Greetings Test Subjects,

This week we’re bringing new Legendary base cosmetics for every innocent character that you can purchase with credits or win in the Loot Booth, as well as some new challenges, and some quality of life fixes.

[h2]New Cosmetics[/h2]
We have added a large number of new legendary base cosmetics for every innocent character in the game.

• Each new cosmetic below (Hair, Accessories, Clothes)
  
  • Alex: Short Beanie, Hacktivist Mask, Hacktivist
    
  • Chang: Spiked Mohawk, Cigarette, Casino
    
  • Lisa: Short Bob, Catena, Jumpsuit
    
  • Rachel: Updo, Bull Ring, Dungarees
    
  • Hans: Flick Up, Beard, Dapper
    
  • Nina: Cat Earphones, Plaster, Gamer Girl
    

[h2]New Challenges[/h2]
There are 9 new Normal Challenge series for each item you can collect in-game. These are unlocked by default (once you have access to the Challenges) and contain 5 challenges in each series.

These 9 challenge series are: Camera, Armour, Torch, Inspection Kit, Lethal Injection, Antidote, Tracker, Shotgun, Trap

Alongside this, we added 2 new unlockable emblems for completing every challenge. One is permanent once you hit 100% once, the other is only unlocked whilst you have 100% (meaning as new challenges come out you have to re-obtain it).

[h2]General Patch Notes[/h2]

• Significantly improved the doors leading to the next floor:
  
  • Teleporting between areas has been tweaked to be a smoother experience
    
  • Players will no longer spawn in the air when reaching the next floor
    
  • Doors, in general, will open faster and will be less likely to shut directly in your face
    
  • Players should no longer behave as if they’re still in the gas after teleporting
    
  • Fixed players falling out of the map when transitioning to the top floor of the Asylum
• The Labyrinth has had several improvements, including:
  
  • The rabbit will now hop when moving
    
  • The Labyrinth’s exit has been made clearer once it’s open
    
  • The Labyrinth now takes less time to load
    
  • You can now queue up rabbit movements by holding shift when clicking
    
  • Bug fix: You will inadvertently level up if you stand on the tile in front of the exit
    
  • Bug fix: You can’t move the Rabbit back to the center tile
    
• Added a new Item Upgrade: ‘Paparazzi Camera’. Item description: Using the camera will cause multiple flashes, dealing less damage per flash but more overall.
  
• A new ranked season has begun, and rewards have been distributed to ranked players for the November season. The new season will end on the 6th of January.
  
• Significantly reduced the download size of the game (will cause a larger than usual update this time)
  
• In-Game translations have been updated, thanks to our Community Translators.
  
• Bug fix: Daily challenges incorrectly contribute to your Challenge completion percentage
  
• Bug fix: Menu option for setting default item as pickup instead of upgrade doesn’t work
  

See you in-game!

[h3]Halloween Event[/h3]

The Halloween Event has now ended. All Event Tokens/Shards have been automatically converted to normal ones and any Halloween challenges in your Labyrinth have been converted to a Token Shard. Halloween Item Upgrades are still usable and collectable in your current Labyrinth, but will no longer appear in future Labyrinths.


[h3]Patch Notes[/h3]

• [New Item Upgrade] 'Compact' Trap: Increases the damage of the trap but reduces its trigger radius.
  
• [New Item Upgrade] 'Solar Powered' Torch: The torch regenerates battery when equipped in the light.
  
• [New Item Upgrade] 'Red Handed' Tracker: The tracker can be placed on Blood Bags and will automatically track anyone who drinks the bag.
  
• [New Item Upgrade] 'Nano Tech' Armour: Armour will regenerate if not fully destroyed.
  
• [New Item Upgrade] 'Sawnoff' Shotgun: Increases the damage of the shotgun but also the spread.
  
• Reduced the loading time for the Main Menu, especially for players using slower hardware (like a HDD).
  
• Traps now display their trigger radius around them during the day.
  
• Added a new setting value of "Based On Party Size" for the custom game option 'Infected Player Count'. This means it'll automatically only pick 1 Infected if there are only 4 or 5 players, but will still pick 2 if there are 6.
  
• Our in-game translations have been updated thanks to our Community Translators!
  
• [FIXED] Players opening the game for the first time will potentially have the wrong language automatically selected for them.
  
• [FIXED] The Steam Achievements 'Mine' and 'Work Hard, Play Hard' aren't obtainable.
  

See you in-game!

[h3]Patch Notes[/h3]

• This Halloween weekend, through to midday Monday GMT, you'll earn an extra 50% Tickets when playing.
  
• You can now preview your microphone and voice settings in the settings menu, by selecting the "Test Voice" option.
  
• Added support for plugging in microphones and output devices whilst the game is open.
  
• Reward Crates have had their interactions simplified, making disabling them no longer a separate interaction on the tamper box but instead a secondary interaction (defaulted to 'X') on the crate itself. You can still shoot the tamper box on the side of the crate to disable it if you prefer.
  
• The item displayed above Reward Crates now spins once the crate is in-progress.
  
• Our in-game translations have been updated thanks to our Community Translators.
  
• Fuse Dispensers and Fuse Boxes at night are now outlined through walls if you're close to them.
  
• [FIXED] Players crash if they use the Inspection Kit whilst wearing 'Ghostly' armour.
  
• [FIXED] Players can animation cancel placing a fuse in a fuse box at night.
  
• [FIXED] Challenges that require you to use the Inspection Kit, Tracker, Lethal Injection or Antidote as a specific character don't work.
  
• [FIXED] Changes to your Windows default microphone & voice output devices aren't detected without a game restart.
  
• [FIXED] Game settings aren't reset in the UI if you make changes & then close the settings window without applying them.
  
• [FIXED] The countdown timer for the Double Objective activating shows '0' for the final 5 seconds.
  

See you in-game!

[h3]Patch Notes[/h3]

• The 'Ghostly' Armour Item Upgrade will now also apply the Ghost effect to you, instead of only being visible to others.
  
• The 'Explosive' Lethal Injection Item Upgrade now has a fuse delay, leaving the dynamite in your victim's neck for a few seconds before it explodes.
  
• Interrogate now tells the first voter (the player who downed them) what team the eliminated player was on, rather than telling the last voter.
  
• If your Infected partner gets downed they will remain outlined as red to you, instead of turning yellow.
  
• Players that have just been voted out (mid-electrocution) will no longer influence how many votes are required to eliminate a player downed during this time.
  
• Our in-game translations have been updated thanks to our Community Translators!
  
• [FIXED] The server selection list can sometimes get stuck empty.
  
• [FIXED] The 'Vampire #4' challenge isn't completable.
