1.3.3 - Reinstate Release

Hey Folks! Today we are proud to present Ballistic's 10th map, the Reinstate Factory. This map was designed to explore the abilities of all classes. It is of a considerable size compared to others, which in turn rewards a more tactical pacing, but also offers various spots where closed range classes can benefit from.

We're also releasing several other features that were developed or improved:

Steam Achievements

Now Ballistic Overkill has dozens of achievements to pursue. Some of them are just easy and fun, and some were made only for pro-like players to conquer.

Password Protected Servers

You can now create your own password protected matches. This is great to organize parties with your friends without having to invite everybody over Steam invite.

Enemy Area

Staying on the "Enemy Area" now reveals you in the radar, with any class. This new feature will give a clear advantage to spawning players and help to prevent spawn camping.

Russian Language

Welcome russian friends, the game is available in your language now!

New servers in China

Our community in China is growing fast. The new servers will improve a lot the experience in many asian countries.

Multi-Thread Improvements

Some fundamental parts of code were reviewed to make a better use of multiple cores. We hope to see less frame drops, specially in maps such as Wonderdome. This optimization was only on the CPU side, if you are limited by the GPU, your performance should remain the same.
