Update11 released !

Hello fellow Guardians!

Update 11 is now live on Steam and App Lab!

**PVP REVAMP **

• Increased the max number of players in PvP games to 8 !

• New Supremacy Game mode (A.k.a Domination PvP)! In this game mode there are 4 warp gates to capture and two teams. The team that first captures all gates for 10s wins the match. If no team is able to capture the 4 gates when the game ends, the team that has more points wins. You get 1 point per captured gate every 10s.

• Bots! We added a first version of Player bots that can use player weapons, spawn units, capture gates, deploy the energy shield, etc. They are admittedly … not very smart atm, but they are already good enough to have fun with them while you wait for other players to join 😄

• Easy get-in/out of games: It is now possible to join a pvp game in progress. If the “allow bots” setting is enabled, the game will automatically add/remove bots to maintain the max number of players defined in that map.

• New Maps showcasing the new modes and improvements.

• Lost in the mist (8 players Supremacy/DM/TDM)

• Crashed (8 players Destroy the base/DM/TDM)

DRIVABLE VEHICLES

• New Drivable DropShip : Jump into the dropship and fly it !

• You can also transport your team into the cargo bay of the ship.

• Added the option to spawn a drivable mech and a drivable dropship right from the contextual menu in PvP games. No armory needed!

NEW STUFF AND IMPROVEMENTS

• New weapon! AK4 Submachine gun.

• Added a new option to use teleport as a locomotion system for people prone to motion sickness. Enabling it will disable the jetpack.

• Added ambidextrous charging handles to all weapons.

• The initial weapon AK5 has now the holographic sight by default.

• You can now change your loadout in the lobby! no need to go back to the main menu

• Added the ability to revive and heal other players! To do it just select the player you want to revive/heal and press the corresponding button like you would with any other unit.

• Push to talk now works by pressing the trigger with the secondary hand next to your mouth or ear.

• Added dynamic tips to the loading screen.

• Added a new Difficulty selector when pressing the “Play Again” button

MAP EDITOR IMPROVEMENTS
