Season 2 is nearly here and will launch late in the morning on 11/6! We’re making some final bug fixes before we launch the new season content, including our new TEAM BATTLE ROYALE and new vehicle the JUGGERNAUT that we’ve talked about before!
We also have some additional new fixes for lingering bugs planned for the next couple days, that we just couldn’t get in on time but we’ll continue to address issues with performance and optimization as we drop this new update.
Don’t forget we have a new FREE WEEKEND as well to look forward to on the 8th-11th so be sure to invite your friends and any of your favorite streamers and content creators to give the game a try for free then! We’ll also be dropping a discount of 30% for anyone looking to purchase the game after the weekend ends.
