Description
Hey everyone! We just added a lot of content for Wednesday's mid-week patch, but we've got a bit more to add for this week... We're adding Super Squad friends - a way to add people in game with your unique code, a more complete gamemode voting system, some minor balance changes,
Watch our Discord throughout the weekend to take advantage of our LFG role, and keep the notifications on as we'll be running giveaways!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gamemode Voting:
While we have had the ability to vote for each gamemode since we introduced Domination, not a lot of people noticed it on the left-hand side of the screen. We're formalising the vote, giving players an extra 20 seconds at the start of squad select to vote for the gamemode of their choosing. If it's a tie, then the player who is randomly chosen to select the map, will also select the gamemode!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super Squad Friends:
Now players are able to send each other their unique friend code, located at the top right of the image, to easily add each other as SUPER SQUAD FRIENDS! it's quick and easy to do, and you will only show up as online if you're actually playing the game. If you've already added each other as friends on steam, that will overwrite a Super Squad friend.

Balance Changes
Minor Gun Damage Rebalancing:
All Troopers have had their damage reduced by 1 - while this doesn't affect most Troopers significantly, some are given a more pronounced advantage due to a rounding error we are having on gun damage. As soon as we've tracked that down and fixed it, we'll be bumping everyone back up!
Trooper Balance Changes:
Skull Crusher
Anchors Away
- Cooldown nerfed from 8 to 10 seconds
Reserves:
- Duration buffed from 5 seconds to 6
Tharlin:
Minor Inconvenience
- Damage nerfed from 115 to 110
Fang:
Fetch:
- Cooldown buffed from 12 to 11 seconds
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Issues:
- Sometimes your dodges will get stuck when going in and out of vanity cam,
- Sometimes Troopers can be stuck off of the map in Asteroid colony, this seems to be linked to being knocked off while using a channeled ability (Suppressive Fire and Double O's).
- Your keys may be set randomly in the options menu while changing settings.
- Sometimes the escape key won't work when in various menus, right click on the game to refocus the window, and ESC should work.
- Keys at Launch and Rockets diffused are not tallying correctly at the end of the Strike Match score screen.
- Sometimes key UI icons in Strike stay on the minimap after being collected
- If you are stunned out of Double O'd or Suppressive fire you might not be able to use dodges. Using the ability again and your Trooper dying will fix the issue. We know what this is, but not quite made it into this patch.
- Some players may not be given a vote on the gamemode vote, we're looking into this.
- Sometimes in squad select some players are given a wider aspect ratio than intended.
