A brilliant scientist and engineer with multiple Ph.D.’s, Juke worked for Furmi.62, but joined Rogue Company in search of answers after her life's work was destroyed at Furmi.62's SCION facility by the Jackal Agent, Umbra. [h2]Designer Notes on Gameplay Experience[/h2] Juke is a brilliant new rogue that brings with her tons of cutting-edge technology to change the way you can maneuver and set up around the map as a defender. The Juke Boots offer a way to reach heights that were before unreachable! Your Laser Defense Drones allow you to quickly entrench yourself in a new position, while the Reflector introduces a fun new way to send your opponents cascading to their demise!   [h2]Ability and Passive[/h2] [list] [*] [b]Ability: Laser Defense Drone[/b] The Laser Defense Drone is a thrown deployable that, upon making contact with a surface, will attach and be seeking out enemies that come within sight and range. Once an enemy is in range, the drone will target and fire at rogues with an advanced laser that will deal tick damage over time. Enemy rogues will need to either destroy the drone or exit its effective range. Juke is able to charge up to and deploy two drones at a time. [*] [b]Passive: Juke Boots[/b] Juke Boots are a modifier to her dodge roll. With 3 charges(that can recharge), Juke is able to quickly maneuver in the same directions as the normal dodge roll but with a reduced cooldown. Additionally, she can use her boots mid-air to evade and make positioning plays not possible by other rogues. If she is out of charges, she will dodge roll normally until her boots are recharged.

This gadget has the ability to repel enemies and thrown gadgets in a cone in front of her. This device is able to ignore collision, giving Rogues the option to displace enemies that are lurking being cover and corners. [*] [b]NEW![/b] Impact Grenade - A new lethal gadget that deals a moderate amount of explosion damage upon hitting a surface. This gadget is ideal for engaging a firefight or punishing fleeing and damaged foes.

We are moving this season of Ranked back to 4v4 and hope you enjoyed our experimental run of 3v3! [h2]Year 2 Season 2 Ranked Rewarded[/h2] The following rewards will be given to those who are marked veterans in ranked and to those who have achieved Rogue tier for Year 2 Season 2 of Ranked: [list] [*] Play 30 Ranked Games: Covert Ops Banner [*] Achieve Rogue Tier: Masked Mercenary Avatar [/list] [h2]Year 2 Season 3 Ranked Rewards[/h2] The following rewards will be given to those who are marked veterans in ranked and to those who have achieved Rogue tier during the active season: [list] [*] Play 30 Ranked Games: Gunsmith Avatar [*] Achieve Rogue Tier: Cornered Animated Banner [/list] [h1]SUPPLY DROPS[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40882001/109b42fa4365f28854682eed62e6f5912bb75c6f.png[/img] We’re adding a system in Rogue Company called Supply Drops and here’s a TLDR: [list] [*] Supply Drops will allow players to unlock in-game items while playing Rogue Company. [*] There are two versions of supply drops- Reward Supply Drops and Rogue Supply Drops. You can earn Reward Supply Drops through play, or spend Reputation to unlock Rogue Supply Drops. [*] There is also an option to unlock Rogue Supply Drops with Rogue Bucks, but we believe the vast majority of Rogue Supply Drops will be unlocked with Reputation. [*] Each Reward Supply Drop will give you one item, and each Rogue Supply Drop will give you two items. [*] The Supply Table is visible in-game, you have an equal chance to obtain each item, and you will only unlock items you currently don’t own. [*] Supply Drops are completely optional and offer no advantages in-game [/list] If you'd like more details please check out our [url=https://www.roguecompany.com/news/introducing-supply-drops]blog[/url]! [h1]DEPOT VISUAL UPDATE[/h1] [img]https://webcdn.hirezstudios.com/rogue-company/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/HighresScreenshot00099.png[/img] In this update, we are reintroducing Depot, a skirmish map that has undergone a visual overhaul to not only meet our standard for quality but also have a