NEW BARRELS

We’ve added new environmental hazards into the fray!

In addition to existing types, we are adding two more for even greater variety on the battlefield. Please, welcome new members of the barrels family!

Poison barrels emit a toxic gas that inflicts 150 damage per second to players within a 6-unit radius for a duration of 6 seconds.

Gravity barrels create a localized gravitational pull that disrupts player movement, causing 22 damage per second to those caught within a 8-unit radius for a duration of 5 seconds.

Poison and Gravity barrels are now always available and accessible in duels, enhancing the tactical elements of one-on-one battles. And as for the regular matchmaking, they will be available only from level 20 onwards.

UI CHANGES

Wishlist button in Inventory is now bigger and easier to press
Items’ quantity numbers are more visible now

OTHER CHANGES

The new animations in the main menu have been temporarily turned off. We need some time to improve them and add more
