Radical Heights - Patch 2 — Radical Heights News

Buckle up those fanny packs, Contestants! It's time for a brand new Radical Heights update! We're bringing you more ways to customize, more optimizations and more ways to dance like you have never danced before today, May 3 at 12pm/ET.

Tell 'em what they've won, Roddy! Roddy...? Well it seems Roddy isn't here, so we'll try to do this in our best announcer voice.

Patch #2 includes things like...

NEW GADGET

Introducing the newest gadget from J.A.N.U.S., the Scanner. Deploy this to temporarily show the last location of enemies within a certain radius on your minimap.

MORE WAYS TO CUSTOMIZE

Dress to impress with new cosmetic items, including new hairstyles and dances! But wait there's more! Now you can turn your contestant to see just how rad you look from all angles. Wow, those stretchy zebra pants are stylin'! You'll also see that the customization process has been consolidated into one area. Now all you have to do is open your Prize Room to see all the items to customize your contestant and Kill card.

BIKE RAMPS

We're ramping up your bike tricks! New ramps made of a wood-like polymer that smells of pine and determination have been placed around the map so you can show off those rad, mad BMX skills.
