A new item category has been added to the game. Up to 5 different emotes can be equipped on the inventory.

By pressing D key, the radial menu will appear – move the mouse cursor over the emote you want to activate.

This is a very good way to show your feelings to your team – and taunt your enemies (why not?).

Dirt Devil’s special weapon had its visual effects updated, and now the sand word will rise from the depths to crush all enemies. The art team had been working on this for a while and we’re very happy to finally add it to the game on its best form.

The damage and other specifications of this weapon didn’t change.

Vulture

• Weapon 3 description is referring to the character as “him” and not “Vulture”.
• When using the Special Weapon while standing/passing over Rampage, the blade damage will be applied, but Rampage won’t receive the marks accordingly.
• Weapon 1 animation does not appear when using it for the first time in a round.
• Sometimes Vulture can get through Windrider’s weapon 2 effect.
• When Vulture is moving on its own axis, the engine sound is the same used when the machine is not moving at all.
• Using weapon 1 on a wall and using weapon 2 right after may cause – in rare occasions – the next blade used to stay on the ground in front of Vulture.
• Using weapon 2 to retrieve applied blades reset the mark timer even if the enemy is immune (i.e. Little Monster’s weapon 2 and Windrider’s special weapon).
• Using special weapon very close to barriers (such as Icebringer’s rear ice) will cause damage on that enemy.
• In some rare occasions, when there are two Vultures on the same match, enemies may respawn with blade marks. This is a visual bug.
• In some rare occasions, Vulture’s marks get stuck on enemies until the next hit they take.

Photon

• The emotes are not working when using it with Photon. This issue will be fixed on July 11th with a hotfix.
