DECEIT 2 - 2026.3.5 - Bug Fixes, Announcements & Chat Improvements

Deceit 2 · published 13 Aug 2026, 10:01 UTC · build 24696346

All news Players around this date Read on Steam

A new update is now live. This one is primarily a bug fix pass, clearing out a batch of issues you've reported - skin display problems, a pistol fire rate exploit, respawn placement on Circus, and a range of map exploits. Alongside the fixes, announcements have had a pass to make the game communicate more clearly: they're now printed in chat so nothing gets missed, the bottom text has been removed, and a new announcement interrupts the one before it rather than queueing behind information that's already out of date. In-game chat also sticks around at night, Silence Mutation and Muzzles now properly stop voice lines and chat messages, and every ability wheel behaves consistently.

We're keeping things tidy here because the team is deep in work on a much bigger update landing at the start of next season. We'll have more to share on that soon - keep an eye on our channels.

Patch Notes

IMPROVEMENTS

All announcements are now printed in chat, so anything you miss in the moment can be looked back through.

Announcements are now interrupted rather than queued, so the most recent information always reaches you first.

Fixed Terrors being unable to destroy Motion Sensors.
Fixed players respawning too close to each other on Circus.
Fixed the Ops Flare, Santa's Helper Decoy, Sorcerer Sky Walkie Talkie and Bloody Spike Ball & Chain skins showing incorrectly in-game.
Fixed the Phantom occasionally not clearing negative effects on becoming a Menace.
