[2021] v17.40 Update - Now Live

Greetings, Agents (or Impostors).

Downtime for v17.40 has ended, and the new Impostors mode is live! Learn about Impostors, the Sneak Week Wild Week, the Burst Assault Rifle, and bug fixes in ourv17.40 blog post. Wait… what’s happening to Coral Castle?

Here’s a summary of what’s new:

• Impostors: New Mode Live Now! - Ensure the safety and security of The Bridge — the IO’s top-secret facility — as an IO Agent... or sabotage the IO from within as a hidden Impostor. In addition to our v17.40 blog post, we have a blog post all about Impostors. Check it out for full intel.
• Wild Weeks Return with Sneak Week - The first Wild Week of Chapter 2 Season 7 begins this Thursday! It seems the IO and Aliens are trying to outstealth each other, resulting in a shake-up on the Island. The IO is replacing certain weapons with suppressed versions, and the Aliens are increasing production of the Prop-ifier. Adopt a strategy of stealth!
• New Pulse Rifle Variant: The Burst Pulse Rifle - It would appear the Aliens are taking IO technology and adding their own tweaks. Kymera is now selling the “Burst Pulse Rifle,” a Pulse Rifle variant that fires two-round bursts when aiming down sights and has a bigger clip size.
• Coral Castle’s Ascent - First it was Slurpy Swamp and now the Mothership has its sights on Coral Castle. Just like with Slurpy Swamp, take advantage of this situation for some low-gravity, platform-to-platform action.

For known issues addressed by v17.40, players can head over to our Trello board here.

Thank you. ⛏
