New Game Mode: Hide & Seek
With this update we're adding a new game mode, Hide and Seek. One player starts as a shark, and must hunt down the divers. When a diver is killed they join the shark side, and killing all divers secures a win for the sharks. But beware - diver players can defend themselves with their Bang Stick!
Hide and Seek is launching with five maps - including versions of Fractured and Galleon, as well as new maps Wreck and Station. We've also included a new community made Hide and Seek map from Gameo, called Mausoleum. You'll find Hide and Seek under the Private Match section of the Play menus.
New Map: Stash
Just off the coast of Cuba lies an abandoned and forgotten submarine base. With its roots tied to the cold war era and hints pointing to a nuclear involvement this relic is said to hold stashes of cached weapons that could bring a pretty price to the right buyers.
New S.T.E.V.E. Weapon Skin Pack

Alongside this update we're releasing the new S.T.E.V.E. Weapon Skin Pack, on sale for 20% off until July 12th, 2015! Fight with the style of the divers' robotic overlord S.T.E.V.E! The S.T.E.V.E. Weapon Skin pack adds new finishes for the SPP-1 Pistol, ADS Rifle, Sea Mine, and LJ-10 Volleyjet.
Note: Skins will not be available for use in-game until patch releases
