New Year Update: New Duel Perks Meta + New map!

Happy New Year everyone!

To begin this year, we release a full rework of the level art of CTF-AndAction and a new meta for duel game type! Are you ready?

MAP

First, CTF-AndAction. The map is a bit bigger with respawns rooms behind the flags:



DUEL MODE: A NEW META

After analyzing 2020 duel tournaments, we have arranged the perks to have a better balancing for this game mode:
  • Light Robot perks:
  1. Blindness swapped with xRay.
  2. Ghost swapped with Freon.
  3. Shield swapped with Heal.
  • Standard Robot perks:
  1. Smoke (no change).
  2. Freon swapped with Ghost.
  3. Teleporter swapped with Shield.
  • Heavy Robot perks:
  1. Gas swapped with Teleporter.
  2. Heal swapped with Gas.
  3. xRay swapped with Blindness.


UPDATES / FIXES
  1. Duel mode: Carnage pickup is now replaced by a +50HP (and no longer by a rocket launcher).
  2. DM-Mars: New pickups distribution.
  3. Damages popup: They are smaller and now colored depending on the damage dealt.
  4. Sounds: Some attenuation filters for dodges / wall-dodges / jump / super jump / teleporter were adjusted.
  5. Smoke perk: Fixed an issue where the x-ray does not work.
  6. Ghost perk: the opacity of the character's skin is corrected.
  7. Some logs added to be able to analyze some rare game crash.
