Welcome back, Contestants! The latest Weekly Patch has been released to SOS. The changes this week start with much-needed additions to Duos Mode, and continue to minor bug fixes and some tuning.
Changes
- Duos Update: What use is a Duo partner if they aren’t there to watch your back from the very start of a match? We’ve updated Duos Mode so that Contestants spawn next to their partner and start teamed up with no need for a high five (though high fives are always appreciated).
- Hupia Sight (Custom Matches): Added a slider for Hupia sight to Custom Matches, so that players can adjust just how well those Hupia can spot you.
- Matchmaking Tuning: We made improvements to language-based matchmaking as well as increasing the impact of survival on matchmaking.
- Found Item - Turtle Shell
- New Gesture - Batter Up!
Bug Fixes
- Fixed issue with Small Hupia audio being heard regardless of location.
- Resolved bug caused by extracting with an activated grenade.
- Fixed invisible Relic exploit.
- Fixed Hupia rendering issue with arm and leg clothing.
- Resolved issue with Hupia hitboxes after Hupia are killed.
- Hupia pathing fixes for The Lure.
And that’s it for the SOS Weekly Patch for March 7. Tune in to The Flaregun this Friday at 2pm PST when we take a closer look at the Content Update 2.
