Hello agents and welcome to update 1803! With it, another gadget has been added to the Intruder arsenal. We're very excited to introduce the Bloon Cam, a flying, photo capable reconnaissance tool that will send your tactics soaring to a whole new level.
Bloon Cam
Equip and deploy the Bloon Cam in the same way you would use remote charges, sensors, or other throwables. To toggle on Bloon's camera view, simply right click while it's equipped. Bloon can move forward, backwards, strafe, and turn using the typical directional button (WASD) and the mouse. You can also fly Bloon up or down using the lean keys or using the jump or crouch keys.
Pressing fire/left-click while piloting will have Bloon snap of photo from its position and send that to all of your teammates. Like the binoculars photos, these will appear in the lower right HUD of all your teammates.
Besides being used as a recon tool, Bloon can also be used as an impromptu security camera. As a guard, leave Bloon by a briefcase room to check up on it from time to time.
Bloon has some other interesting capabilities that we hope you explore. We'll have a more detailed video of Bloon and what it can do during a future update! Until then, we wanted to get this awesome gadget in people's hands and see what new strategies emerge.
Bloon can be found on all official maps (except Oceanside at the time of publishing). A new version of Intruder Map Maker will also be released soon that allows you to use Bloon on your own custom maps.
New Unlocks
28 new unlocks, mostly comprised of weapon skins, have been added! We've also rejiggered some of the drop rates so you might get more stuff you want more often. These are subject to change in the future though, so get 'em while they're hot.
