Paint Warfare News

The Paint Warfare Menu hasn't changed much since the game released into early access in 2019. It had a lot of issues—like for example it wasn't clear to new users how to equip/unlock different guns and abilities.

So I've spent a lot of time redesigning and organising everything better:



There's a lot more of course...

Another cool change is that when there is a new game modifier, a short description of it pops up for a few seconds to help new players.



Paint Warfare has rocket/grenade jumping (which is a really awesome mechanic) and I want this to be available to you no matter what your loadout is.

So that's why I've created a new "Explosives" weapon class so you can switch between one of 3 weapons you have equiped.

(NEW) Change Gun/Ability in Pause Menu

• 300 coins [$3.99 USD ---> $0.99 USD]
  
• 1000 coins [$4.99 USD ---> $2.99 USD]
  
• 2300 coins [$9.99 USD] ---> 2500 coins [$5.99 USD]
  
• 5500 coins (NEW) [$11.99 USD]
  

You can now do more with your coins....

• Reduced the price of Abilities from 150 coins to 100 coins to make them easier to unlock without paying
  

Capture the flag wasn't very fun on Koto from testing so I've decided to make it a team deathmatch map. Hopefully this makes the map more popular as I think its super well suited for vertical movement. :)

• Added bots option to custom games
  
• Fixed UI bug on AMD GPUs
  
• Reinvested a bunch of money into some new assets—added a completely new water shader and birds on Mafia Island. The castle map also now has some ice on it
  
• Added a new cursor
  
• Added new screen VFX for burning, frozen and healing
  
• Player names are now based on Steam username
  
• Fixed issues with the keybind menu breaking and hidden UI
  
• Added a trampoline on the top of one of the towers in the castle map
  
• Other bug fixes and improvements
  

Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the screen would keep tilting up when sprinting/getting kills
  
• Fixed various bugs on the new City Ruins map
  
• Buffed the black hole gun
  
• Nerfed the flare gun
  
• Improved the game chat filter to reduce false positives
  

Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where the coin sale and bundle were not purchasable
  
• Fixed a bug where the spoon was equippable in the ingame weapon selector
  

Hey all, this is a super massive update I put together over the past week as a thank you to you guys for sticking around through the lack of updates in my exam.

This update was released in two parts (but I'm writing this announcement now) so you may have already noticed some of the changes!

[h2]MAPS[/h2]
[h3]City Ruins Map[/h3]
Introducing a new Point Capture map!

Fight building to building on the most vertical map yet! Its based on the apocalyptic decaying ruins of a metropolis.

[h3]Map improvements[/h3]

Improved all of the existing maps with some new stunning vegetation, flowers and bushes :)

[h2]WEAPONS[/h2]
[h3]Flare Gun[/h3]

Introducing the flare gun, a very powerful secondary explosive gun

• It has a slightly smaller blast radius than the launcher, but sets enemies on fire and has a faster fire rate
  
• It's also useful for grenade jumping! Shoot at your feet to get launched up, or jump and shoot at a wall to get launched sideways.
  

[h3]Black Hole Gun[/h3]

• The black hole gun is also an explosive gun, but works pretty differently to the other explosives in the game
  
• Left click to fire a black hole, and right click after you've thrown it to freeze it wherever it is
  
• From there it will suck in and trap enemies. It can be escaped by running if you're not too close or grapple/dash
  
• After 5 seconds it explodes killing everyone in its radius, but be careful as it works on you too!
  
• Useful for protecting flags, bases or areas
  

[h3]Gun Reworks[/h3]
Banana Gun

• You can now right click to rapid fire the banana gun (it's a lot less accurate at long range though

Freeze Gun

• Fixed a bug that caused the recoil to go crazy and make it un usable

Burst

• No more camera shake/recoil on this gun either

Mine launcher

• Now deals 2X more damage
  

[h2]ABILITIES[/h2]
[h3]Voodoo Doll[/h3]

This is an always active ability. When you are damaged, your opponent takes 22% of the damage they deal to you, which lends you the advantage in every gun fight :)

[h3]Ammo Kit[/h3]

This ability works super similarly to the med-kit in that it's excellent in both free for all and team modes (and in fact you can equip both the med kit and ammo kit!).

• All allied players within its radius are granted a massive 1.5X fire rate and reload speed boost
  

[h2]NEW RANKING[/h2]
You'll now rank faster because only a small proportion of players get to the final ranks and experience everything the game has to offer.
There's now 20 ranks instead of 15 (with less XP per rank). - Your rank may change/increase this update based on the total amount of XP you have.

[h2]Other[/h2]

• New winter menu and music
  
• New directional walk animations
  
• Improved Russian, Spanish and Portuguese translations significantly
  

[h2]Bugs and polish[/h2]

• Strengthened the anti cheat measures
  
• Coop minigame renamed to co-op for clarity
  
• Added a tutorial for buying/equipping abilities
  
• Fixed a bug where every ability was unlocked in the respawning armoury
  
• The water gun/pressure washer stream now always faces forward
  
• Fixed a bug with the smoke/bubble grenade where throwing it at your feet midair would cause it to explode on your feet
  
• Fixed a bug with the costume (DLC) equipping in the armoury where it would get reset each time you loaded into the menu
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the fire and freeze gun effects to not be applied
  
• The maps shown in the map votes will now show up slightly more evenly
  

[h2]Holiday Coins Sale[/h2]
Finally...one last note

To celebrate the holiday season, until next update I've dropped the prices of all coins by 60%, which means (if you really wanted to) you could unlock every weapon skin in the game right now for $6.40 ;)


As always, enjoy the update & head on over to our discord server!
