Summary: Goodbye Breeze, hello Abyss! A new map rotation has been introduced to Competitive and Deathmatch matchmaking queues. We've also fixed agent bugs and issues with transforming melee weapons like Kuronami 2.0 and Nocturnum.
Happy patch day! I'm Emily, and I'll be introducing it this time as well. Act 5 has begun. Along with this, several fixes have been implemented to make it easier to continue playing ranked matches. Have you all checked out the new skin series yet? The Flex is also great, so please use it to the fullest...
Act 5 kicks off with minor bug fixes and adjustments, but please keep an eye out for news coming in September. The next Dev Update might be just around the corner. There are many other updates we can't wait to announce! But that's all for now. GLHF!
