- Different loadouts and automatic loadout selection
It was a bit annoying having to change loadout every time people wanted to change game mode (i.e. all weapons -> Only Sword and vice versa). Now players have 3 different loadouts, so they can have their melee kit, their normal one and one extra just in case.
But there’s more: a normal and a melee kit are automatically provided to new players, so they’re already set to go. Furthermore, joining a OS match will automatically switch to an OS loadout (if available), whether entering a default one would go back to a loadout with at least one fire and one melee weapon. Handiness aside, this is super important for new players, as they won’t have to learn how loadouts work right away: the game will handle it for them as long as they need to.
A big thanks to our community manager fnetX for pointing out this UX issue
- Station2-OS: removed rails
Some people loved walking on rails to avoid as many opponents as they could. Pro players could fight them back but newbies were pretty clueless, making their life too hard on what it’s already the hardest map we feature. So… Rails gone!
- Profile: weapons ans skill are showcased in an orderly fashion
Weapons are now split between “Guns”, “Melee” and “Special”. Skills are either “Passive” or “Active”. All these categories are indicated with a label inside the profile
- Profile: fixed sentry gun HPs
It said that sentry guns had 20 HPs, but they’ve actually got 100
- Stun: play confirmation sound to the hitter when successfully stunning someone
who doesn’t love some good ol’ feedback?
- Stamina bar: flash red also the background to make the lack of required stamina clearer
MORE FEEDBACK (it wasn’t clear when players had no stamina left)
- Bugfix: H.E.A.L. didn’t give any points when healing people
Now it’s 1 point every 50 HP healed (like for the other weapons it’s 1 point every 50 damage dealt)
- Bugfix: healing someone that died right after gave you the kill/assist
📅 Coming next
- September 25: Skywars Duels/Triels tournament