better place in the world of Rogue Company. Depot is one of many training grounds used by Rogue Company for Rogues to hone their skills(or even settle scores with each other) to keep in peak condition. We look forward to your feedback! [h1]PROJECT SAINT[/h1] [h2]Draft Pick Overhaul[/h2] In this update, we aim to improve the overall draft pick experience for our ranked and custom games. This overhaul entails a polished new rogue select experience, cleaner ban experience and unique rogue limitations. In addition, players will no longer re-draft their rogues at half-time. This will have players approach their matches in a more tactical ‘give and take’ mindset in the rogue select phase of the match. We hope you enjoy this update and look forward to your feedback   [h2]Ranked Strikeout[/h2] To further expand the ranked experience for our players: as an experiment, we are introducing a separate ranked queue for Strikeout. Strikeout has shown to be a very popular game mode and, for a good while, there wasn’t a place that the strikeout diehards could graduate to and have a place in the competitive environment. In this update, please try out the ranked experience for Strikeout, complete with the Draft Pick Rogue Select improvement that we detailed above. Let us know what you think! [h1]BUG FIXES[/h1] [list] [*] Fixed some inconsistent announcer callouts in our game modes. [*] Fixed some overlapping music at several points in our game flow. [*] Fixed an instance where Umbra’s ability would fail to damage an enemy. [*] Fixed discoloration for Digital Matrix Gl1tch on Switch. [*] Fixed an echoing issue with the intro video. [*] Fixed some spectating oddities when watching Kestrel. [*] Fixed an issue where Kestrel could still use her ability after being hacked by Gl1tch. [*] Fixed an instance where self-inflicted damage was counting towards a player’s damage on the scoreboard. [*] Fixed an issue where APS would sometimes have an abnormally large hitbox after being placed. [*] Fixed some collision issues on our Vertigo skirmish map. [*] Fixed an issue with Gunsmith where it would remove infinite ammo in the shooting range. [*] Fixed an issue where players couldn’t use a gadget that was given via picking up a resupply crate. [*] Fixed a UI issue where the ‘Arm Bomb’ callout would not disappear while planting the bomb. [*] Fixed an issue with Runway where she could lose her 2nd primary when undoing an upgrade purchase for her primaries. [*] Fixed an issue where Ronin’s ability could trigger through destructible walls [*] Fixed an edge case where players with Replenish would still reload if they triggered the perk with the last bullet. [*] Fixed an issue where players were unable to sprint if they dodge rolled while shooting. [*] Fixed an edge case where if a player died while in Trench’s barbed wire, upon respawning they would still be under the effect of the barbed wire’s slow. [*] Fixed an edge case where once exiting a dodge roll, if the player held down their fire button, two shots would fire. [/list] [h1]KNOWN ISSUES[/h1] [list] [*] Draft Pick Spectators will only see one team’s perspective. This will be fixed in a future release. [*] Juke’s Turret bypasses Sigrid’s Shield, we plan on fixing this as soon as possible in a hotfix. [*] Juke’s Turret is missing hit-register audio, we plan on fixing this as soon as possible in a hotfix. [*] Some edge cases where Juke’s Turret throw trajectory is inaccurate, we plan on fixing this as soon as possible in a hotfix. [*] Ibex Weapon Mastery for 2nd and 3rd milestones only award 1 mastery point, we plan on fixing this as soon as possible in a hotfix. [*] Juke is able to destroy her own turret via a thrown melee weapon. [*] Fringe instances where Impact Grenade will fail do deal damage when used at danger-close ranges. [*] Kestrel’s drones under the effect of the reflector gadget may reflect at odd angles. [*] Sometimes the Supply Drop button will appear in other UI scenes. [*] When opening multiple purchased Supply Drops, sometimes there will only be one item shown. This is a visual bug, players that see this still actually receive the 2nd item. [/list]
