Residential House & Hotel Trouble have received new additions and changes to further enhance PvP gameplay dynamics.
For Residential House, we’ve added several new vents that attackers can use to gather intel with their drones before entering. These vents can also be used to throw grenades to the other side, creating some intense moments. We’ve also added a spiral staircase entry to the 2nd floor from the backyard, along with a few smaller tweaks.
For Hotel Trouble, we’ve added two new scaffoldings that attackers can use to rappel and enter the 3rd and 4th floors, adding more dynamics to PvP. Additionally, we’ve made one of the elevators go down to the parking area as well.
Changing between rappel stances
You can now turn upside down while rappelling. Press the crouch button, "C" by default, to toggle between the two stances. You won’t be able to change stance too close to either edge of the rappel, whether moving up or down. When in the upside-down stance, you'll automatically switch back to the normal stance when reaching those edges. Please note, we are looking to further improve the upside down stance with later patches. You can also throw grenades through windows without them bouncing back due to the glass.
Improved Squad AI
Squad AI has received several improvements. You can now command your squad to "Move & Clear" by using the planning table. Right-click to set a marker, and using the yellow objective marker will command your squad to move and clear to that location. This update allows your squad AI to open doors on their own. We’ve also worked to fix several frustrating issues, like your squad pushing you or not stacking up and breaching in the correct spots. We aim to bring even more improvements in the future.
