And finally, you should check out the IVADA Cataclysm Set, now available in the shop! The bundle comes with +2400 Multibucks!

We have a patch full of bug fixes as well as some changes to spawns in both Quick Cash and Cashout. Check out the content and balance changes here:

Balance Changes
Quick Cash

• Increased the max duration of respawn waves from 25s to 30s
• Increased the respawn wave timer increment for players who die just before a new wave spawns from 5s to 7s

Dev Note: The changes we made to Quick Cash spawning increased the pace of the mode. These two changes should slow the pace down a little, similar to what we had previously, while maintaining the benefits of spawn waves keeping teams together. We’ll monitor how these perform and continue to adjust as needed.

• Changed spawn behavior to prevent teams from spawning very close to enemy players

Cashout

• Changed spawn behavior to prevent teams from respawning very far away or far too close to objectives
• Changed spawn behavior to prevent teams from spawning very close to enemy players
