This update also introduces a brand new skirmish map, Vertigo, a Jackal outpost built upon a cliff face. Don't slip! As for Project Saint, we have added improvements, such as dynamic scoreboards, to give players a more complete experience when playing matches. [h2]NEW MAP: VERTIGO[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40882001/4d938a168b5f94cd2fbd4a5fc41a15546a0a063d.jpg[/img] Located in a remote region in Northwest Asia, Rogue Company has traced the Jackal strike on Meltdown. Outfitted with a heavy artillery platform called a Capacitor Pulse Array, Rogue Company believes this outpost could threaten much of the world and has mobilized their Rogues to take the facility down and understand its true purpose. When playing on Vertigo, be cautious of pitfalls and getting caught in the crossfire! The map's slightly larger footprint, interconnecting paths, and overlapping zip lines create a dynamic and fast-paced map that plays well with our 4v4 skirmish modes like Skirmish Dodgeball and Skirmish TDM. Additional Note: Depot is back in the dev workshop, receiving a much-needed visual update! We have removed it from our skirmish game modes, giving players more opportunity to play Vertigo. Please look forward to the return of Depot in a future update! [h2]MORE STORE CONTENT[/h2] Since our Alpha launch in 2020, Rogue Company has released incredible content, including unforgettable skins like Hellfire Protocol Scorch, the Ultimate Burn Wingsuit, and the classic Finger Guns emote. Many of you who joined us in later seasons have asked, "Will these cosmetics ever be available again?" Well, we have some good news for you! Is there something missing in your inventory? A fashion for Fixer or an avatar for Anvil? Look no further! With the introduction of this update, limited items from previous Battle Passes will now be available in Store rotations with Rogue skins, weapon skins, avatars, banners, and sprays. Take advantage of this while you can, and be sure to log in this May for the Rogues Rising update to see what's available! [b]Please note:[/b] This offering will not include exclusive items such as Season Rewards, Beta Rewards, or Founders Pack items. [h2]CROSSPLAY AND MATCHMAKING[/h2] Matchmaking queues have been changed to combine keyboard and mouse players and controller players.  Please see [url=https://www.roguecompany.com/news/new-crossplay-and-matchmaking-changes]this article[/url] for details! [h2]PROJECT SAINT[/h2] In this update, Project Saint initiatives focus on polishing and improving global player experience pieces of our game modes.  [h2]PROJECT SAINT: MVP LINEUP[/h2] Every match will now showcase the top three performers of a match. The MVP is determined by various general and game mode-specific performance metrics. Did you drop 50 downs? Are you the patron (or matron) Saint of revives, leaving no soldier behind? The immovable object holding down the fort on all King of the Hill points? We hope that this celebration of player skill at the end of every match will make players feel like true Rogues. As always, we look forward to your feedback! [h2]PROJECT SAINT: DYNAMIC MATCH MUSIC[/h2] We have revamped our music and added more moments for music to be a core experience of our game! So please give it a listen as you play and let us know what you think.  [h2]PROJECT SAINT: DYNAMIC SCORECARDS[/h2] As a core component of all of our game modes, we decided to overhaul and improve our scoreboard to reflect better the metrics our players care about on a game-mode-by-game-mode basis. We have a few more improvements, like reworking how Eliminations behave, that will represent player performance. Let us know what you think! [h2]NARRATIVE EVENT: JUKE'S GAMBIT[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40882001/f8a867fb0c6670a7f07971163a726c9dfde664d3.jpg[/img] Since the introduction of Rogue Company, we have been hard at work building the world and everything within it. However, we were aware that we lacked the means to deliver our lore to the community, which our players often requested. So we've rolled out bits and hints to the world of Rogue Company and its characters via bios and maps. With our Narrative Event feature, this will be the first event that allows players to engage with our lore by accomplishing objectives to receive a cosmetic reward and unlock story elements that reveal more about the world, the characters, and potential events. We hope you enjoy our first narrative event, Juke's Gambit, as we figure out who was impacted by Jackal's attack on Meltdown.
