Challenges Overhaul v1.2.4

Welcome to our 1.2.4 patch! We are very happy to see how many of you are constantly coming back to test your skills on the weekly challenges and we’ve definitely heard you ask for ways to play more than one challenge a week. This update is meant to address that and improve your overall control and “late game” replayability.

CHALLENGES AND SEEDS

The weekly challenge is no longer only a checkbox. Now it is one of three ways of playing challenge matches. Choosing the weekly option will send you to the same once-a-week challenge that you are used to. You know, the same rules for everyone and all that. It is good to mention that this is still the only challenge that will unlock the golden appliances achievements.

The first new option we added is “random”. That will allow you to randomize the modifiers and get a new set of rules each time you click the button that pops beneath it. You can randomize once to just have a new challenge to play or do it multiple times to choose the set of rules that seems more interesting for you.

The second one is the seed mode. In it, you can write down a seed of a specific challenge and play it. That may come in hand, if a friend of yours or a streamer played a random match that you want to try or if you want to store a fun weekly challenge seed to play it again later. You can find a match’s seed in the pause and the end screen, may it be after a victory or defeat.

NEW MODIFIERS

Since we are giving you all more chances to play challenges, it would be great to increase the amount and variety of modifiers available in the game, so that is what we did!
