| Small hotfix | 2026-02-16 | Small Hotfix Due to some miscommunication on my side the shotgun changes weren't included in the previous build. This patch actually includes the shotgun changes which were intended to be in the previous patch. If you missed them here's the changes from the previous patchnotes: Shotguns: Smoothed damage falloff. Previously the damage falloff was a very aggressive staircase resulting in the weapons losing 65% of their damage in a 2 meter span. Now the shotguns have a linear falloff which starts earlier than before but ends later. This is just a first pass on fixing what was left, We're open to feedback on this (shotgun feedback thread number 4 |
| Map update and Bot Mode Fix | 2026-02-07 | Maps:47 new maps made by Noon have been added with this update. If you encounter any issues please let us know in #map-issues in the official discord. 47 old maps have been rotated out to make room for these new maps.Weapons:BLK-TAR: Removed Weapon recoil but increased Camera recoil. This should make the weapon more intuitive for new players without making it better when used by an experienced playerShotguns: Smoothed damage falloff. Previously the damage falloff was a very aggressive staircase resulting in the weapons losing 65% of their damage in a 2 meter span. Now the shotguns have a linear falloff which starts earlier than before but end |

| Weekly Update 09/09/25 | 2025-09-08 | Hello gamers! This week we add 12 maps and take about 25 maps out of the pool. The maps that were taken out were maps that were released over the last few months (should be the oldest in rotation) We also fixed a couple of bugs, one being the toast backpatch not working on attack and the other being a SAB-R where your gameplay resolution would not correctly adjust when ADS'd on the SAB-R and would just use your default resolution. This has been fixed (You can now play in 9:16 SAB-R Resolution as I tested that) Anyways thanks again to everyone for playing the game and this is the final week for DPL draft tournament sign ups so get in there if |
| Weekly Update 08/28/25 | 2025-08-28 | Hello gamers! Firstly thank you to everyone that contributed to the Map Discussion I posted a couple of days ago, means a lot to get so much good feedback and conversation about the game. Secondly we took the feedback and this update will be a kind of "Test" for the 300 maps. We have decided to go for 100 maps, so we will have 100 maps joining the current map pool, this will bring it to about 180-200. We added 85 maps from 2022 and about 15 that I made over the last week or so. Enjoy and let us know if there are any issues, due to these maps being very old there are a lot of things that personally I don't like to use in current maps. This als |

| New Maps? (Map Survey) | 2025-08-23 | Hello gamers! Tetra here, couple of questions: 1. How are you feeling about the new maps? 2. We are currently looking at maybe bring back Apr 2022-Oct 2022 maps back into rotation which would be about 300 ish maps, this would just bump the map pool up with maps that people might not have seen before but in general would just increase the pool a good amount. The question comes from the size download, the 300 maps would result in about 35 gigs of download, is this someone that you would be happy with/would be fine due to the map amount? If anyone has any questions about map making then I'd be happy to answer them as well, I can turn this into a |

The 2v2 tournament sign ups are still open so come and join in signups This week we add 10 new 2v2 map ahead of our 2v2 tournament (which you can still sign up for here) Things we added: DAWN Puck Torch Changes Added Uyuxo Easter Egg Torch Changes The Torch has had its cutting speed increased on shutters, we felt that the shutters cut speed was just too slow and made a lot of slow downtime when a player was cutting for both the attacker and defender. The cutting time has gone from 10 seconds to 6 seconds. We hope this is just a nice QOL |

| Weekly Update 06/23/25 | 2025-06-23 | We have added 5 maps this week. Shotguns Shotguns have had a small buff. We felt that the shotguns were too inconsistent and so we have change the damage falloff graph to make the shotguns feel better at closer ranges. Before if you were to take a small step backwards the damage would change too much and so we have added a staircase falloff so damage will be more consistent. We have also changed the shorty falloff to more represent something that we feel is of the secondary weapon category. Rather than the shorty being a mini Tub-12 it has a harsher falloff to make it more inline with the other secondaries. With this change we have reverted t |
| Weekly Update 06/13/25 | 2025-06-13 | This week we have removed all maps that were released on the Futureman Update. This will hopefully make the newer maps show up more often. There are no maps this week as we have been working on the Shotgun nerf and Legros buff. Shotgun Nerf Shotguns have had their effective range reduced heavily, shotguns will no longer deal large amounts of damage when you are outside of a 2.5 tile range. This will mean that shotguns will have to show themselves in order to deal damage making them more clearable and more fair. This has affected all shotguns (Tub, Shorty, DL-20, Auto Shotgun). Shotguns have also had their damage modifiers tweaked, they are no |
