Patch Notes 2020 Halloween

Hi everyone,

It's that time of year again!

We've got a spooky event in store for you. You'll be completing challenges to go through a nearby haunted house with a character of your choice. Along the way you'll be earning Halloween Points which you can use to unlock rewards. Once you've gone through the house you’re not done. Go in over and over again with any character you wish to find new paths through with different rewards each time. Share your route in the community Discord to try and piece together where all the points of interest are.

In other news…
Thanks a lot to all of the community members who joined the Gameplay Beta last weekend. We had a lot of fun playing, and the feedback is helping to guide us in the right direction. For those of you still unsure, don’t worry, we’re still taking all of your feedback on board and there’s a lot more refinement to come. We’ll be back with Gameplay Beta 3 in November.

In addition to hopefully releasing the new gameplay changes into live, we have *a lot* of exciting things planned coming over the next few months. We are working on a lighting and optimisation rework for all of our maps: improving the visual experience, gameplay balancing and performance all at once! This winter we’ll be diving into the toybox and bringing back our beloved Christmas event, and as some of you beady-eyed deceivers have already theorised there will be some new friendly and not-so-friendly faces making their debut soon.

See you in-game,

The Baseline Team
