addedSpirit Bombs: New Spirit Bombs added around maps, these can be shot to explode and deal damage to nearby players, they also provide a small knockback and give you 1 ammo. You can use these to launch yourself or damage other players. Great for comboing with other movement.
changedZiplines are back! With some improvements, your look direction will now influence launch velocity when exiting the zipline. Getting knocked back or stunned by anything will cause you to fall off the zipline.
changedGeneral Gameplay: - Projectile whizby sounds added - Added a short impulse if jumping out of a roll - Can now look around during the loadout phase - Added current round below the clock on the UI - Added an Ultimate Orb in the middle of the map (standing in the vicinity displayed around the orb will decrease your current ultimate cooldown percent by -50% and give you 10 ammo) - Arrows now stay in the hit location for 30 seconds and can be picked up to increase ammo count - Arrows now dissolve after start dissolving at 27 seconds - Ammo & Infinite ammo indication shows on ammo count near your crosshair - Reduced blink cooldown from 12 > 8 - Base ammo is 12/20 - Shadowform resets whatever movement ability you are using - Added back the UI indicator above ammo packs - Added ammo packs to the tutorial - Wallbounce now directional to the player instead of camera, can keep looking at an enemy whilst you want to wallbounce.

For example, Jump + A to jump off a wall to the left - stunned/status text no longer shows in round start - Fixed first person animations not working sometimes when spectating other players - Fixed a bug where you could kick bots into the orbs to go to the next level in the tutorial and spawn all bots at that position - New keybind for interacting (with ziplines etc..) - Increased collision size of special arrow types - Reduced special arrow type speeds from 8000 > 5000 - Map changes - Collision fixes - Matchmaking fixes - Climbing/mantle accuracy adjustments and increased climb speed
