Changes
Added Uyuxo Easter Egg
Torch Changes
The Torch has had its cutting speed increased on shutters, we felt that the shutters cut speed was just too slow and made a lot of slow downtime when a player was cutting for both the attacker and defender. The cutting time has gone from 10 seconds to 6 seconds. We hope this is just a nice QOL change that means the rounds feel a bit faster. To counter this change we have changed the torch fuel to 16 from 24 as if it kept it the same then players would be able to cut through shutters to enter and while that may be fun it would result in another charge in the hands of the attackers

Weekly Update
Added 7 new maps: 1 5v5, 6 2v2
As like last week, we are buffing shotguns once again. We are seeing that the nerfs we put on were quite extreme and left shotguns players feeling a bit bored and left out. So we have once again increased the effective range of shotguns to be more lenient as well as changed the dropoffs numbers, the drop offs should feel less punishing. As well as this we are changing the player body part multipliers.
Head will stay at .1.4x
All upper body parts apart from hands will be 1x
All lower body and hands will be .75x
This should make everything feel a bit better and make shotguns not deal strange damage based on where you shoot.
Other Changes

Added 2 more H (Alert Here) pucks for both teams
Removed puck cooldown as it felt not many spammed pucks and it just hindered planning

We have added 5 maps this week.
Shotguns
Shotguns have had a small buff. We felt that the shotguns were too inconsistent and so we have change the damage falloff graph to make the shotguns feel better at closer ranges. Before if you were to take a small step backwards the damage would change too much and so we have added a staircase falloff so damage will be more consistent.
We have also changed the shorty falloff to more represent something that we feel is of the secondary weapon category. Rather than the shorty being a mini Tub-12 it has a harsher falloff to make it more inline with the other secondaries. With this change we have reverted the change of the 2 shorty's and have readded the 4 shorty's in defender spawn.
Small Changes:

Added Coen to dome background
Fixed ARISE defender backpatch
Added Ranked Rewards in game (These will be handed out soontm)

This week we have removed all maps that were released on the Futureman Update. This will hopefully make the newer maps show up more often.
There are no maps this week as we have been working on the Shotgun nerf and Legros buff.
Shotgun Nerf
Shotguns have had their effective range reduced heavily, shotguns will no longer deal large amounts of damage when you are outside of a 2.5 tile range. This will mean that shotguns will have to show themselves in order to deal damage making them more clearable and more fair. This has affected all shotguns (Tub, Shorty, DL-20, Auto Shotgun).
Shotguns have also had their damage modifiers tweaked, they are now the following:
Head was 2 now 1.4
Torso was 1.5 now 1
Abdomen was 1.25 now .75
Upperarm was 1 now .75
Forearm was 1 now .75
Hand was 1 now .5
Thight was 1 now .75
Calf was 1 now .75
Foot was 1 now .5
This has reduced how much damage each pellet can do and so you must hit all pellets on the Tub to be able to kill someone with it. The strange 1.4 headshot multiplier is to make the gun have a skill shot where if you are able to hit all headshot pellets then the effective range will be increased slightly.
We have also removed two Shorty's from the defender rack and added two Gats to balance out the removal of the secondaries.
Legros Buff
The Legros has had a small RPM tweak from 240 RPM to 260 RPM, this makes the gun feel a lot nicer and would allow for more shots to be put down range.
Fixes/Changes

Removed Match Count from loading screens and in-game, it will still be visible on player profiles and in the top right of the main menu
Fixed Killhouse Stage hitboxes meaning that molotovs will now stay ontop of them and not fall through them resulting in almost invisible molotovs
Fixed DAWN map view issues
