Featured: New Contestant - First Aid
Meet Lucia Barbosa, call sign First Aid: Last Flag’s first dedicated healer. Where the rest of the cast is built to take ground, First Aid is built to keep your team standing. Her Viral Rifle will heal or damage depending on the target without you needing to think too hard about it. She can place down healing kits for her team or have Oswaldo watch over them and if all else fails there’s always dropping the Ultra Claymore in the middle of the action and letting it do the rest..
Kit
Viral Rifle (Base Weapon): Lucia delivers a dose of healing, or damage, depending on the target. Fire and forget and let the tech do the rest as it identifies friend from foe.
Slow Goop (Alt Fire): Lucia’s alt fire creates a puddle of sludge that slows down enemies moving through it.
Healing Kit (Ability): Deploy a Healing Kit to top up the team.
Healing Buddy (Ability): Use Oswaldo, your healing robot, on yourself or on an ally and watch as he heals any damage taken.
Ultra Claymore (Ultimate): When all else fails drop kick this device that rotates on itself rapidly showing the area with the same shots as Lucia’s Viral .
Get Up (Passive): Lucia resurrects allies 25% faster.
Cosmetic Rewards
Skins: First Aid launches with a full set of skins to unlock, including Hazmat and Sleepover looks.
Executes: Her own Executes, including the Hurricane Truck.
Player Icons: New First Aid player icons
Achievements: Unlock skins and executes by completing her achievements.
Featured: Persistent Lobbies
With Custom Game Rules, who wants to have to rebuild your lobby each time! Persistent Lobbies maintain the rules you’ve set up so your crew can keep playing without rebuilding the room each time. The lobby owner runs the show: set the rules, manage the leaderboard, and keep matches rolling on a loop. If you don’t like something just update the setup without needing to redo it all.
Highlights
Stick Around: A Persistent Lobby keeps going match after match instead of dissolving when a match ends.
Owner Controls: The owner can kick, ban, and unban players, including from outside an active match, and can transfer ownership to someone else.
Auto-Restart: Instead of a manual Start, Persistent Lobbies run on a countdown so the next match kicks off automatically.
Rules On The Fly: The owner can update the rules to apply on the next match start.
Lobby Browser: Browse Persistent Lobbies with descriptions and game-mode filters to find a room that fits how you want to play.
Lobby Leaderboards
Climb The Board: Persistent Lobbies now track a leaderboard so you can see who's leading across the room's matches.
Owner Reset: The lobby owner chooses how often a leaderboard resets..
New Map Copper Falls Variant X
The production team has taken Copper Falls and added a large number of structures, jump pads and power up locations to create Variant X, a map guaranteed to add more mayhem to the action.
