GN Version 5.0


Battle Royale

Fixed the following issues:

Players were incorrectly being shown that they were being dropped to a lower Division in Arena.
This was a visual-only issue, players were not actually being moved to a lower Division and the correct Division for each player is now displayed in-game.
Blackheart’s beard was growing uncontrollably in the Deep Fried Food Fight LTM and would cover most of a player’s screen. He has visited a barber and his beard is back to its previous glory.
Bushes were not appearing in any game modes after playing a match in the Air Royale LTM.
Nameplate and ally indicators were missing from the UI in the Deep Fried Food Fight LTM.
Extra buttons on mobile devices weren’t functioning properly when quickly alternating between clicking dedicated weapon select and building buttons.

Creative Mode

Made stability improvements specific to Creative Mode.

All Modes

Fixed the following issues:
Throwable items were not dealing damage if it was the last item consumed in a stack.
The countdown for the Item Shop was showing an incorrect time.
