1.4.2 Out Tomorrow

Were happy to announce that our next update, 1.4.2, is going to be rolled out tomorrow!

1.4.2 brings you the highly anticipated PureSkill ruleset where upgrades are nullified and you can fight on an even playing field! The update also includes the latest weapon balancing changes based on your 1.4.1 feedback!

The servers will be offline from 05:00 EDT / 02:00 PDT until 09:00 EDT / 06:00 PDT on Thursday 16th September.
