Hello, Mercenaries,
This weekend's event will focus on alternative round duration. The objectives and game modes remain the same, but the rounds are one minute shorter.
With this event, we are testing how the timers influence the pace of the game, playstyle, and overall gameplay. This will allow us to better balance and improve our existing game modes and flows.
The "Quick and Dirty" Matchmaking Event starts on Friday 1st of October at 10 AM UTC and finishes on Monday 4th of October at 10 AM UTC.
This is an experiment and we would love to hear what you think about it, so once you've had the chance to play, share your feedback with us on Discord, Steam or social media.
How to Join the Matchmaking Event
On the lobby screen, press the "Select game mode" button to choose the type of matchmaking you want to play. Please note, if you are in a team, only the team leader can select the matchmaking mode.
This will bring up the option for you to choose the Matchmaking Event "Quick and Dirty".
Once you select the correct mode, you are ready to go and test the event, just press Start Shift.
Upcoming Matchmaking Events
Here are some of the other Mathcmaking Events you could try in the upcoming weekends.
Slow & Steady (8 Oct - 11 Oct)
With extra time added to each round, this game mode gives some breathing room for a more tactical approach or simply waiting out the enemy to walk into the crosshairs of a sniper scope.
Hot Minute Massacre (15 Oct - 18 Oct)
New flow set in a smaller part of Old New York.
