Patch Notes for v6.31 - Legendary Pump Shotgun, Team Rumble LTM and more

Limited Time Mode: Team Rumble

Summary
Two large teams fight for the Victory Royale in an action-packed mode where the first team to get 100 eliminations wins!

Mode Details

• Two teams of 20 players.
• Players will respawn after 5 seconds when eliminated, keeping their inventory.
• Eliminated players spawn a random type of ammo upon elimination, as well as a random stack of either 120 Wood, 90 Stone, or 60 Metal materials.
• Only Uncommon weapons (or better) are available.
• The first team to 100 eliminations wins.

Weapons + Items

• New Epic and Legendary Pump Shotgun
  • 105 / 110 maximum damage
  • Available from floor loot, chests, Supply Drops, and Vending Machines.
• Shotguns will now always apply at least 3 pellets worth of damage if only 1-2 pellets hit the target.
  • NOTE: Bonus pellets can never be critical hits.
• Pump Shotgun maximum damage and fall-off changes.
  • Pump Shotgun maximum damage increased from 80 / 85  to 95 / 100
    • Pump shotguns will do higher damage in shorter range buckets but damage falls off quicker. This means you’ll do more damage to closer targets but less damage to farther targets.
• Added Stink Bombs to Supply Drops
• Removed Double Barrel Shotguns from floor loot
• Mounted Turret
  • Adjusted Mounted Turret collision to make it easier to land shots against anyone occupying it.

Gameplay

• Reduced the in-air speed when using the Glider Redeploy feature in supported game modes.
• Added functionality that allows the placement of map markers in the world without needing to go into the fullscreen map.
  • You’ll be able to look at a position in the world and use the “Place Marker” keybind to place a map marker. This command will only be available by default while in Combat Mode.
  • This command is defaulted to Left on the D-pad for controllers and the Middle Mouse button for PC and Mac.
  • For Mobile players, this command will be bound to an optional button in the HUD Layout Tool.
• Added the ability to pick up and throw back Dynamite with a lit fuse.
  • To throw the Dynamite with a lit fuse, get near it and use the interact key.

• Increased the Dynamite explosion height against players from 192 units to 300 units.
  • This was done to prevent players from being able to jump over the explosion area on flat ground without taking damage.
