Update 6.1 - Bug Fixes, some balance and the First Event in the World Tour!

Season 6 kicked off with a bang, and we’re keeping up the pace with our first update of the season packed with balance changes, bug fixes, and a bold new twist in World Tour.

First up, Update 6.1 delivers a boost to the ARN-220, nudging up its damage to help it hit harder in the heat of battle. While it’s not a final solution, it gives us a better read on its place in the meta. As for the CB-01 Repeater and the M134 Minigun, we’ve seen plenty of mixed opinions, but the data shows they’re landing squarely in the middle for now.

On top of that, we’ve tackled a series of bugs affecting outfits, weapons, and core gameplay, including one that could make your contestant invisible, and another that prevented players from shooting after respawning. There’s still work to do, and we’re tracking down any lingering issues.

World Tour Continues - Risk & Reward

But that’s not all. This week also marks the next World Tour stop: Risk & Reward. In this twist, eliminations no longer have fixed payouts, instead, your cash earned depends on your weapon of choice. Play it safe with an AKM or M11 and earn just $200 per elimination, or go big with a Spear or M26 and rake in a cool $1000. It’s a high-risk, high-reward showdown which is perfect for testing your nerve and shaking up your strategy.

Balance Changes

Weapons

ARN-220

Increased damage from 15 to 17

Dev Note: The ARN has not performed as well as we initially expected since its release so this change is a small nudge to make it more effective. We’re not 100% sure this solves its effectiveness, but it should help while we dig further into the performance data and figure out how else we might want to improve it

Dev Note: We’d also like to note that we’ve seen some mixed initial feedback on both the CB-01 and M134 Minigun, with feedback varying a lot from player to player. Right now, the performance data we have suggests both weapons are performing somewhat ‘in the middle of the pack’, and because of this we’re not going to rush out any changes to these weapons in 6.1. Instead, we’ll give them a little more time to settle into the meta and will then check again on how they’re performing once players have had more time to adapt to them.

Content and Bug Fixes

Characters & Customization

Fixed an issue when current outfits created prior to Season 6 could get duplicated when the game was updated to Version 6.0.

Dev Note: We still see that duplicates can appear after creating outfits inside the game, we have fixed one potential cause and will be on the look out for more.

Fixed an issue where certain combinations of cosmetics could render them invisible

Fixed an issue where the deletion of a created outfit could lead to unexpected results

Fixed an issue where billboards showing off contestants would not have the correct outfit if it was changed in the lobby prior to the round starting

Fixed the requirement for the Amethyst 'Cash Earned' player card badge as it was being handed out incorrectly.

Dev Note: This means that if you were part of the players who got the badge while it was bugged, you will no longer have it

Controller

Fixed an issue where you could not navigate away from the “feedback sent” screen with a controller

Game Play

Fixed an issue where contestants were not able to shoot after respawning

Dev Note: We believe that we have found and fixed one of the more common “can’t shoot bugs”. We are still hard at work fixing any remaining cases as we might not have caught them all just yet.

Fixed an issue where sights attached to a weapon would get a faulty texture if combined with certain skins

Fixed an issue where weapons could get offset in aim down sight, obscuring the screen

Maps

Practice Range

Updated practice range trophy with S5 leaderboards

Private Matches

Cleaned up Game Mode Information screen to only show relevant information
