Redmatch 2 News

[h2]Happy Holidays everyone![/h2]
[h3] If you haven't claimed your daily free cosmetic yet, make sure to do that in the main menu before December 26th.[/h3]

Update 1.30

A lot of the achievements had requirements which were almost impossible to get in Redmatch 2 today, like winning a match without getting hit. In this update I reworked some old achievements to make them possible, and added some new ones to earn. If you have any issues earning achievements please send a message to the #bug-reports channel on our Discord server!

Changes

• Reduced the required distance for the 1 in 7.5 Trillion achievement from 75 to 50
  
• Changed the Camper achievement from "Win a match without moving" to "Kill a player without moving for 10 seconds"
  
• Changed the Jack of All Trades achievement from "Get a kill with the sniper, rifle, and shotgun in one match" to "Get a kill with all weapons in one match"
  
• Changed the World Trip achievement from "Win on each map" to "Get a kill on each map"
  
• Changed the Untouchable achievement from "Win a match without getting hit" to "Get 5 kills without getting hit"
  
• Completing a time trial will now send a chat message to all players
  

Bugfixes

• You can no longer grapple around and have the Camper achievement still count
  
• Potentially fixed a long-standing issue where time trial ghosts would not appear (Players will need to get a new highscore on the time trail to update their ghost. I'm thinking about reworking time trial ghosts in the future)
  

New Achievements

• The Beginning: Reach level 10
  
• Dedication: Reach level 50
  
• Death Wish: Equip a death
  
• Never Dig Straight Down: Die to the void with the Pixel death equipped
  
• Shake it Up a Little: Use a Resource Pack
  
• Speed Demon: Get gold rank on all time trials
  
• Better than Rugbug: Get platinum rank on a time trial
  
• Take Me With You: Grapple onto another player
  
• It Takes Two To Tango: Get a kill while standing on a teammate's head
  
• Uppercut: Get 50 melee kills
  
• Fighting Blind: Get 50 noscopes
  
• Combined Effort: Win a match of Team Deathmatch
  
• The Real Me: Create a custom skin
  
• Sharpshooter: Hit 6 sniper shots in a row without dying

[h2]There are 5 unique cosmetics exclusive to this event![/h2]

They can only be optained during this event by opening the present in the main menu of the game. The present can be opened once every 24 hours, and gives you a random cosmetic. After the event ends, the only way to get these items will be on the Steam Marketplace.

The Ribbon, Rudolph Nose, and Christmas Lights get a random color. They also have a small chance to be shiny! The train has a small chance to be a speedy variant and travel super fast.
