Game update
HUGE “12 Weeks ‘Til Showdown" Update Released - Featuring New Outlaw: GORDO!
Secret Ponchos - Support The Developers Skin Bundle · published
UPDATE WEEK 1 (OF 12)
Behind the scenes the last few months, we've been working closely with a tiny Early Access community, taking apart Secret Ponchos and rebuilding the matchmaking, new user experience, and expanding the game with brand new content to support the gameplay we love. Now its time to get everyone into the game and expand our Early Access program!
UPDATES:
- 3v3 gameplay added - it’s the sweet spot and a real game changer
- Added new playable Outlaw "Gordo" - armed with a giant Gatling gun, and deadly Molotov infernos
- Smarter matchmaking & searching (created a lobby merging system to bring together players waiting in parallel lobbies)
- Mode Vote - redesigned to allow us to have as many modes as we want, without fragmenting player population
- Improved Practice Mode - now with an AI bot option
- User experience improvements: leaderboards, in-game chat, custom keybinding, adding Steam friends within game and more
