This week we have removed all maps that were released on the Futureman Update. This will hopefully make the newer maps show up more often.

There are no maps this week as we have been working on the Shotgun nerf and Legros buff.

Shotguns have had their effective range reduced heavily, shotguns will no longer deal large amounts of damage when you are outside of a 2.5 tile range. This will mean that shotguns will have to show themselves in order to deal damage making them more clearable and more fair. This has affected all shotguns (Tub, Shorty, DL-20, Auto Shotgun).

Shotguns have also had their damage modifiers tweaked, they are now the following:

Head was 2 now 1.4
Torso was 1.5 now 1
Abdomen was 1.25 now .75
Upperarm was 1 now .75
Forearm was 1 now .75
Hand was 1 now .5
Thight was 1 now .75
Calf was 1 now .75
Foot was 1 now .5

This has reduced how much damage each pellet can do and so you must hit all pellets on the Tub to be able to kill someone with it. The strange 1.4 headshot multiplier is to make the gun have a skill shot where if you are able to hit all headshot pellets then the effective range will be increased slightly.

We have also removed two Shorty's from the defender rack and added two Gats to balance out the removal of the secondaries.


The Legros has had a small RPM tweak from 240 RPM to 260 RPM, this makes the gun feel a lot nicer and would allow for more shots to be put down range.

• Removed Match Count from loading screens and in-game, it will still be visible on player profiles and in the top right of the main menu
  
• Fixed Killhouse Stage hitboxes meaning that molotovs will now stay ontop of them and not fall through them resulting in almost invisible molotovs
  
• Fixed DAWN map view issues

Hello everyone with this seasons DPL just a week away we will be announcing the format!


This format will be a 7 week swiss tournament with the top 8 teams going into a playoff bracket in the final week.


Every week you will play 2 BO2 matches against 2 different teams, those teams will be decided via the swiss formatting system

A BO2 will be played on Saturday and a BO2 will be played on Sunday

There will be a 12 hour window for games to be held (Noon BST - Midnight BST) with priority being on the streamable game window which is 2pm ET to 5pm ET. If you can play your BO2 within that gap that takes priority but the extra hours of queue time is to allow teams with variying timezones to play at a time that suits them

Weekly matchups will be given out the wednesday before the weekend of play

You will win 2 points per series win, 1 point for a tie series and 0 points for a loss

If a bye is needed the team will automatically win the series and will recieve 2 points


There will be rosters locks from weeks 1-4 and 5-8 and rosters are being increased to 8 (5 main roster 3 subs)

The match ups for this coming week will be created on Wednesday

This weeks update will be 2 weeks worth of updates in one as we had some technical issues with last weeks update.

We added 11 maps to the map pool this week and have not removed any. Next week we will be doing a large culling of maps and will remove all the 100+ maps that were initially added in the futureman update
