Time Takers - Steam Playtest #2 Patch Notes

On Steam

For the first time, this Playtest adds permanent rewards that you can receive at official launch to the Daily Check-In Event and the Paradise Pass. Curtis returns to the Traveler roster, and this update introduces the App System, reworks matchmaking, movement, and gameplay balance, and adds the Lab (Mission and Memory) outside of matches.

Please see below for the detailed changes.

Daily Check-In Event Rewards

Day 1: Profile customization items (1 each of Icon, Border, Sticker, and Nameplate)
Day 2: Flux Navy skin
Day 3: Alis Street Vintage: Ice Blue skin
Note: Check-in rewards reset daily at 23:00 UTC.

Rewards you earn will be granted at official launch and are yours to keep permanently.

You can still claim missed rewards by collecting a certain number of Chronostones.
If you miss rewards for two or more days, you can use Chronostones to purchase the missed rewards, starting with the earliest missed check-in.

Paradise Pass Rewards

A "Paradise Pass" exclusive to Steam Playtest #2 has been added.

Use Chronostones to earn a variety of rewards you can try out during the test period. The final Paradise Pass reward is the Cassie costume [Nebula White]. If you earn it during the test period, you’ll receive it at official launch and get to keep it permanently.

Returning Traveler: Curtis

Curtis returns to the Traveler roster on Day 2 of the test, November 13 at 23:00 UTC.

Curtis’s skills are Track Down, Survival Instinct, and Low Profile. For details on his skills and changes to other Travelers and weapons, see the Balance section at the end of these patch notes.

New Battlefield: Isla Veloz

Set in the Caribbean in 2311, the new battlefield Isla Veloz was once a luxury resort and the home of the Wing Racing X-League. When the Chronocrystal that powered the island went out of control, it wiped out all life on the island. Now saturated, the Chronocrystal continues to release Time Energy.

Matchmaking now prioritizes matching parties of the same size, including solo players.

Dash

The maximum number of Dash charges has been increased from 1 to 2.

A Dash cooldown gauge has been added to the reticle.

Slide

Sliding after a Dash now maintains your speed.
Falling while sliding no longer cancels your slide.
You now gain speed when moving downhill. A visual acceleration effect appears once you reach a certain speed.
Movement speed buffs now also apply to sliding speed.
Added a slide key setting (Hold/Toggle). (Default keys: PC: Ctrl / Xbox: LS / PS: L3)

Button labels may differ depending on the controller type and input mode.

App System

Alongside your choice of Traveler, weapon combination, and in-game Perks, the "App System" has been added as a new way to shape your build.
You can select up to 3 Apps, and each App has both a positive effect and a negative effect.
You can select and configure App Presets on the Traveler selection screen or in the Combination tab of the Loadout.
You can create up to 10 Presets per account.
