Created by community members Arcanedart, Heiton, n_funkish, and TolgAagh, this indoor map combines secluded side-corridors with a central sparring ground, creating opportunities for close and long-range combat alike!

| Major update | Supporter Edition! Supporter Edition As many of you know, I've been working on Redmatch 2 as a solo developer for the past 6 years since its itch.io release in 2019. This game has sparked such an amazing community and taken off way more than I ever could have anticipated. Thank you all for playing! It's been my favorite project to work on, and I can't wait to implement all the ideas I have left for it. I've just… | — | |

| In-game event | Custom Skin Improvements Custom Skin Rewrite Custom Skins in Redmatch 2 have always existed in a weird limbo of requiring you to use third party image hosting sites to upload your skins. In this update, I've completely reworked how Custom Skins and Banners work on the backend , and now skins will all use custom Redmatch 2 image hosting servers. When you launch the game, any existing custom skins and banners will be aut… | — | |
| Game update | Update 1.40 Patch Notes 1.40.5 (August 15) · Added the Progress menu so you can see level-based unlocks in one place (the Level menu has been merged into it). · When a new cosmetic or item is unlocked, it now shows you what you unlocked when you level up. · Reduced the amount of votes custom maps need to be eligible for stats from 200 to 50. · Reduced the positive vote percentage required for custom maps to be elegibl… | — | |
| Major update | New Gun, Loadouts, Anti-Cheat Changes New Gun: SMG The SMG is a high firerate, medium damage weapon. It excels at mid-range fighting, but is less effective at long distances due to the spread increase with sustained firing (tap fire at long range for best accuracy!). You can equip it in the new loadouts menu at level 15 or higher. Base Stats · Pull out time: 0.4s · Firerate: 18.16/s · Reload time: 1s · Magazine size: 40 · Damage: 1… | — | |

The Unsecure match icon is now white, in order to better differentiate it… | — | |
| In-game event | Anti-Cheat Update! Custom Anti-Cheat I've heard your complaints loud and clear about the cheater problem, so I've been working closely with another developer for the past 5 months to bring a custom Anti-Cheat (Enforcer) to Redmatch 2. Please bear with us as we fix bugs and issues while we roll it out fully! This is the first time this Anti-Cheat has been used in a game, as it was created for Redmatch 2. If you en… | — | |
| Game update | Update 1.38 Patch Notes 1.38.3 (July 20) · Upgrade Cabinets in custom maps are no longer affected by the Custom Map Volume setting. · Changed the "Part of the X Bundle" button to say "View the X Bundle" to make its purpose more clear. · The description input in the report menu now clears after cancelling or submitting a report. · You can no longer report a player for the same reason twice. (For real this time) · Added… | — | |
| Major update | Voice Chat Update! Hello folks! I'm back with some big changes and a ton of bugfixes. Voice Chat I've always felt that the communication in Redmatch 2 has been a bit lacking, so I've worked the past few months on getting voice chat working in-game. The default mode is Global, and you can enable Proximity Chat in match settings (which is especially fun for Infection!). You can use either push-to-talk or open mic,… | — | |
| Game update | Update 1.37 Patch Notes 1.37.2 (February 25) · You can now sprint while reloading with the Rifle, Shotgun, and Sniper (the revolver always had sprinting while reloading) · Slightly decreased the speed at which the shotgun recoil returns to default, meaning sustained firing will have a higher accuracy penalty · Changed the way Mod and Dev tags appear in-game · Fixed a bug where you could not start sprinting during a re… | — | |

| In-game event | Connection Issues Fixed! Redmatch 2 uses Steam for networking. After the Steam maintenance on March 26, it appears something was changed on Steam's side which caused players to encounter issues when joining matches bigger than about 8 players. I've switched the entire networking backend out with a separate one and the issues seem to be resolved. Thank you all for your patience this past week! As always, you can report… | — | |

| In-game event | Quadrants Map Rework & Customizable Map Pools Quadrants Map Rework Hey, TastyBiscuitDev here. I'm the map designer behind Metro, Outskirts, Orbit, Xeo and of course, Quadrants. From some observations and the feedback we got from the survey we sent out a little while ago, its evident that Quadrants is definitely one of the least favored maps in the pool. Most commonly discussed was it's size and structure. My intentions - design wise - was… | — | |
| Game update | Update 1.33 Patch Notes 1.33.7 (June 4) · Introduced a level requirement (25) to start a vote ban. It's getting ridiculous with the amount of banning other players for no reason. I might increase or decrease this in the future. 1.33.6 (June 3) · Reworked the backend servers · Separated mutes and custom skin bans into two separate categories, meaning players who are muted can still use custom skins, and players who wer… | — | |
| In-game event | New Menu! UI Overhaul I haven't changed the main menu for Redmatch 2 since I first created it in 2019. The same black curtains scrolling... over and over... for years! What were they even supposed to be? As far as first impressions go, that main menu was terrible. I hope you all enjoy the new one as much as I do! Other major UI changes include: · Create Match · Lobby · Resource Packs · Statistics · Achie… | — | |

| In-game event | More Levels + Redesign Update 1.32 The level icons were in need of some love, and a lot of players who have made it past level 100 have had to use the same rainbow icon forever. I added new level icons up to level 400 and redesigned all of the old ones with a more sophisticated visual progression. As an example, here are the changes to the new level 100 icon set: Changes · Redesigned all the level icons, and added ic… | — |
