Overview

Hey, it’s Ashley! Hope everyone has been enjoying their summer and spending some time outside. It’s the season of sport so if you’re watching the World Cup, who are you rooting for?

  • Iso buff to weapon equip speed after unequipping Double Tap
  • Yoru buff with an increase in duration of Gatecrash
  • Outlaw adjustment to allow for more expression and control
  • We can better detect rank manipulation and will begin issuing penalties for confirmed users. If you know you do this, count your days.
  • Loads of bug fixes

PLAYER BEHAVIOR UPDATES

  • Rank Manipulation Penalties
  • Penalties may include account suspensions, rank reversions, and ranked reward reversions.
  • As part of this, players will begin to receive reporter and bystander feedback in game when a player in their matches is penalized for rank manipulation.
  • Our goal is to protect ranked integrity and make sure competitive progress reflects fair play. For more detail on what counts as rank manipulation and how we’re approaching enforcement, check out this Play Fair article.

WEAPONS UPDATES

Outlaw has been performing strongly and we still want it to feel powerful with its back-to-back shots, but allow for some expression and some control to warrant that power.

  • Spread from 0 >>> 2.25 after first shot
  • Recoil from 0 >>> 4.0 after first shot
