Subjects,
This update brings clearer interactions, smoother movement, more Daily Challenges, along with the Mid-Season Ranked Reset has arrived with rewards rolling out for last split’s top climbers. We’ve also updated Terror encounters, refreshed the Settings screen, and made a range of gameplay and map fixes.
FEATURED
MID-SEASON RANKED RESET
Ranked has been reset for the second half of the season, and rewards for the first half are being handed out. If you hit the heights before the reset, here’s what’s coming your way:
Reached Master:
Master Emblem
Fossil Snatch (Bear Trap)
Finished in the Top 25 on the Leaderboard:
Top 25 Emblem
Fossil Maker (Pistol)
Both the regular and Legacy game modes have their own versions of these rewards. Congratulations to everyone who earned them - and with the Master leaderboard freshly reset, the climb starts again now. Good luck out there!
CLEARER INTERACTIONS
Weak Points, Sabotages, and Escape Doors now use hold-to-activate interactions, with clearer prompts explaining what they do and which players can use them.
Weak Points now break as soon as the interaction completes, and you can move while channeling. To make rushing Weak Points more difficult, the channel time increases with the number of Weak Points already activated.
