Six Operators are getting a price decrease with this season. Note: Bullet holes in thin materials like window glass, barricades, and the inner cores of props are not affected by this change. This prevents unfair gameplay scenarios and encourages players to use a variety of strategies to eliminate opponents. The line of sight through bullet holes in soft surfaces has been blocked. The new scoreboard displays the stages of each match and outcomes of each round as they occur, and Banned Operators are listed for Ranked and Unranked matches. The scoreboard has been redesigned to provide players with more game context during matches. This feature is being released on the Test Server so that TS players can try it out and the team can have additional time to finetune it. This means that 3-Armor Operators will have 125 HP, 2-Armor Operators will have 110 HP, and 1-Armor Operators will have 100 HP. Operator armor will be converted to health (HP) on the Test Server. This feature aims to reduce downtime when players are eliminated and offer more ways for players to support their team and have an impact on the round. Bulletproof Cameras (which now fire EMP bursts) can be used by Defenders after death. As well, Zero's ARGUS Cameras, Mozzie's drones, Echo's Yokai, and Maestro's Evil Eye can be used by those Operators after death. Attackers will be able to drive their own drones after death. To gather community feedback, the Y6S2 Test Server will have new gameplay after death.
This change was made to help players identify eliminated Operators and prevent unfair gameplay scenarios involving bodies. The icon will remain for the duration of the round, just as a body would. When a player is eliminated, a transparent Operator icon will appear in place of their body. This change was made to help keep players in the flow of action. In addition, the slow motion and opponent closeup that were previously part of the death replay have been removed. When a player dies they will now be able to skip over the first-person death animation. The rest of the map, including the overall structure of the main building, has been completely remade, so players will get to experience a virtually new location that retains the same theme as the original Favela.ĭeath Experience Death Changes The map's small size, irregular exterior, and verticality also remain. They were previously named 3F Main Stairs, 3F Back Stairs, and 3F Packaging and are now named 3F Red Stairs, 3F Trash Chute, and 3F Electrical. The two main entryways on Favela's roof have been preserved. The goal of this rework was to make gameplay on Favela map more balanced and competitive, while still retaining its element of fun. Attackers had plenty of entry points to breach, making it difficult for Defenders to guard their objectives. While the destructible exterior walls on Favela map have allowed for interesting strategies, they never provided players with perfectly balanced gameplay. All they have to do is approach the device, and the Kóna Station automatically boosts the Operator's HP or offers a revive.įavela was originally made to provide players with a brand new destruction experience and was never intended for competitive play. When deployed on the ground, the Kóna Station acts as a point of safety for injured and downed Operators. “With a remote-controlled function, this device counter-balances the usual unpredictability of explosives in a, dare I say, refreshing way.” - Elena "Mira" Álvarez Rainbow Director of R&D Elena “Mira” Álvarez Rainbow Director of R&D “Able to administer emergency aid unsupervised the Kóna Healing Station, like Thunderbird, is a friend to anyone on the field.” - Dr.
