Attention Survivors!
Where is Gondolo?
This update removes the Gondola map from the Normal mode rotation, replacing it with a new "Beach" map.
We've also reworked multiple game mechanics:
- Traitor Airdrops now drop on the completion of objectives
- The Dig Site objective now has its pieces carried like batteries.
On top of that we're adding a new Traitor item called "Global Mute", which temporarily mutes all communication.
Install the latest update (available on all platforms) to try out these new changes!
