Changes and Updates

Changes to Demolition Audio

• To help players separate when an opponent is demolished and when a teammate goes BOOM! during fast-paced matches, we’ve added an audible ping to the explosion audio when opponents demolish one of your teammates
• Volume for this new audio cue is tied to the Gameplay slider under Settings -> Audio
• Audio when you or a teammate demolishes an opponent is unchanged
  

Timestamps in Chat

• We’ve added timestamps to Text Chat and Quick Chats across all online and offline matches and modes
• Timestamps will mirror the in-game timer according to the match type. For example, timestamps in Soccar will have descending time, while Knockout quick chats will have ascending time
• Overtime will also display ascending time

Changes to Item Shop Bundles

There are going to be changes to how bundles are sold in the Item Shop. Here they are:

• 
  If you own items in a bundle that’s currently in the Item Shop, you can now buy the bundle minus the cost of the customization item(s) that you already have in your inventory
  
• If the bundle you’re purchasing is being sold at a discounted price, and you already own one or more items in the bundle, the full price of the owned items will be deducted until the minimum price for the bundle is met
  
• If you’ve already purchased all items in a bundle, all items will show as “owned” and the purchase button will be disabled
  
• All of the above applies to bundles sold for in-game Credits, and not to bundles sold for real-world currency
