Season’s greetings, Ghosts and Hunters!
As the holiday season blankets the world in warmth and cheer, our ghostly game is no exception to the festive magic. 'Tis the season for festive spirits, so grab your gear and get ready for a hauntingly delightful Christmas hunt!
❄️2ND HUNTER GADGET SLOT ❄️
Previously, Hunters had only one gadget slot that would force a player to pick either a tracking gadget or something else. Internally, we’ve experimented with adding a second gadget slot to Hunters that gave lesser-used gadgets a time to shine without needing to give up the ability to track Ghosts. The results were promising, so we are rolling this change out in this update!
Hunters now have the choice of a weapon, a regular gadget, a utility gadget, and a perk. We have currently split the gadgets in a way that we think makes the most sense to prevent a solo Hunter from being overly strong, but please note this is experimental, and we would love to hear your feedback!
The “regular” gadgets are Radar, Vacuum, Camcorder, Spectrophone, Pathfinder, and Trap. While the “utility” gadget options are Defibrillator, Medic Kit, Grenade, Grappling Hook, and C4.
Our goal with this change is to allow the Hunters to use more of the niche gadgets while still retaining a tracking gadget. We can’t wait to see what new crazy builds you come up with!
In an attempt to balance out this change, we have decreased Hunter movement speed by about 10% to compensate for the extra power that Hunters gain to hopefully prevent a major swing in balance. We will be keeping a close eye on the analytics and your feedback, and we will adjust as needed!
💻 MAIN MENU UI OVERHAUL💻
The first thing you will notice when booting up Update 11 will be the newly overhauled main menu! This new main menu allows for easier navigation through the various menus, brings the style up to date, and adds a widely-requested new feature: you can now toggle between Ghost and Hunter skins for your party in the main menu!
💃 SEPARATE EMOTES & VICTORY POSES FOR HUNTERS & GHOSTS💃
You may also spot a new feature in the new main menu, separate emote and victory pose selections for Hunters and Ghosts! You know you have always wanted to Praise the Duck as a Hunter and do the Forbidden Gesture as a Ghost, right? RIGHT? Well, now you can!
