Helicopters + New Map Playtest (Sat. January 28th)
Hello Patrons! A Stress Test will take place Saturday, January 28th!
Featured:
Transport Helicopters - WIP (updated progress here)
ISLE - New, snowy map.
Head to the Steam post for the full rundown.
New Map: "ISLE" - Work in Progress
The terrain featured on "Isle" will be flat with lots of small firs. They do not grow taller due to cold and strong winds and also due to lack of sunlight. That will help you to hide from snipers at long distances.
Pictured above is the CONQ 127v127 layout on "Isle".
For the first time in BattleBit, both teams will spawn offshore at Air Carriers. It will be important to keep some of objectives captured to...

UPDATE: April Playtest Postponed
We have made the difficult decision to postpone the playtest to a later date that remains to be determined. The current build has some major issues that will take awhile to address.
We are aware all of you have waited, but sadly the current build isn't stable enough to be playable, and hotfixes aren't sufficient enough to change that.
We'll inform you all of when the next public playtest will be.
We are sorry things turned out this way, and know that it will be disappointing for ...
Reminder: Patreon charges on the 1st each month.
There is sometimes some confusion on how our pledge type works, so just wanted to provide a quick reminder. If for whatever reason you do not plan on continuing your pledge to our Patreon, please proceed to cancel, you don't need to wait until the end of the month. Pledges cover the entire month upon charge, so even if you pledge on March 29th, you do not need to remain pledged through April 29th. You could cancel March 30th and be fine.

2022-03-14 17:50:46 +0000 UTC View Post"Brick by Brick" - New environment detail improvements.
Work continues not only with bug fixes, server optimization and other technical things, but also art! We were aware and have heard the complaints about the super flat textures of building geometry, sometimes making it difficult to navigate or see difference in depth. We want to improve this with little to no impact on game performance.
Hopefully you'll agree this is a big step in the right direction! Get a sample of it in the Shooting Range. Let us know your thoughts below <3
Name these weapons!
Whoever answers correctly first will be rewarded with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
