WELCOME TO V16.
THE DEATH SYSTEM
The player can now die by explosives, weapons, or by shooting yourself. Once you get hurt, a red vignette will start to form. This will get closer and closer as your health depletes. If you do not take damage within the next 15 seconds after getting hurt, you will slowly start to regain your health. But once you reach 0, you are dead. Your body will fall near you, and your vision becomes black and white, and you must respawn by clicking respawn on the death menu in front of you. Should be easy, right?
SPRINT & STAMINA SYSTEM
You can sprint for up to 6 seconds and must rest to rebuild your Stamina Bar. You can also run no matter what the stamina bar is at, unless it has depleted.
IMPROVED CLIMBING
Instead of just falling when trying to throw yourself up, now you gain velocity and can throw yourself in any direction. Be careful! You're not as powerful as you think you are, and can fail to throw yourself far.
NEW HAND POSE
By holding the Trigger and Grip and placing your finger on the top button of your controller, you can hold up the middle finger!
NEW GLOVES
We have followed our plan to replace the old player's hands with the new gloves!
RACE TRACK REENABLED IN EMPTY TESTING SITE
We have fixed a major bug with the car that made it unable to go past 16 MPH, so now it's ready for the track!
GOODBYE ONLINE. FOR NOW
Online has been put to rest. If you liked online, don't worry! Online will be coming back sometime in 2027
right before 1.0.
This new version of Online will be so much better, including new modes, the spawn gun, lobby hosting, and much more!
Seems like we have reached the end of the major things, now time for the
