AGENTS UPDATES

  • New Agent Hush is now in game!
  • Abilities:
  • Displacement
  • Flashbulb
  • Flow
  • Suspension
  • Updated ability descriptions and tooltips
  • Passive descriptions have been added to more Agents across relevant areas, including Agent Select, the Agent Hub, and Ability Tooltips. This includes passives that were not previously described in-game or explicitly categorized, like Neon's Battery
  • The Ability Description Tooltip has been redesigned to improve readability at a glance by including baseline details such as Agent, role, and keybinds. Tooltips now appear during relevant moments, such as testing a new Agent in the Range
  • Updated Buffs
  • Snapshot refers to the still image silhouette reveal debuff (Cypher's Neural Theft/Spycam)
  • Brimstone
  • Clove
  • With the newly named Haste buff adding a timer bar to the UI, we've removed the previous timer bar to reduce unnecessary clutter
  • Miks
  • Neon
  • Waylay
  • Clove While auditing our buffs we spotted some inconsistencies with Clove and are standardizing them to some of the roster values and rules. Clove had a higher movement speed bonus value compared to similar movement speed bonus abilities and different kill rewards after casting Not Dead Yet.
  • Not Dead Yet
  • Jett

COMPETITIVE UPDATES

  • Performance Score
  • We've made some small quality of life improvements in the end-of-game pages to provide more info about Performance Score
  • A new "learn more" screen with more information about what Performance Score is
  • Map Rating
  • Your Act Best Match now has a bigger impact on your Map Rating each Act to better highlight consistency and peaks
  • Accolades
  • This will not impact your historic count of Accolades earned

STORE UPDATES

  • Korea only: Players can now purchase Radianite Points in-game.

WEAPONS UPDATES

We've been monitoring player feedback on how the Warden has been playing out in games. One thing we'd like to improve is the Warden's base versatility and handling to better fit its current 2900 pricing. We're adding these buffs to help make the gun feel more controllable and comfortable to learn.

  • Warden
  • Pitch recoil smoothed out for the first few bullets
  • Reduced spread on bullets follow up shots
  • 3rd bullet error reduced from .6 >>> .5
