IT'S TIME FOR THE FINAL BETA WEEKEND! (Build 868 is now live)

Hey everyone, who wants a Thursday surprise?

Our final BETA weekend is now OPEN FOR PLAY a day earlier than usual.

Get into the game - we've updated our known issues thread and listed a few changes below.

Balancing

'Doc' Eliza Dolally:

  • Miracle Cure (Active Ability) has been changed to now increase health over time. The amount of health it grants to Eliza and her nearby team-mates remains the same.
  • Miracle Cure (Active Ability) has had its standard radius increased as well as the radius it affects after being upgraded at Hero level 4.
  • Globe Gun (Primary Weapon) no longer causes critical hits.

Sergeant 'Sarge' Stone:

  • C4 (Special Block) now has a reduced timer before it detonates.

Anthony 'Tony' Turretto:

  • The standard and critical damage of his Rivet Gun (Primary Weapon) have both been slightly increased.

    Fixes and Improvements

    General

    • An issue which caused the game to become stuck on a loading screen when re-connecting to a match has now been fixed.
    • New videos have been added to each of the Heroes pages in the “Learn” section of the menu.

    Gameplay:

    • Improvements have been made to the way that weapons auto-reload. In particular this should prevent an issue where repeatedly clicking whilst reloading Eliza’s Globe Gun caused the reload to fail.

    Visual:

    • Improvements to the way that the names and health bars of devices (such as Lil’ Buddy turrets and Mortars) are displayed. This includes limiting the range at which these will displayed and better controlling the size of them.
    • Names and health bars of Cubes and Bases should no-longer be as large when viewed after being killed and waiting to respawn.
    • Firing Nigel’s revolver whilst part-way through an idle animation should no longer leave the revolver pointing backwards.

    Settings:

    • Improvements to the support for several different resolutions and the way text is displayed.
    • Further improvements to the support for non-English keyboards when assigning key bindings.

    Practice Grounds:

    • The Practice Grounds have undergone a wide variety of improvements including a new Arena with a new layout, some new voice over lines, and newly re-worked tips.
    • Collecting all of the Practice Tokens now provides the option to leave the Practice Grounds.
    • Completing or selecting to quit the Practice Grounds now correctly returns you to the menu.

    Audio:

    • New sounds for the Supply Drops have been added.

    As always, we'll see you in game - let's make the most of this one last BETA weekend!
