Battle Royale

Weapons and Items

• Added the Proximity Grenade Launcher in Epic and Legendary rarities.
• Shield Potion
  • Increased the availability from Chest loot from 11.3% to 12.09%
• Small Shield Potion
  • Increased the availability from Chest loot from 16.95% to 18.13%
  • With items being added and removed, we’ve noticed that Shield Potions and Small Shields have been less available in Chests. So we’ve increased the chance to find Shields from Chests to compensate for that.
• Shotguns
  • Increased the overall chance to find from Floor loot from 8.50% to 9.77%
  • After seeing the community’s feedback about Shotgun availability, we’ve increased the Shotgun availability from Floor Loot to make finding them in the early phases of the game easier.
• Infantry Rifle Epic and Legendary variants
  • Increased the availability from Floor loot from .067% to .105%
  • Increased the availability from Chest loot from .414% to .645%
• Heavy Assault Rifle Common variant
  • Decreased the availability from Floor loot from 2.04% to 1.715%
  • Decreased the availability from Chest loot from 12.47% to 10.46%
• Mounted Turret
  • Decreased the availability from floor loot from .59% to .46%
• Storm Flip
  • Adjusted Storm Flip to cause flat damage instead of being based on which Storm Phase is currently active.
    • Causes 5 damage every second.
    • We noticed with scaling damage that players held onto their Storm Flip later into matches, creating undesirable effects. This change gives players more value in using it earlier in matches.
  • Reduced the availability from Chests from 3.39% to 1.69%
  • Reduced the availability from Floor loot from 3.32% to 1.66%
  • Added back into the Arena and Tournament playlists.

Map Changes

• The last house in Snobby Shores has been trashed.
• The "stone family" is moving again.

Traverse across the map, survive all of the Defend locations and take down the Final Boss to win!

• Mode Details
  • Four player Squad mode divided up into multiple stages.

  • Respawning is enabled until the last stage when players have to destroy a Boss Fiend and his horde of minions.
  • Keep an eye out for special loot chests, which contain powerful weapons & provide a scoring bonus.

Missions and Systems

New Wargames simulation: Quantum Countdown

• In this simulation, an unstable bomb is teleporting around your base. The Husks are drawn to its energy and trying to destroy it. Quickly adapt to protect its new location as the Husks take new, and unexpected, routes.
