Drop In - VR F2P News

Dropin will be having a map creation contest for anyone wanting a chance to have their creations make it into the game. We will also be doing a $50 prize for the winner if anyone thinks this sounds Interesting.
A #map-creation-contest channel has been created in our discord to show off your work. Please keep in mind the visual style of DropIn and while synty studios assets are not required they are here. https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/profile/Synty+Studios

While we know this isn’t official “mod support” anyone interested in creating maps or mods for DropIn will eventually need to learn the map creation process in ue4 so I’m hoping that this kind of gets the ball rolling for the community
The winner will also receive a project contributor role and will be displayed on a credits wall in the lobby.

Thanks,

Patch Notes:

-found an edge case on snipers that would cause them to continue rendering the scope even though the lens was faded or the gun was dropped causing cpu usage to stay high during this time. Tweaked the lens material and added other performance optimizations.
-found a rare condition where guns that were dropped may still be ticking. Fixed and Should reduce cpu usage on host as guns build up in the map (sandbox)
-added visual indicator for remote grip function due to feedback
-Modeled, created wobbly material, setup networking replication particles, throwing and storing mechanics for crashpad equipment.
