[2021] v18.30 Update - Now Live

Hey again, everyone!

Downtime for v18.30 has ended. You can find the update details in our blog post, but here’s a summary below!

• New War Effort Vote
  Boogie Bomb vs. Combat Shotgun! Choose which of these classics to help in the fight against the Cubes. The first to reach 100% Funded will be manufactured by the war effort.

• New Landmark: Mountain Base!
  That door at the mountain near Catty Corner has finally opened, uncovering an IO base! Visit the base now, but make sure you’re prepared to fend against Doctor Slone and her guards.

• Unlock The Cube Queen Outfit in the Battle Pass Starting Soon!
  The Cube Queen soon arises in the Chapter 2 Season 8 Battle Pass! Complete her Quests that go live at 9 AM ET to unlock her Outfit and many more items from the Long Live the Queen Set.

• In Case You Missed It: Stay with Squad
  Last week, “Stay with Squad” was rolled out to all remaining server regions!
  At the end of a match, select "Stay with Squad" with your "Fill" team to play another match together. This feature is enabled only for Duos, Trios, and Squads modes.

Also, for known issues addressed by v18.30, you can head over to our Trello board here.

Jump back in and continue to fight for the Island!
