This week’s build features one of our most community requested features to date! The ability to ‘Create a Party’ with a group of your friends has arrived with Build v.37. Players can now create a party with up to 7 of their Friends and enter the Matchmaking playlists as one group. Additionally we have added the ability to select teams by selecting ‘Team A’ or ‘Team B’ once players are in a matchmaking lobby. Please keep in mind that Team selection priority will favor Parties.

Major News We have released several new cosmetics items in celebration of various holidays around the world. The French Beret, Russian Tank Helmet, and the British Motorcycle helmet are now available in the Outfitter. Our next build will feature a number of new social features – one of which we covered on this week’s Developer Live Stream.
This week’s build features our first iteration of skill-based matchmaking! Players should note that matchmaking times will increase as a result of grouping players based on their skill-ranking. We will continue to optimize the matchmaking in order to make sure that games feel fair. Additionally, we’ve added an average wait time calculator to the matchmaker UI in order to better inform players of their expected play times. In celebration of the holiday season, we’ll also be offering the Pumpkin Heads to the Outfitter for the month of October.
Today's update includes changes to the new game mode available in the Private Playlist and the Fore! community taunt is now available in the Outfitter. To find out details on the new game mode head over to the official website!
This week’s build has rather significant changes to gameplay. We have added new animations for backward jumping, and made some major changes to the turret. Backwards movement while jumping is now identical in speed as forward movement while jumping. This means that players can maintain distance against opponents in pursuit. Please note the list of Turret changes below and keep these in mind both for using a turret in your loadouts, and for encountering enemy turrets in-game.
This week we're releasing cosmetic items while we continue to iterate on our upcoming major build.
Call to Action Please make sure to submit F7 reports after being disconnected from a lobby. This is specifically important during the Private Playlist matches.

Today’s new build includes new weapon parts, tuning changes and bug fixes. This is also the first time players will be able to play on the recently unveiled, textured version of Drill Cavern (link includes screenshots). Two new scopes will also be making their way into this build. One scope, the Bio Scanner shows the health of teammates and opponents. If you want to play the support role it can be coupled with a healing weapon or you can equip it on an offensive weapon to have a better understanding of what enemy player is the most vulnerable.
The Private Playlist now includes the ability for players to choose teams by selecting “Go Red” or “Go Blue.” Access to the playlist will be limited and granted on a player-by-player basis. Tuning changes for this build are heavily geared towards improving the viability of the Pulse Chassis and weapon parts that are less often utilized. We will continue to heavily monitor feedback on weapon and gameplay balance.
Major News Today’s build features the release of several new items in the Outfitter and a network fix to address some connectivity issues select players may have been experiencing. The build this week is a prelude to our upcoming major build, tentatively scheduled for release next week.
