In this update you'll find a number of new features, shiny content and quality of life improvements, but enough of the introduction! Let's get right into the mix..
FACEIT
If you've been watching our dev update videos then you'll know all about FACEIT. If you don't... then you really should subscribe to us.FACEIT is the top system for you to play competitively online in a number of games, and by working closely with their team, we've now added Dirty Bomb to their roster. Later today their services will be switched on meaning once this happens and you've made a FACEIT account you'll be able to join community hubs to play with and against friends, and find new players to join as you hone your skills in the premier competitive environment.
Especially for FACEIT we've implemented Drafting which includes Merc bans and prevents duplicate Mercs on the same team.. This means you're going to have to think hard about what Mercs you want to ban, taking them away from yourselves and your opponents, and which ones to take into a match. If you're missing a few Mercs and are worried you may get banned out, don't worry! When you play on FACEIT any Merc can be selected, regardless of if you've unlocked them or not. Want to earn shiny things for playing with FACEIT? WHO DOESN'T!! And we're not going to disappoint. We've carefully crafted FACEIT Weapon Skins for each and every Primary and Secondary weapon which you can pick up in the FACEIT Store with FACEIT points. Play well, earn points and get exclusive content..
Tasty.. There's also an exclusive FACEIT Trinket available for you to pick up if you really want to show off your competitive prowess..
More of FACEIT's features will be added over time allowing us to run our own tournaments and more! So keep an eye out for official Dirty Bomb hubs and for announcements of when tournaments will be kicking off! As we mentioned, FACEIT's services will be turned on later today, so keep an eye on our social channels so you know exactly when you can get into competitive games!
NVIDIA SHADOWPLAY HIGHLIGHTS
For all of you content creators out there you've probably used Nvidia's ShadowPlay feature as it's great for capturing high quality footage while not killing your framerate. Well, we've been working closely with them to add more functionality which you'll be able to make the most of and now you can use ShadowPlay Highlights when recording gameplay.
ShadowPlay Highlights only records when you do certain things. Get a triple kill? It'll record it! Get last minute defuse? No problem, it's captured! Run around and get killed 20 times in a row? Nar, we don't need to take up your hard drive space with that. This makes recording footage and editing it a much smoother and easier process. You can also create a montage of the clips captured with ShadowPlay Highlights AND share it to your social channels right from the game. How sick is that?!So enjoy and get capturing! Another frag movie competition is coming soon so get used to using it.
STEAM TRADING
Steam Trading is ALMOST here.. We're very sorry for the delay. Regulations around Loot Boxes are different all over the place so making sure we tick all the boxes has been a little tricky, but now almost all of our ducks are now in a row and it won't be
