This Season will run until the end of 3.4. Read on to see what we’ve done for ranked to see why. [b]Ranked Access Requirements Updated[/b] ]In previous updates, players only had to reach level 10 and have access to at least 10 Rogues in order to play.  This was noticeably too low of a requirement and created situations where players who weren’t quite ready for the skill-gap when jumping in that early. Therefore, we are enacting the following changes:[list] [*][b]Ranked now requires Account Level 25 and ownership of 12 Rogues to play[/b][/*][/list]This asks for players to put in a bit more time learning the rule sets, mechanics of the games and the nuances of our Rogues/Weapons before diving into competitive. [b]Draft Pick Bans Increased[/b] Additionally, in a match we are updating the number of bans available to each team up to 2 Rogues. This results in a total of four Rogues to be banned out of a match. That is an entire team composition! It’ll be exciting to see how players will plan around this change to Draft Pick.[b]Year 3 Season 1 Ranked Rewards[/b]This Season we continue the trend of offering better tier rewards for our most devoted and high-skilled players that grind and compete in Ranked! The following Ranked Rewards are what you can gain by competing and being the best.[list] [*]Get Ranked Contract Reward: Demonic Gaze Epic Avatar[/*] [*]Gone Rogue Contract Reward: Shiny and Chrome Cannon Outfit[/*] [*][b]NEW! [/b]Top 1000 Rogue Ranked Players: Rainbow Dust Dima Legendary Outfit[/*] [*][b]NEW! [/b]Top 500 Rogue Ranked Players: Brimstone Sahara Mythic Weapon Skin[/*] [*][b]NEW! [/b]Top 100 Rogue Ranked Players: Rogue Demon Mythic Title[/*][/list]What this? Top Rogue Ranked Players? How are players supposed to know that? Well…. [b]Rogue Company Ranked Leaderboard (Coming Soon)[/b][img]https://webcdn.hirezstudios.com/rogue-company/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/3.2_3-1024x537.png[/img]In the first step of rolling out version one of a feature that was [b]most requested by our players[/b], we are introducing the Ranked Leaderboards. In this first version, players will be able to view the leaderboard on our official website either by directly visiting in their browser or clicking a link/QR code found in game. This leaderboard sorts by your Rogue Points that you continue to accrue as you play ranked games after reaching Rogue Rank. This leaderboard will reset at the end of the season after we reward the top players with their exclusive ranked rewards for being the top 1000/500/100 players. We are excited to watch this leaderboard closely throughout the season to see who truly are the top players in our community! [h2]Player Level Uncapped and Progression Rewards[/h2][img]https://webcdn.hirezstudios.com/rogue-company/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/3.2_4-1024x576.png[/img]This update also comes with yet another request frequently made by players which is raising the player level cap:[list] [*][b]Max Player Level Increased from 550 → 1000[/b] [u]We will increase the level cap again at a future date with more rewards![/u][/*][/list]This comes with a flattening of XP from players that are already 550 and are sitting on considerable XP to avoid potential issues with our reward systems. Don’t worry, you’ll still be 550 and said players will also be rewarded with the exclusive “Uncapped” title to denote their investment of being incredibly dedicated players who enjoy Rogue Company. Players will be able to continue earning reputation rewards per level beyond 550 as well. Additionally, we have added Milestone Rewards to further reward players for achieving these major levels from enjoying our game. Get out there and level up![h2]New Map: Highcastle Omega[/h2][img]https://webcdn.hirezstudios.com/rogue-company/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/3.2_5-1024x558.jpg[/img]In this Update we are introducing a new version of Highcastle called Highcastle Omega! This map boasts not only an amazing visual update but also new combat spaces and routes. You’ll find this map in the following Queues:[list] [*][b]Limited Time Only! [/b]Highcastle Omega Variety Queue[/*] [*]Quickplay[/*] [*]Normal Strikeout & Demolition[/*] [*]Custom Strikeout & Demolition[/*] [*]Practice Strikeout & Demolition[/*] [*]Ranked Strikeout & Demolition[/*] [*]6v6 TDM[/*] [*]4v4 KOTH[/*][/list]“But First Watch, what about Old Highcastle?!” Worry not! We felt that the gameplay differences between the two maps are significant enough to warrant them both being in the map pool! We look forward to playing this new map with you all and excited to hear what you think![h2]Balance Changes[/h2][b]Rogues[/b]In this update, players will see the return of a gameplay role: Intel. This role specializes helping their team to gain information on enemy positions to turn engagements in their favor. They sit in the middle of the spectrum between support and duelist, gathering intel while also being able to hold their own as they put themselves at risk for their team. We’ve done this as it opens up a creative avenue for how we approach a collective of rogues that have similar toolsets and opens the door for new intel ideas for the future! You’ll see a good number of rogues that used to have this role step back into it and some of the newer rogues assume it as well. Some of these Rogues require little-to-no changes as they’re already well-equipped for the task.[b]Intel Rogues[/b][list] [*]Dallas[/*] [*]Glimpse[/*] [*]Phantom[/*] [*]Seeker[/*] [*]Talon[/*][/list] [b]Mack[/b][list] [*]Perk Loadout Updated to better reflect the Defender/Breacher Hybrid[list] [*]Rare Berserker[/*] [*]Rare Blaster[/*] [*]Rare Armor -> Nimble Hands[/*] [*]Epic Stalker -> Epic Bulletproof[/*] [*]Epic Gunsmith[/*] [*]Epic Bounce Back[/*] [*]Legendary Crackshot -> Legendary Stalker[/*] [*]Legendary Restock -> Legendary Tenacity[/*][/list][/*] [*][b]Standard Issue[/b][list] [*]Repair change reverted back to 25 Armor on Down[/*][/list][/*][/list][b]Gl1tch[/b][list] [*][b]Hack[/b][list] [*]Hack Activation Time Reduced From  2s -> 1.5s[/*] [*]Hack Duration Increased From 5s -> 6s[/*][/list][/*][/list][b]Cannon[/b][list] [*][b]Gatling Gun[/b][list] [*]Move speed reduction removed[/*] [*]Headshot damage increased from 16 -> 18[/*][/list][/*][/list][b]Dallas[/b][list] [*]Is Now an Intel Rogue[/*] [*]Loadout Changes[list] [*]Adrenaline Shot Replaced with EMP Grenade[/*][/list][/*] [*][b]Target Finder + Recharge QoL[/b][list] [*]Recharge now appropriately refreshes Target Finder while the ability is still active.

For their identity we are exploring the idea of all LMGs possessing the accuracy behavior that the Conviction has paved the way for and will balance LMGs, both current and future, in this unique accuracy type. Additionally, we are considering that the huge firepower of this weapons also come at a slight mobility cost when compared to their smaller caliber/capacity siblings. Let us know what you think![list] [*]MLX Maw [u]The Maw is currently overperforming and will receive additional adjustments overtime to bring it down to manageable levels.
