This small update focuses on improving the player experience by adding player reporting, anti-cheat, popcorn, and tomatoes!
CITADEL
- Added interactable popcorn to the FaceOff arena that you can actually eat
- Added interactable tomatoes to the FaceOff arena that can be thrown and explode on impact
- Players will now start matchmaking to go to a Citadel from within the VOID. If it's taking too long or fails, there's an optional button to cancel matchmaking and go to the armory instead.
- In the Citadel, players can now matchmake for the regular game without needing to leave first.
MODERATION
- Added Denuvo Anti-Cheat for Steam - not to be confused with their DRM product. Additionally, we would like to mention that we did lots of testing on our side and can say that there is no performance difference between the unprotected and protected version of the game. Anti-cheat for Android is coming in a future update.
- Added player reporting
- Banned players will now see a message in-game showing the reason and length of the ban
GENERAL CHANGES
- Added weapon progression to post match rewards sequence - see how many headshots you got for each weapon and how many are left
- Level 50 players will now automatically skip the progression timeline during post match rewards
- Improved the SFX for mini-golf
- Players now will stand all of the way up when only slightly crouched and running at max speed (for example, when not aiming down sights and only 10% crouched).

- Added bHaptics events for ziplines and scan interrupted and lowered the intensity of scan started/interrupted haptics for everyone except the player that initiated it
