    • Weapons, equipment, armor, and the portal gun can now be upgraded on the fly from your inventory when you have enough credits

  • Arena events

    • Every round, one of three possible arena events spawn (Firecracker, Hotzone, Splitball)

    • Win the event to earn a large amount of credits for your entire team

  • Updates from our original battle royale

    • Being revived after your death box has been looted now spawns you with your selected loadout instead of just your fists.

    • All players on your team now earn credits when you kill someone, meaning every kill helps your whole team progress rather than just you.

    • Chests, airdrops, and enemy death boxes now open automatically, and most items (aside from weapons and equipment) will now be picked up automatically.

    • Armor and portal gun upgrades no longer drop when you die - once you upgrade, there’s no fear you’ll go back down a level.

      • Teammates can still be revived if you find an opportunity.
