OVERVIEW


Subjects,

The Christmas Update has arrived! Bringing a limited-time holiday event, new festive rewards, and a round of quality-of-life improvements. 

We’ve also addressed several bugs affecting end-of-game flow, custom options, and Legacy mode to keep things running smoothly across the season.


FEATURED


The Christmas Event starts today!

The chaos takes a cheerier turn as our limited-time Christmas Event jingles in from December 11th to January 6th.

Here’s how it works:

Scavenge during the event to collect treats hidden around the maps.

Every reality phase, treats will spawn across the map for you to scoop up; each one grants 5–20 points.
A special treat, the Peppermint Mocha, appears in the second reality phase and is worth a massive 100 points.

🎁 Treat Values

  • Candy Cane: +10 Event Points

  • Christmas Gift: +20 Event Points

  • Stocking: +100 Event Points 

The more you collect, the sweeter and merrier the rewards.

Purchasable Recolours

  • Christmas Caribou Walkie Talkie

  • Peppermint Stick Hammer of Mending

  • Santa's Helper Decoy

  • Silver Bauble Ball and Chain


PATCH NOTES


QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES

  • Updated visuals for Ranked leaderboards to improve clarity and readability.

  • Removed End of Game from the main menu to streamline flow.

  • Improved cinematic visuals for the End of Game sequence.


FIXES

  • [Fixed] Resolved an issue where the game could end before the Innocent Mimic was able to reach the escape door.

  • [Fixed] Innocents now correctly receive a win if an Infected disconnects before they reach the exit.

  • [Fixed] Restored Nametags and Night Voice Chat custom options.

  • [Fixed] Corrected an issue where the winning team displayed incorrectly when you were the final player to be banished.

  • [Fixed] [Legacy] Resolved a respawn issue causing players to appear on the 2nd floor after being downed in gas at the bottom of the swimming pool.

  • [Fixed] [Legacy] A fuse spawn in the legacy Manor bathroom 2nd Floor that causes players to get stuck.


UNTIL NEXT TIME

That’s everything for our Christmas Update. Dive in, collect your treats, enjoy the festivities!

Happy holidays, Subjects.
