WHAT’S NEW?
New gameplay changes were made to help players get a chance to complete their challenges and progress through the game without having to worry about the encroaching circle. Changes were also made to help the balance between solo and duo players in the same match. Here is what you’ll experience in the upcoming test:
EMOTES
Yes, you read that right! You can express your feelings and intents to your friends, potential new friends, and foes.
A TRAVELING MERCHANT
Niblers is our newest NPC addition, but this time, he is not an enemy and could very well be your best friend in a time of need. Niblers will wander on the map, carrying loot in his bag that you can purchase from him, or sell things you do not need to free up space.
THE CIRCLE
We have changed how the circle will work in Project F4E. Each match will start with 15 min on the timer, and once the timer reaches 5 min, you will get a message prompt saying “The area is becoming unstable” and the circle will start to move, so keep an eye on your map!
PORTALS
Portals will start spawning as the circle starts to appear. Some portal locations are fixed on the map, while others will spawn next to the final circle location.
LONE WOLF PERK
To help with balancing solo and duo players in the same matches, we have added the Lone Wolf perk which will be given to players going in solo. This perk gives solo players some extra strength to help them against duo players.
