Hello everyone! I'm back for another update, today's post will be about everything I found interesting that was added in the 1.06 patch. Enjoy!

​

Let's start of with cosmetics.

The Cosmos set was added to the game. This set includes a Sheriff, Ares, Guardian, Phantom, and a Knife. These weapons are not upgradeable.

Weapon Side Renders

Background all of the guns use as a base texture.

Here is a video showcasing all of the weapons in the Lobby.

​

Next up, we have some strings.

The upcoming game feature, called "Remake", allows players to cancel a match if a person goes AFK at the beginning of the game. This feature is not available for 5-man stacks.

Updated Remake Strings

​

There are some new privacy settings that have been added!

"Privacy_AnonymizeSelf": "Hide My Name from Players Outside My Party" "Privacy_AnonymizeMatchmadePlayers": "Use Generic Names for Players Outside My Party"

These will be a great first step to stopping stream snipers. These features may or may not be live in game.

​

You can also auto-decline friend requests now.

"FriendRequestAutoRejectTooltip": "The setting \"Auto-Reject Friend Requests\" is set to On. Incoming friend requests will not be shown. You may still send friend requests."

​

Like league, you may be able to transfer your account to another region soon.

"FatalNotification_TransferInProgress": "Your session has ended due to account transfer in progress."

Next up, game-mode news! A new game-mode is currently in development, it's currently called Alt5.

Devs are currently testing orbs, smokes, a bunch of particle effects, such as Raze's rocket. It looks like a mini-map is in development as well. They also seem to be testing the new game-mode on Haven.

I have no idea what this game-mode could be about, it's definitely unfinished and possible even a red herring.

Haven (Triad) Alt5 support.

​

Lastly, map news!

Based on some added props, the A site on Bind could be getting an update soon. A bunch of new props added for it were named "Truck Building". Not sure if this update is live in-game yet.
