It feels like Season 9 arrived only yesterday, but it's already time for a whole new Season! Over the past 84 days, Creative has grown and matured, and this new Season brings with it a few fun additions.
We get a new "Grid Island", Risky Reels prefabs, the Cabin prop gallery, a bunch of gameplay adjustments and some bug fixes with adjustments to devices.
There is also an Advanced Storm Controller for all you Creative BR warriors to create your multi-phase storms.
We hope we got your attention! Let's hop into patch notes.
WHAT’S NEW?
Advanced Storm Controller
- Now you can replicate the Battle Royale 10 wave storm, or you can create your own multi-phase storm.
Advanced Storm Beacon
- This allows you to customize specific phases or to set the number of phases of the Advanced Storm Controller.
Weapon-Free Zone
- While in a Weapon-Free Zone, a player cannot fire a weapon, swing a pickaxe, throw a grenade, or use items.
B.R.U.T.E.
Few suits make you feel as powerful as a mech suit does. In this two-person vehicle, players can control its movement while their partner controls its firepower. Those feeling extra adventurous can operate it solo by switching between moving and shooting!
Junkyard Juke LTM
- Bring junk to the incinerator to receive points for your team. The bigger piece of junk, the more points.
Sky Station Showdown LTM
- Battle the other squads to claim the most points from the capture zones! Climb to the top of the Fast Food towers while protecting your VIP! Use impulse grenades and other power ups to blast other teams out of the capture zones!
