WHAT’S NEW?

Retail Row
A Rift Zone has turned Mega Mall back into Retail Row, and prices have dropped significantly. These discounts come at the cost of increased danger — bargain-crazed Fiends are spawning in the Rift Zone, and they want the shopping center all to themselves.

World Run LTM
Dip, dodge, and duck through treacherous traps, lava pits, and more to become the world’s fastest lane runner. 16 players race to complete the course. The first team to collect 30 coins wins!

LIMITED TIME MODES

WEAPONS + ITEMS

• Unvaulted only in the Sword Fight Squads and Duos LTMs:
  • Infinity Blade
    • Reduced the environmental damage from 10000 to 600.
• Increased the number of resource stacks contained in Chests in Tilted Town from 1 to 3.
• B.R.U.T.E. updates:
  • Added a targeting laser that appears as players load and fire missiles.
    • In addition to the B.R.U.T.E.’s gunner, this laser is visible to opponents and teammates.
    • This is to help give clarity to all players on where a gunner is aiming their rockets before they’re fired.
  • Improved visual and audio feedback during the self-destruct sequence.
  • B.R.U.T.E.s can now be entered directly from glider mode.
  • Updated B.R.U.T.E. spawn logic for large team respawn game modes.
    • B.R.U.T.Es will now spawn intermittently throughout the match instead of waiting for Storm phases to end.
  • B.R.U.T.E.s abandoned in the Storm will self-destruct after 30 seconds.
  • B.R.U.T.E.s will reappear on the minimap after 15 seconds if no player is in either seat.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue in which opponents’ B.R.U.T.E.s would sometimes not be visible.

• The turn rate of B.R.U.T.E.’s turret is no longer framerate-dependent.

GAMEPLAY

• Retail Row
  • A Rift Zone has replaced the Mega Mall POI with Retail Row.
    • Retail Row now spawns hordes of Fiends who charge at players.
      • Fiends may drop a weapon, consumable, or ammo upon being eliminated.
      • Fiends cannot go outside the Retail Row Rift Zone.
• Chests and ammo containers will now open when destroyed.

Bug Fixes

• The Week 1 and Week 2 Hidden Battle Stars can now be collected.

EVENTS

• Pushed a fix on August 5 to address an Arena matchmaking issue causing players to be matched within a wider Hype range than intended.

    • Note: This refund option will be available for 30 days, with the timer starting after your next login.
