Aug 8 2026 Update
Hey Squad Its been over a month since the last update and a LOT has changed. Full Patch notes below, massive changes, and lots more to come.
Discord event is happening right now, and every Friday 9 PM EST. As we move into mid august, the previously existing public discord invites have been temporarily suspended, while I figure out a way to moderate new members better. Too many spam bots were getting in via old invite links. That being said, anyone can still join by existing member invites all non spamming humans are welcome Current members can invite anyone they want directly but the in game link is currently disabled as all previously generated public invite codes.
