In this patch we are finally introducing bots, and some exciting game format changes including respawning!
Bots
- Bots have been added to party matches allowing you to play solo or with friends in any of the party match types.
- Bots use the same characters as humans, and need to collect their weapons and powerups just like human players.
- Free for all games will be topped up with bots up to 5 players.
- Team matches will split human players across teams before filling any remaining slots with bots.
- Online matchmaking will continue to use only human players for the time being.
Game Format and Scoring Changes
- Rounds are now time limited (5 minutes).
- Points are awarded for damage, with bonuses for balloon pops and downing other players.
- Downed players will respawn with a full set of balloons but without any previously collected weapons. Previously, the round ended once there was a single player (or team) left with balloons and players would have to wait on the level floor for the match to end.
