Deceit 2 News

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Season 2: OUTBREAK begins today, bringing a new Season Pass, the Wager Mutation, Ranked Season 2, and a complete overhaul of the end-of-game experience. [/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]FEATURED[/h2][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]END OF GAME EXPERIENCE OVERHAUL 📊[/h2][p]We’ve given the end-of-game experience a major upgrade, making it easier than ever to understand what happened in a match and the impact you had in the ritual.[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p]The Timeline
A visual breakdown of key moments throughout the game. Revisit major events and see who did what, where, and when.[/p][p]The Scoreboard
A redesigned scoreboard that highlights your contributions to the ritual — perfect for tracking performance and flexing those big-impact games.[/p][p]Progression
The progression tab has been upgraded to give you a clearer view of your journey. See what you’ve unlocked, what you’re working toward, and how you stack up, all in one place.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]NEW MUTATION: WAGER 🧬[/h2][p]A new Mutation has entered the ritual.[/p][p][/p][p]We wanted to introduce mechanics that give the Infected additional strategic power, particularly in higher-level matches. Wager allows the Infected to mark players whose roles they correctly identify, creating new opportunities to punish players who reveal too much information during the game.[/p][p]Dev note: Boris[/p][p][/p][p]Be careful who you reveal your role to, they may Wager your soul.[/p][p]How Wager Works[/p]

• [p]The Infected player guesses a Subject’s role.[/p]
• [p]If the guess is correct, the chosen Subject becomes Marked.[/p]
• [p]A Marked Subject will be eliminated instantly if downed, similar to the Warden’s mark.[/p]
• [p]If the guess is incorrect, the Infected player who used Wager becomes Marked instead.
  [/p]

[p]Edge Cases[/p]

• [p]Soulbound Chosen players and Mimics can be guessed correctly using either of their possible roles.[/p]
  • [p]Example: If a Mimic has copied the Warden, the guess will count as correct if either the Mimic role or Warden role is chosen.[/p][p][/p]

[hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]NEW SEASONPASS: OUTBREAK (S2)[/h2][p]
