Terms of Service Reminders
- Editing local config files to change in-game appearance is against terms of service and bannable (uncapping FPS, limiting FPS, or changing font region are the only allowed changes)
- Macros used to provide in-game advantages are bannable
- Teaming is bannable. This includes not killing your friends in queue snipes while killing others. Play normal.
Dev note: We receive many reports from people that aren’t participating in the queues that send reports players are teaming (not killing others, while killing them). These frequent reports are the reason we had to make this decision. We have the intention of adding “customizable customs” in a future patch that may allow a lower minimum number of players and enable bots to give a place for these types of games.
New Game Mode: Realm Wars
Realm Wars (Team Deathmatch) has been added to the NEW MAP: Primal Island! This mode is a chaotic 10v10 deathmatch that lasts up to 15 minutes per round. Drop, loot, forge, then fight it out! Before and after: https://streamable.com/ig6woi
Tips to get you started:
- The team with the most kills at 15 minutes will win (the right side of the screen shows your team's kills in blue, and enemy teams kills in red)
- If a team is up by 40 kills or more after 5 minutes, then it will end early
- You will passively gain 20 shards every 5 seconds. Use these to forge between respawns and upgrade your loot.
- Forge times have been drastically reduced to 1 second.
- Armor is always forged at legendary levels.
- Events will randomly happen throughout the match, be ready for anything when you hear the foghorn!
- Forge fire sale!
- Rising Tides!
- Adrenaline Rush!
- Hard Dive!
- Loot fiesta!

Balance Changes
Neutral
