Hey Folks!
First update of the 2025 calendar year! Running multiple content mods in lobbies will now be better than ever! Here's what's in the update:
Content Mods in lobbies
Previously, content mod dependencies could only be loaded in lobbies if the parent Map or Game mode called for them. Today, that changes with the ability to load content mods lobbies decoupled from maps or game modes. You can load up to 10 content mods at a time now and mix your own sets of weapon packs or gameplay modifications.
Plaza Central
All scheduled trains have been canceled due to violent outbreaks in this modernized plaza. The public square's German chief architect, Patrick Würm, is quite displeased to see his most renowned work used for a military skirmish. The building was not designed for this purpose.
Additional Cosmetics
The store is stocked with new cosmetics! We've added a Deathbloom collection and introduced an animated 8-bit pixel bundle. You'll also find standalone Rose, Alien, Comic-pop cosmetics, and a Foxtrot charm.
Minor Weapon Balance Update
Based on feedback from the community, we've made adjustments to the weapon balance to give more attention to weapons that are typically overlooked during the Search and Destroy purchase phase. Please see the patch notes below for more details.
