Dev Changelog: 4 Nov

🆕 NEW MODES

• 🏚️ Facechecks 1v1 & 2v2: close-quarters rounds round one building, teams spawn either side. Round 1 pistols, then AR and pistol. Sides switch after round 3 and again at 5-5, and the zone closes in late every round. First to 6
• 🏆 Ranked Facechecks 2v2 with its own ELO ladder. Maps: Backlot, Vespucci Beach, Kortz Center, Mirror Park
• ⚔️ Challenge a friend: right-click a friend for a 1v1 Facecheck, or hold Left Alt on a player in the lounge
• 🎯 FX Tester on the Play tab: your own arena with a dummy that gets back up. Try every gun, skin and melee item you own

🪂 BATTLEZONE EVENTS

• Solos events with 1,000 / 750 / 500 coins for the top 3. Join from chat with /bzjoin and wait on the carrier
• Start with your pistol skin, your melee item, heals and armour, with two lives
• Guards drop guns, heals and armour (E to loot), cars round the map (only pistols fire from cars), damage numbers, and spectate whoever's left when you're out

🏆 RANKED

• ✅ Ready check before every match (10 ticks in 5v5). Anyone not ready calls it off, no SR lost
• 🏳️ /ff to forfeit as a team (it costs SR) and /timeout before the next round. No more leaving a ranked match
• 🔥 Win streaks: fire round your picture, orange at 3 wins, green at 5, purple at 7, rainbow chrome at 10
• ⚠️ A proper warning screen when a cheater ban changes your SR

🚗 DISSYS & FACECHECKS

• 👑 The round MVP shows their calling card and picture, higher on screen
• 🎬 The scoreboard fades in over a blurred screen between rounds while the camera pulls back, a red tint on the countdown, and switching sides orbits your team at the new spawn
• 🚪 Your seat pick is just where you spawn: jump in at any door or use /seat 1-4. Teammates warm up behind the cars
• 🧭 A compass under the score bar in every mode, and a darker zone on the map with the next one as a red ring
• 🔫 Pistol rounds show only the pistol, and keys 1 and 2 both draw it

🔫 COMBAT

• 🪓 The stone hatchet replaces the knife. Every melee skin hits the same: two hits, no knockdown
• 🎯 Close-range rifle headshots buffed, and close-range pistol headshots buffed in Dissys and Facechecks
• 💉 FFA siphon: health or armour back and a full clip on every kill
• ⚡ Instant weapon switching. A combat roll cooldown in ranked
• 💨 Smokes pop the moment they land, and players fully behind smoke aren't drawn at all
• 🟦 Teammates get an outline and their name over their head, through walls
• 🔢 Hit numbers blue on armour, red on health, bigger for headshots
• 💃 Emotes stop when you aim, shoot or get hit, and can't be used in cars or while healing

🖥️ HUD & SETTINGS

• 🧩 New HUD editor (Esc > Settings > HUD layout): show / hide and resize anything, 6 health and armour styles with your own sizes and colours, separate Normal and Hop Outs layouts. /resethud resets it
• 🔊 Settings > Hit markers: attack and victim sounds with volumes, damage numbers multi colour, single colour or off
• ⌨️ The hotbar shows your real keybinds. The crosshair starts off: turn it on in Settings
• 🃏 Your calling card shows behind your name in the kill feed

💬 CHAT

• Cleaner and brighter with an outline, messages stay up 15 seconds, and scrolling back stays put
• @name mentions ping the player (handy for asking for clips), a tougher filter, and /clear

👥 LOBBY & STORE

• 🎁 Gifting: GIFT on any gun skin sends it to a friend (friends for 3+ days, 3 gifts a day)
• 📼 Past games: every kill in your matches is recorded and watchable, to check for cheaters
• 🧭 Easier menus: Back to Play, Esc steps back, and a More menu so no tab gets cut off
• 📨 Party invites slide in from the right, with sounds for invites and found matches
• 🏅 Rank badges next to names and on the VS screen. Calling card names in chrome, gold for VIP. Supporters' tickets get a priority badge
• 🛍️ The daily shop no longer shows things you own, and 🧤 Latex Gloves are in the pool
• 📈 XP buffed for kills, headshots and wins
• 🎉 Server-wide Double XP, Double Coins and Double SR events, with a notice when one starts

🔔 DISCORD

• New #🔔｜roles channel in our Discord: react to get pinged for changelogs and events like Double XP

⚙️ PERFORMANCE

• Zone walls draw far less, lower load while dead or spectating, and voice idles outside matches

🧪 All of this lands with the next server restart. If something breaks, DM the OCERZ bot to open a ticket
