Hey everyone.
⁠
⁠Starting October 14, 2024, we are adjusting the price of Credits, Esports Tokens, and our real money content Pack offers in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and South America. The reason is to more closely align the pricing with regional pricing across other Epic products including Fortnite. Most of the affected regions in these continents will see a price decrease.
⁠
⁠We plan to make pricing adjustments around the world on a more regular basis, to better respond to factors like currency fluctuation and inflation. Check out the tables below for the new prices on October 14, 2024. (Note: prices on some storefronts might differ slightly from the prices indicated below.)

• We’ll post additional Patch Notes when Season 16 begins on 9/4/2024 at 8 a.m. PDT / 3 p.m. UTC

[h3]CHANGES AND UPDATES[/h3]
Demolition Camera Changes

• After a demolition, the camera now flies from where you were demolished to your respawn point.
  
• The camera shows your respawn position before your car respawns, giving you a chance to see what’s happening around you before rejoining the match.
  
  • During this window, you can move the camera around to view your surroundings.
• Demo Transition Time: Under Settings -> Camera, a new Demo Transition Time setting lets you adjust how fast the camera flies from where you were demolished to your respawn point.
  
  • Default setting is 0.75 seconds.
    
  • You can adjust this setting from 0.00 (a snap transition) to 1.00 seconds.
    
  • A shorter transition time places the camera on your respawn point for longer.
    
  • A longer transition time gives you a better view of the field before spawning in.
    
  • Adjusting the slider does not affect how long the demolished state lasts, only when the camera moves.

Demolition Audio

• Raised the volume of the “ping” noise when a teammate is demolished.
  
  • Learn more about the demolition audio change we made in v2.40 here.
  • Volume for this audio cue is still tied to the Gameplay slider under Settings -> Audio
