Hey friends,
No groundbreaking news today but before the weekend starts, we wanted to check in to recap some of cool stuff that's been going on this week and briefly address keyboard and mouse use on consoles.

THE HACKSMITH MAKES WATTSON’S INTERCEPTOR PYLON
We teamed up with the folks at Hacksmith to see if they could create a real life version of the Interceptor Pylon. It’s a fun watch and cool to see how they put it together. Watch the full video here.
RESPAWN ARTIST SHOWCASE
Personally, I really look forward to getting updates from the artists during development as it’s often the first time we start to see what a map, character, etc will actually look like or be I'll be surprised by some awesome thing they thought of. When new content comes out in the game, artists will often post the work they did and it’s a great way to see concepts of things in the live game and high res of skins or weapons they worked on.
Some artists have been updating their Art Station pages since Season 2 dropped and thought you guys would like to check them out. If you all enjoy this type of stuff we’ll share more work from artists in the studio in the future. This week, let’s give some love to some of our amazing concept artists.

MOUSE & KEYBOARD USE ON CONSOLES
Our stance on this? The short answer is: we don't condone it. We are investigating ways to detect if players are doing it that we're testing internally. That's all we have to say on it for now but we'll revisit this and talk about progress with detection and how we'll address players that are using it in the near future.
