[h3][b]Shred, forge, and fix your way to victory![/b][/h3] This week’s update cranks the volume to 11 with store items that bring the noise and some much-needed fixes to The Arena. Take center stage with [i]Death by Rhodents[/i]! Smash your foes in style with the Wrath of Rats Set, complete with a sledgehammer electric guitar that riffs on inspect, or embrace your inner fan with the Thrash Rat Bundle. Prefer a more refined edge? The Synthronium Forge Set lets you channel futuristic craftsmanship in every encounter. On the technical side, we’ve tuned up a whole bunch of bugs and included some much needed quality of life changes with everything from fixing the interrupt steal contract not rewarding players properly, to a new accessibility option that replaces flashbang whiteouts with blackouts. Looking ahead: Tomorrow kicks off Week 3 of the ISEUL-T Cup, alongside a brand-new community event. Stay tuned for all the details in tomorrow’s notes!
