Developer Comments
Thank you so much to everyone for playing, and supporting me on this project! There is still so much more to come.
This patch heavily focuses on new and updated content along with a lot of gameplay changes, just a reminder, these are changes in an early access game. Please provide feedback through socials, discord or the feedback website. Feedback Website
Regarding skins, it's not a top priority at the moment so you won't see much stuff being added to the store, if anything.
One of the main features we can't wait to put out is the changes to how players queue for matchmaking games. In the near future you'll be able to queue for multiple game modes at the same. We'll also fix the training range bug, along with being able to be in a Deathmatch (hopefully).
Reminder
If you encounter any cheaters or players using racist, homophobic, sexist or extreme vulgarity through the in-game chat system. Please create a #support-ticket in the discord channel. These players will be chat banned.
