The Giant Emu Update is Here
Crikey, it looks like Super Saharaland has a new point of interest to explore, and it has arrived along with a herd of Giant Emus to ride!
Up to two Super Animals can hop on the back of a Giant Emu: the front rider controls the Giant Emu and its peck attack, while the back rider uses a jockey whip to trigger a speed boost.
- Peck attack deals 45 melee damage through armor.
- Giant Emus have 150 health points and change visual state as they take damage.
- Heal your Giant Emu by using a campfire.
- Giant Emus will absorb most damage for the player, but explosions and skunk gas will still harm each rider.
- Giant Emus can be found in forests and will roam short distances when they don't have a rider.

New Weapon: Hunting Rifle
Thomas Sledison watched the Giant Emu escape footage last week, so as a precaution, he’s been hard at work creating a new weapon.
The Hunting Rifle is a break-action weapon, so it only has a single shot before needing to reload, but is accurate for each shot. It fills the role of an entry level sniper rifle, and as such can be found in common (grey), uncommon (green) and rare (blue) tiers.
v0.93.0 Full Patch Notes
Highlights:
- Check out the Giant Emu Ranch in the southeast corner of Super Saharaland.
- Hop on a two-player rideable Giant Emu.
- Earn the new Rancher Hat and the Rancher Outfit through two new milestones for getting kills with the Emu.
- New weapon: the Hunting Rifle, a break-action sniper (available in common, uncommon and rare tiers).
- The original Sniper is now only available in epic and legendary tiers. The epic version still spawns in the world, at the same rarity chance as an M16, and its bullet speed has been increased slightly.
- The Super Lucky Lion is now available in the Research Lab and will be available permanently.
- St. Pawtrick's items have a 25% chance of dropping after each match played until March 29th at 11:59pm PDT (4 new 2020 items + 3 returning 2019 items).
Weapon Balancing:
- The regular Pistol's clip size is now 10 (previously was 8).
- Magnum & Deagle bullet speed increased.
- Poison Dart Gun does 10 damage per poison tick (up from 9). This means that two shots with poison darts can kill a full health player (unless they manage to heal to save themselves).
- AK & M16 now do slightly less damage at further ranges (increased damage falloff).
- AK & M16 per-shot recoil decreased, but total maximum recoil increased.
- Uncommon/Rare AK bullet speed reduced by 1% and 2% respectively, and Epic/Legendary M16 bullet speed reduced by 2.5% and 3.5% respectively. These changes distinguish the AK and M16 more from snipers, which have the best bullet speed. It also reduces the amount of bullet speed variance between rarity tiers.
- Skunk Bomb's damage per tick increased from 13 to 16, and total time from 5.4s to 8.4s.
Additional changes:
- The amount of bounce in the Spectator Ghost's animation has been reduced to make it less distracting.
- Fixed the map's flight arrows glitching when changing screen aspect ratio.
- Fixed in-game chat allowing the typing of more characters than permitted.
- The "Vehicle Kills" statistic has been renamed to "Hamster Ball Kills" and a new stat has been created for "Emu Kills"
