Patch Notes: Kill Feed, Balance, and Bug Fixing

Hey everyone! Thanks for playing last week, we saw what we'd hoped on the server side, so our optimisation is progressing well! This week we're adding in a Kill Feed to help players understand what's going on around the map from second to second. We're also rebalancing a number of the passives bringing them more in line with one and other, Doing some Trooper rebalancing, and fixing some bugs you all have pointed out over the past few weeks!

Watch our Discord for updates, as we're looking to expand on the work put out this week in the coming weeks!

The Kill Feed:

Whenever anyone is killed on the map a message will appear on the middle right of the screen. Now you are able to see who's killing who wherever you are! This should help you understand who's a high priority target without having to quickly hit the TAB button. We'd like to hear from you guys what else you'd like logged in this area and we'll see what we can do in the coming weeks to help refine this to our communities requests!
