Gameplay Notes
Dead Rig Command Grid
The Command Grid is now fully interactable even when your Rigs are dead
- Upgrade your rigs via mouse click or hotkeys (ALT + Q, W, E)
- Hover over gear and software icons to see their information card (Hold down ALT to expand their details)
- Give your teammates information about your health/respawn time remaining by ALT + Left Mouse clicking on your pilot portrait and/or tab
Gear Changes
Hydraulic Pins
- Base HP lowered from 400 to 250
Momentum Shifter
- Base speed lowered from 4 to 3 m/s
Miscellaneous Notes
Custom Lobby now supports variable rigs per player
- This change replicates what players are able to seek for in the Quickmatch queue
- Only the Host of the lobby can adjust the amount of rigs the other players use
- Next to each name is a Dropmark icon that rotates when clicked. The number of red dots indicates how many rigs that player controls
- The size of the player slot will automatically adjust based on the number of rigs that player is controlling
Level cap restriction for Ranked Draft in Custom Lobbies is lifted
- 1v1 (3 Rig control per player) no longer requires level 10 but still requires owning 6 pilots
- 3v3 (1 Rig control per player) no longer requires level 5
Dead rigs will now have a “skull and crossbones” overlay on their pilot portrait in the Command Grid
The 4th “Ranked Squad” slot in the Builder is now a normal slot that can be selected and renamed
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue that prevented players from utilizing the Ranked Draft option in a 6 player (3v3) Custom Lobby game
- Fixed an issue that caused the uplink SFX, VFX, and HUD animations to continue if a rig was killed during the uploading process
- Fixed an issue that caused Shrapnel’s profile quote to be “null”
- Various localization fixes
Known Issues
- Locking Observer slots in Custom Matches only works when both slots are empty
- The Private Match setting only works when the game is already created, so someone can join in-between
- Hive Link does not have a cast ring around hives to show where the ability can be cast
- Global Chat does not reflect your changed name until you have restarted the game
- Due to the new leveling system, older replays will be using observer information that is out of date. A replay wipe will be in the near future, so we suggest video capturing any replays you would like to save
