The latest update for BattleBit Remastered, version 2.0, has been released, ushering in a number of changes designed to refine the gaming experience. These changes have been shaped by player feedback, with the intention of bringing improvements to core gameplay.
The alterations coming with this update are extensive. Players can anticipate quicker progression, an additional healing method for all classes, two reworked maps, as well as various polishing measures and bug fixes. Significant advancements have also been made in the Community Server API, with plans for expansion testing leading up to a broader rollout of access.
The general player UI/UX has seen a number of refinements, such as improvements in the detection for targeting downed players for revival, and bugs regarding player armor and body sync have been resolved. Notably, the game will no longer auto lock squads when a party member reserves one for their party to join. Instead, non-party members will be forced to change squads if the reserved party squad is full while a party member is joining the server.
Progression and XP earning have been improved, with the progression curve easing after level 15 to maintain consistent leveling up time. Changes have also been made to how XP is earned, with the destruction of empty transport/boat vehicles no longer yielding points. An XP score event has been added where destroying enemy explosives will yield a hitmarker and additional XP.
Further enhancements have been made to the clan system. Clan submissions will now open with a minimum requirement of Prestige 1, and issues concerning the persistence of used clan invites and the inclusion of expired invites in the 100 clan invite limitation have been resolved.
A noteworthy change to universal healing has been introduced, with bandages now applying self-heal to all classes, even when bleeding, gaining +40 HP for each bandage used. However, bandaging will not heal other players, it will only stop bleeding or revive them. Only the Medic class can heal other players with their Medkit Gadget.
Several class adjustments have been made, particularly to the Assault, Engineer, and Support classes. The Assault class now has access to Ranger Armors and a wider range of weapons, while the Engineer class has received a significant XP bonus for vehicle destruction. The Support class, along with the Engineer, now have a new barbed wires deployable available for use.
Weapon adjustments have also been made, including fixes to weapon attachments affecting player speed and changes to the aim punch/flinch scale. Specific changes to weapons include the Kriss Vector, ACR, and AK5C, among others, affecting damage per bullet, magazine capacity, recoil, and reload speed.
Vehicles have received their share of updates too. A new sea vehicle, the RCB90, has been added, and the XP rewards for destroying enemy vehicles have been diversified based on vehicle type. Various fixes and improvements have been implemented for helicopters, and players will now be healed when they return to base for repairs without needing to exit their vehicles.
Finally, map updates form a crucial part of this patch. Two maps, District and Wine Paradise, have been reworked and expanded. Numerous tweaks have been made to other maps, including shifting objectives and the addition of points of interest. Additionally, measures have been implemented to enhance Capture The Flag (CTF) gameplay, such as the addition of safe zones for teams and increased XP rewards for capturing the enemy flag and killing the enemy flag carrier.
Here’s a look at the full patch notes:
