10 charges, but we'll be continually evaluating that amount after release.

Does this mean we can only hold 4 weapons in large team modes?

In Large Team Modes you will start with the Glider Redeploy item in your inventory. This means that if you decide to keep it, you'll only have 4 remaining slots.

However, you can always choose to drop the Glider Redeploy item if you'd prefer to use that slot for any other items/weapons to use.

You get to decide which you'd prefer.

Hey all,

In the v7.20 update we're introducing Glider Redeploy in item form, read more about it here and let us know your thoughts below!

Yup this sucks - collision for this asset has been adjusted in 7.20. We caught it before the holidays but unfortunately not in time for 7.10.

Thanks for the feedback!

That's when I heard footsteps on the other side of the door at Retail Row. So naturally, I'm thinking to myself that imma open the door and give em the ol peek-a-boo. Planning to throw the Stink Bomb right inside that closet then close the door again.

 

Let me tell you, this player was having none of that. As soon as I opened the door, they got me for 95 damage right when I threw my stank at our feet.

 

I was the last thing I ever smelled.

Great suggestion! We'll investigate.

The animation got cancelled, the comment was made because of a miscommunication between the devs and the art team

It's not cancelled. We were just having a conversation about it a couple days ago, just got deprioritized for other things. We still really want this :-)

Completely forgot about this screenshot. This is definitely backwards. Frost would be getting me up after having finished off the entire other team ;).

Not intentional - I believe they snuck in via the Present item, so at most there will only be a couple in the world.

That game mode was like a breath of fresh air! Being able to have a good gun fight without relying heavily on building was so much fun. I'd love to see that LTM brought back!

I speak for all who have no desire to build! Bring it back! 😁

It's on for the next 20 hours or so!

Over the festive period they released an LTM called ground game where ammo and materials where limited. I think you were given 20/20/30 materials and like 200 ammo max (dependant on the weapon). I seen a lot of hate towards it however me and my friends really enjoyed it, and i genuinely think it should be a permanent mode.

The way in which the game is played is completely different, it seemed to rely more on game sense. It relied on using natural cover and good positioning to gain an advantage over your opponents, it was less about pushing every team you see and more about securing high ground in the next zone and defending it and being able to use trees and out buildings during your rotations for cover (planes were also very uncommon, i think maybe 2 or 3 spawned per game).It had a couple of disadvantages, explosive weapons like quad launchers were extremely overpowered.

Your probably thinking that i am just a bot that doesn't know how to build, however i am a goo...

Ground Game Duos is currently on!

Bring back Ground Game. It was my favorite ltm because every new player has got a chance to win. New players can't be stuck in a build fight and I feel like I'm in season 3 again. ( I know this is posted a lot of times but I wanted to say my opinion).

It's on today - give it a shot & let us know if you have any feedback!

Not for now. Possibly down the road.

Hey everyone,

Have you ever tried building a wall and it builds partially below, or is obstructed by, the ground?

In the v7.20 update we’re introducing a change that should help placement in these circumstances!

Before

This feature will kick in when you attempt to place a structure edit: wall that:

  • Requires a connection to a building piece
    • The connecting piece is at least 70% underground

Under those circumstances, the required connecting piece will now build automatically and for free. In addition, the connecting piece will inherit team ownership rules (and the material type) of the desired piece.

After

Please check out this feature when it’s rolled out and let us know what you think!

For the moment this will only affect walls. We'll update you if we expand this functionality to other structures.
