👜My (team)bag is yours.
Team bags are now customizable! In this update, discover 6 new team bags, along with a 7th team bag tied to the Easter Eggs event! Not everyone can be in charge of such responsibility. Therefore, the lobby host will be responsible for the team bag!
⌨Hotkeys items feature
Many players had requested the ability to have hotkeys for their items, and it's now a reality! You'll even have the option to rebind these hotkeys as you wish!
🔧Bug fixes and general improvements
We’ve also made a number of bug fixes and general improvements to enhance your overall experience. You can find the full list of changes in the detailed patchnote at the end of the news.
