This update introduces the highly anticipated battle royale mode, complete with a dedicated leaderboard and ongoing development. Combat mechanics receive significant attention with improved attack area calculations, hitbox adjustments, and bug fixes for ranged attacks. Balance changes include hardcore mode for battle royale with equipment drops, revised penalty drops in PvP, and suicide prevention measures to discourage exploiters. Quality of life improvements address movement glitches, mobile connectivity issues, and fury stacking inconsistencies. Map creators gain access to an expanded tile set, while guild members face stricter safe map restrictions. A new visual warning for approaching map edges enhances navigation.
