• Release date: September 22nd 2022 (North America, Europe) / September 23rd 2022 (Japan)
• Patch notes:

NEW FEATURES & GENERAL CHANGES:

 

NEW ITEMS

 

1. Disguise Kit

• A single-use item that functions similarly to the “Swap Clothes” mechanic. This item allows players to disguise themselves as another player regardless of their status as living or dead. The disguise lasts for a limited amount of time, and consumes the kit when used. This item can be crafted at the Crafting Table.
• This item provides opportunities for Traitors (or cheeky survivors) to shift the blame to other players while commiting traitorous acts. This item doubles as a source of security of being caught sabotaging or killing others, as players will not see the actual clothing of the person committing the crime.

2. Snow Shoes

• A single-use item that removes their snow trail and footstep audio. These effects last for a short amount of time before wearing off. This item can be crafted by Traitors at the Crafting Table.
• This item opens up more stealth strategies for traitors. Allowing traitors to sneak into objectives and steal parts without a trail, and making quick getaways if they’re caught.

3. Ice Bomb

• A single-use item similar to the Smoke Bomb that creates a cloud of icey smoke upon use. When activated, the icey smoke will cause players to lose warmth rapidly when standing in Ice Bomb’s radius. It can be used from the hand, as a trap, or thrown. This item can be crafted at the Crafting Table.
• The Ice Bomb offers a unique opportunity that many other items do not. It provides Traitors a way to prevent survivors from entering an area, or deterring them from attacking for an extended amount of time, where traditional traps are removed after activation.

4. Sound Emitter

• A single-use item that emits audio clips over a short amount of time before the item self-destructs. This item is placed like a trap, and will play suspicious audio cues that players can hear from quite a distance.
• This item aims to provide a way for Traitors to distract or lure survivors away from their current objective and either sidetrack or Ambush.

BLACKOUT CHANGES

• Added Dig site and Animal wave as possible first objectives
• Increased the max amount of roles that can be in matches:
  1. Defector

  – Min: 0, Max: 2 (Old Min: 0, Max: 1)
