Deceit News

Hello Test Subjects!

After many years the Game Master has finally gotten round to developing a new virus, particularly targeting those of you with arachnophobia. His latest virus is concentrated with the venom of a spider he found in the Lumberyard. When mixed with a few other special ingredients it results in a half-human half-spider monster, with a powerful web-spinning ability.

Grab the Spider Pack today from Steam! Purchasers in the first week of it’s release will receive a 10% discount!

[h2]Spider Pack[/h2]
The Spider Pack contains the following:

• Playable Spider Terror Character
• Newspaper (melee)
  
• Cobweb T-shirt (all characters)
  
• Spider Emblem
• 10 Normal Tokens
• 200 Credits

A bit about the Spider Terror’s kit:

• Ability: Webshot
  • Shoot out a web from your mouth and depending on what it connects with the outcome changes. Hit a structure and after a short delay you will pull yourself towards it. Alternatively, connect with a player and after a short delay you will pull them in towards you. Depending on the situation you will want to use each of these to your advantage.
• Execution: Cocoon
  • When you have earned an execution you can grab an Innocent player, pick them up, spin them round as you wrap them in your web, and leave them to suffocate.

The Spider is released with 6 cosmetic skins:

• Spider - the default skin you get when purchasing the DLC
  
• Black Widow - a jet black skin
  
• Marvelous - a red and black skin
  
• Easter Pattern - a cream skin with Easter egg and carrot pattern all over it - available only during the Easter Event
  
• Rainbow - a shiny pearlescent skin - see Early Bird Bonus below
  
• Peacock - a turquoise skin with orange spots and fur spikes

Early Bird Bonus: purchase the Spider DLC before midday BST on April 29th to receive the exclusive Legendary skin ‘Rainbow’ for your Spider Terror. This skin will never be available again after this promotion.

• Infected chat has been re-added to both matchmade and ranked games, as well as an option in custom games to enable infected chat during just the night, or also during the day.
  
• The default keybind to vote using the “Remote Voting” custom game option has been moved to ‘X’, whilst ‘V’ is now used for infected voice chat. In text chat Infected can ‘Tab’ between human and Infected chat channels.
  
• Proximity chat has been added to custom games. Two options have been added for configuring voice chat during both day and night periods allowing for: global voice chat, muted, or proximity at 5, 10, and 20 metres.
  
• Custom games have been expanded to allow parties of 4 to play. Configure the game with either 1, 2, or ‘random’ number of infected, and see if you or your friends can escape.
  
• Vent map icons have increased in size to make them easier to click.
  
• The hold interaction circle now enlarges when channelling to be slightly more obvious.
  
• The “Innocent can talk at night” game mode option has been removed, as it is now accounted for by the new voice chat option.
  
• Interaction distance has been increased from 1.8 to 2 metres.
  
• Blood boost for your Infected teammate being eliminated, or starting as a solo Infected has been decreased from 800 to 600.
  

The Easter event is still live. Grab as many cosmetics as you can before it ends on the 19th of April.

Next week we’re excited to be bringing you the first expansion since 2018: Spider DLC.

Hello Test Subjects!

The Game Master has given us a short break from our busy schedule of preparing for the Spider DLC to bring you the annual Easter event!


The Easter Bunny has returned and has done his usual thing of hiding eggs all over the place. Go into the Challenges screen on the main menu to start your progress in this year's free-to-play story, where you can earn XP, Credits, and Easter Tokens. Oh and the eggs that will be available during the event give XP, a great way to level up faster to earn more Easter Tokens.


Head to the store and you’ll notice Easter Tokens are available. Using these will give you access to win this year’s rewards. There are also some special discounted bundles which also include credits which you can use to directly unlock cosmetics you like, and a double XP multiplier bonus on Easter eggs that you find when playing.
