[b]Update 6.1 - Bug Fixes, some balance and the First Stop on the Season 6 Tour[/b]
Season 6 kicked off with a bang, and we’re keeping up the pace with our first update of the season packed with balance changes, bug fixes, and a bold new twist in World Tour. First up, [b]Update 6.1[/b] delivers a boost to the [b]ARN-220[/b], nudging up its damage to help it hit harder in the heat of battle. While it’s not a final solution, it gives us a better read on its place in the meta. As for the [b]CB-01 Repeater[/b] and the [b]M134 Minigun[/b], we’ve seen plenty of mixed opinions, but the data shows they’re landing squarely in the middle for now. On top of that, we’ve tackled a series of bugs affecting [b]outfits[/b], [b]weapons[/b], and [b]core gameplay[/b], including one that could make your contestant invisible, and another that prevented players from shooting after respawning. There’s still work to do, and we’re tracking down any lingering issues. But that’s not all. This week also marks the next [b]World Tour stop[/b]: [i]Risk & Reward[/i]. In this twist, [b]eliminations no longer have fixed payouts[/b], instead, your [b]cash earned depends on your weapon of choice[/b]. Play it safe with an [b]AKM or M11[/b] and earn just $200 per elimination, or go big with a [b]Spear or M26[/b] and rake in a cool $1000. It’s a high-risk, high-reward showdown which is perfect for testing your nerve and shaking up your strategy. [b]Featured Arenas[/b]:- Las Vegas Stadium
