Premium Battlepass Bonus XP

  • Upgrading to the Premium Battlepass will grant a 3% XP boost toward the Battlepass tier progression for all matchmade games until the end of Act II
    • We believe that the Battle Pass experience is the best, and you can get amazing rewards when you unlock levels, reach major milestones, and are satisfied with what you have obtained.
  • This is not retroactive, so upgrading early will give you access to the most amount of XP
  • The XP boost does not apply toward Daily or Weekly Missions. 

SOCIAL UPDATES

    Updated AFK detection logic to prevent players from obtaining battle pass/account level through AFKing in game modes such as deathmatch and snowball fight

PERFORMANCE UPDATES

  • Updated the ping calculation to exclude the server frame time.
  • Updated markers used by NVIDIA Reflex
    • NVIDIA Reflex is used to reduce and measure rendering delays. This update should allow Reflex to increase the frame rate by adding current markers and fixing some old ones.
