We're aware of and investigating an issue introduced in update 1.0.6.2 that is incorrectly displaying Runner eliminations on the HUD. We'll share an update when we have one available. Thank you for your reports!





Some missed additions for our 1.0.6. patch notes: ➡️ Refreshed icons for cores, implants, and chips to add visual clarity. ➡️ Signal Jammers are now purchasable from the Armory. ➡️ Added a new “toggle to open” voice chat option, so players can turn Proximity Chat and Team Chat open with one press and close it with another.



Matchmaking is a complex series of wires and circuits trying to connect players to give them the best time to match while also providing quality matches. In that complex nest of things we found a bug related to regional matchmaking that is affecting a very small set of players that is unintentionally putting them in matches they’re not supposed to be in. We’re prepping a fix to get in for Tuesday morning 4/21 PT to fix this. Thanks for helping us find this, we’ll work on smoothing it out.

UPDATE: WTF WSTRs We're gonna take a shot at bringing the WSTR more in line. Right now it's become a dominant option and is eclipsing a lot of the other short range options that exist in the game. SOOOOOO... as of Tuesday 4/21 (likely 8AM PT) the WSTR will no longer be able to down an enemy player who has blue shields or above with two shots. The ideal is that in a majority of cases this will force a reload in scenarios where the target has a blue shield, allowing for some more counterplay in these scenarios. What Will Change: - Change will go live Tuesday 4/21 in the morning. Likely 8AM PT. - WSTRs can still down a green shielded target with 2 direct shots at short rang - WSTRs will no longer be able to down a blue and above shielded target with 2 shots at short range. We're still keeping an eye on a variety of balance issues. Thanks for all the feedback, keep it coming and we'll keep hammering at it.
