Patch 1.1
Friends and Frenemies,
Thank you for all the feedback you’ve been giving us as we work to improve during Early Access. We’re stoked by the response to the game, and we’ve got even more weirdness coming your way, starting with this patch.
And now, a message from our Game Director, Eric:
With this next batch of Wildcards we were looking to make the game a little weirder. We have cards that add light, cards that add sound, cards that add traps, and cards that completely change the game rules into a brand-new game mode. Let us know which combinations are your favorites.
You heard him! We're adding more Wildcards!
Here's what you can expect:
Infection
Classic FFA, but when you shoot someone they join your team. Recruit everyone (by force) and the round ends. Kill the most people to win.
Light Speed
Sprinting with your flashlight on makes you run with light speed. Get it? Light… Speed?
Floaty Jump
Soar to new heights, explore the ceilings… get the cobwebs while you’re up there, huh?
No Doors
You thought the mansion was drafty before!
Restock Vendors
Toys for everyone! Vendors Restock when the final toy is dispensed from them.
Bodily Malfunction
Someone let the team put a fart card in the game? And they didn’t call it Silent But Deadly? Are you kidding me?
No Bleedout
You’ll spend less time on the ground crawling after your teammates, but that doesn’t mean you can’t die.
1st Floor Only
Maximillian Wormwood is doing some renovations on the 2nd floor so you can only play on the 1st floor. Good for games with fewer players.
Will O Wisps
Floating Wisps move through the mansion, passing through doors and lighting up rooms.
Haunted Doors
Hey! Who opened that door?
Mannequin Mayhem
Six tricky mannequins are added to the mansion. Don’t let their flashlights fool you!
Bear Trap Trouble
Twenty Bear Traps are spawned in random locations around the mansion. Have fun walking in the dark.
Headhunters Update!
Headhunters matches are now longer, giving the Hunters more time to look for skulls! Less panic, more crushing.
Bots Now Use Toys
What could be more terrifying than bots with killer instincts with a Molotov? Now they’ll interact with vendors and arm themselves with weapons and toys. Hooray?
Player Reporting
Players who are repeatedly reported for toxic behavior will have their voice chat interrupted. It’s like a silencer… for your face.
News!
Our in-game news screen will keep you updated on the latest in-game updates, patches and regrets.
