Yes, we plan to continue doing that and in places you feel we could be more clear with our goals behind changes - speak up!

Why are their 5 snipers in the game?

We're actively looking at this, the main reason being that each one provides a somewhat different role. But we agree it's probably a little higher than we'd like.

As we continue to look at balance, that's been brought up as a possible solution.

Surprisingly a solid fit, if i was a bit taller would have been perfect. Served me as a good raincoat later that week as well ;)

Would you guys ever consider adaptive chests that drop different loot depending on what items the player has already looted/seen from previous chests in that game? Or perhaps adaptive floor loot so that the floor loots in a single house won't be all of the same weapon/item type?

We considered this early on, but decided against it. The main downside being - if your opponent gets a powerful weapon because he hasn't had one recently, that's an unfair experience to you. But, we regularly revisit these kinds of questions to make sure our thinking is still up to date.

Any plans on removing the boom bow? I am pretty sure it promotes unhealthy agression and requires much less skill than snipers. I don't like dying to it, but it's ok if I die to snipers

Edit: also it isn't great for competitive POV

There are balance adjustments coming in the 9.20 update. We'll be continuing to evaluate after these changes as well.

We pushed a PC client patch to resolve hitching issues. We've seen a dramatic decrease in players experiencing hitches or freezing after the patch.

We're aware of this issue, and we're hoping to have it fixed in 9.20.

Thank you for letting us know.

Phew, at least it wasn’t intentional. Please understand that mobile is much different than any other platform. I really don’t like to say this but our platform has too much bugs and performance issues to keep up with other platforms in our lobbies. Keep that in mind.

As i mentioned, we will need ingame reports to gather logs and dig into the issue. If you do have this happen again please report it and let me know when so I can send the report over to the team to look at.

Perfectly timed.

You were SO close to landing with a splash.

Hey there,

Did you by chance find this loot from a Loot Carrier or did you find it from an eliminated player? Want to identify whether these weapons are dropping from Floor Loot or not. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the video, we're looking into this issue.

Mind letting me know your username and platform so we can dig more into what may have caused this?
