Intruder: Timeline, Map & Gadget Update

Greetings, Agents. We have an assortment of Intruder improvements going live today, which should not only improve your gameplay experience with specific weaponry, but on particular maps as well. Check out the full details below:
[h2]Steam Timeline[/h2]
Intruder now has Steam Timeline support! Record you mission gameplay with markers for key events.

You can press Shift + Tab to bring up Steam Timeline settings. There is even some potassium tracking added in.

[h2]Map & Gadget Updates[/h2]

Shotgun slugs now deal a maximum of 65 damage up close, but still drops to a minimum 35 damage at range, which is an increase from the Hammerhead's previous 50 damage. You should notice the two-shot-to-kill drop-off starts at a greater range, as well, making the Hammerhead more lethal than ever in close-quarters battles.

Smoke grenades now emit smoke faster, so they'll be more immediately useful as a tactical gadget. We've also updated the VFX for CS Gas, which now features a more visible colored haze indicating the affected area. Smoke and CS gadgets are also better synced, so you should no longer see their effect at the start of a round when joining a server.

We made some changes with distributing items, so take note that rooms with shortened round timers or fewer rounds/sets than default will no longer grant players XP.

We've also made several updates to improve the gameplay experience on both Cliffside and Mountainside. You'll find changes to loadouts, fixes for known and new issues, and more. Additionally, the performance optimization introduced in Mountainside's launch now comes to Cliffside, so you should see an increased frame rate as a result of stronger occlusion culling processes.

For the full breakdown of each map's updates, check out the details below.

[h3]New Mountainside Changes[/h3]

Guards no longer spawn with Dragon ARs. Loadouts have been reverted to Mantas.
The door that leads from Classroom Hallway to Roof is locked and requires a keypad code to open. The codes are located in the Armory and inside the Roof Security Room.
3 Dragon ARs can be found inside the Main Building: Executive Office, Roof Security Room and Roof Storage
The main zipline end point has been moved from the West Guard Booth Antenna to a tree right next to that booth
Added extra bushes and cover along the end of the zipline near the West Guard Booth
Added ladders onto the East and West Guard Booth
Added glowsticks on the main bridge marking the zipline starting points
Added an orange piece of cloth onto the Long Cliff Zipline to indicate you can grab it from jumping off the bridge.
Added text on the sides of the East/West Booths.
Slightly adjusted the position of the pickups in the Armory (pickups aren't as spread out)
Fixed the Satellite Control Server Room server racks not having proper collision
Fixed some ammo boxes slightly clipping into surfaces
Fixed round reset Elevator desync
Fixed round reset Attack Helicopter desync

[h3]New Cliffside Changes[/h3]

Slightly adjusted Intruder spawn
Added and adjusted cover near the Garage entrances to assist Intruders with defending Guard pushes and attacks
Moved the Garage Shotgun closer to Intruder spawn
Fixed the Cliff not slipping players
Fixed a method to climb back into the Project Room ceiling vent
Fixed multiple culling issues
Fixed lighting on small props

Lastly, maps are split into two uploads: Windows and Mac. This was done for Mountainside on release. Now, rather than a single map requiring 1gb for each operating system, it's split 500mb/500mb for Windows/Mac to lighten the load.

[h3]DiD yOu KnOw ThAt!?[/h3]The Falcon inside the Mountainside Armory has 5 extra bullets to compensate for the extra work required to unlock it (compared to grabbing the Dragon AR) for a total of 15 bullets.
