Update 1.4.1 Available for Public Testing!

Hello everyone!

Update 1.4.1 is now available on our test branch! A big feature was introduced and now you can compete with other players for the best positions on global leaderboards! Read full details below.




As some of you already know and participated in the past, this is our testing environment. We test updates here so we can fix bugs before sending them to the live version. Everyone can try it and if you're playing on the test branch you will level up and drop boxes normally while having access to new features and content! It’s simple to participate: right-click Ballistic Overkill on your Steam’s library > Properties > BETAS > add this code: beta141branch. Then a download will start and you’ll be ready to play once it’s finished! If anything goes wrong on the test branch, you can switch back to live version on BETAS tab again.

Please, make sure you read these test branch guidelines before you start playing it:

PS: Number of servers are limited on test branch. It will be easier to find a match through community servers tab instead of play now.




Leaderboards are now available to be tested and you can check them in-game through a new UI icon, just beside the inventory icon! Your performance within every match is now represented by skill points and tiers. You gain or lose skill points after completing a match according to your performance. At the end of every month and week you will receive rewards based on your skill points and tier! If you want to know exactly how these systems work, please check this thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/296300/discussions/1/1496741765142899649/




Even though you’ll see the UI for the new season while playing the test branch, it’s not here just yet! It will only be available when the update is live, so you'll still drop Second Wave boxes. However, enjoy the new season spoilers! :P
