January Update - Out Now!
Hey Everyone!
We’re seeing out the first month of the year with a new update for DUCKSIDE, which includes the implementation of the first iteration of one of our roadmap goals; weapon durability, alongside a bunch of balancing tweaks, QOL improvements and general optimization.
Check out the full update notes below!
What’s New:
[h3]Durability feature for melee weapons[/h3]
The “Durability” feature is introduced for melee weapons. We will continue to extend this feature and fine-tune the ‘durability’ levels, while also adding a repair option in the near future.
[h3]Explosive Charge Placements:[/h3]
Players can now throw small and large explosive charges onto walls from a distance, similar to the satchel charge mechanic in other games. This replaces the previous method of directly placing C4 on walls, adding a new layer of strategy and skill to breaching tactics.
[h3]Added a second exit to the submarine[/h3]
Previously, the submarine had only one exit, making it easy to camp. A second exit has been introduced to improve balance and reduce camping.
[h3]Improved NPC AI[/h3]
NPCs now attempt to take cover behind walls, crates, and other objects instead of standing still or running unpredictably.
[h3]Scope Sensitivity Options [/h3]
A new sensitivity setting has been added specifically for scoped weapons. Players can now fine-tune their mouse sensitivity separately for collimator sights and 4x scopes, allowing for more precise aiming customization.
[h3]In-Game Steam Ban Feature [/h3]
Administrators and Moderators can now issue Steam game bans directly from the in-game admin panel.
[h3]Enhanced Player Marker System[/h3]
- The team marker system has been overhauled to reduce confusion:
- Players can now place one group-visible marker using Ctrl + Left Mouse Button
- Each player can set up to 5 personal markers
- Team leaders have the ability to remove group markers placed by other team members
[h3]General improvements:[/h3]
Implemented some visual fixes and general optimization
