Hello everyone, we’ve got a whole host of changes for our Early Access Update #2!

We really wanted to start tackling some quality of life suggestions that came from community feedback and were voted on by our partners. It’s important to us that while we’re working on new developments that we make the current state of the game better and we appreciate those of you who are supplying feedback.

A particularly exciting change coming is the ability to select the map for practice mode! Not only will this allow players to familiarize themselves with each map but also for guides and content to be made without having to do them in the middle of a game.

Several bugs were reported (thank you) but maybe the most important one being the discovery that certain damage reduction / amplifiers weren’t working as intended. That has been addressed as well!

For more details and other changes read below, have a great day!
