WEAPONS AND ITEMS
- Storm Inverter
- Launchable item that explodes on impact and creates a spherical area.
- Where the sphere overlaps with the storm, it creates a safe area.
- Where the sphere overlaps with a safe area, it creates a stormy area.
- The Storm Inverter does the same damage as the current storm.
- The area lasts 20 seconds until it dissipates.
- Available in Epic variant.
- It can be found in Floor Looting, Chests and Vending Machines.
- Falls in stacks of 1.
- Stack limit of 1.
- Straight to the Vault
- Hunting Rifle: all variants
- Although we valued the variety of options for long-range sniper weapons, the Hunting Rifle was being overtaken by the Infantry Rifle after switching to hitscan shots. In addition, there are a few Sniper Rifle options available and we think that, at the moment, it does not have a necessary role in item escalation.
- Withdrawal Transporter
- We reduced the availability of accurate packages from 12.5% to 8.45%.
- We reduced the availability of explosive packages from 12.5% to 7.04%.
- The chances of receiving more powerful rare items in Supply Drones were greater than appropriate, so we reduced availability slightly.
- Mounted Turret
- Now it takes 20% longer to overheat.
- The use of the Mounted Turret has decreased over time. Increasing the time until it overheats, we hope to encourage risk and reward.
- We increase the max. loading time of the Bombastic Arc from 1 to 1.25 s.
- The Bombastic Bow is a little more powerful than we would like. This adjustment should reduce the frequency between shots, increasing the risks when making a mistake. We will assess the impact of this change and if it does not have the desired effect, we will implement further adjustments.
- The audio, the pink ring and the rotating blades of the Tourbillon will be turned off when they are disabled during the fifth phase of the Storm.
- Players revived in the Reboot Van will lose invulnerability when firing or building.
- Air ducts will be more tolerant to prevent players from taking fall damage when jumping on them from high places.

- Mira's assistance can no longer be used to fire at players under the effect of a Shadow Bomb.
- Fixed an issue where players could damage damage to disconnected teammates.

- Fixed an issue where Driftboards were unable to get out of Whirlwinds.
- Exiting a vehicle that entered a Tourbillon no longer causes players to free fall.
- Vending machines are no longer useless if a player is eliminated when using them.
- The Repelling Pistol now consistently repels targets and the sniper at the correct distance.

ROTATION OF MODES FOR A LIMITED TIME:

Treasure chests contain weapons of Epic or better quality and sometimes even the Blade of Infinity! Battle with your opponents to decide who is worthy to wield the Blade ... and who is not.GAMEPLAY

- Fixed an issue where players were hanging in the air when they disconnected during the bus jump phase.
- Certain Fortbytes that require specific cosmetic items are now unlocked correctly for players with equipped items.
AUDIO
- We've updated gun reload sounds to mono instead of stereo. This will help with spatialization improvements in the sounds of switching weapons.
