Deciblaster 
Bounce back with the Deciblaster! Build some tunnels, load up your Deciblaster, and prepare for action!

WEAPONS + ITEMS

• The Deciblaster bounces into the Weekly Store!
  • This shoots a blast of sound that pierces enemies and bounces up to 5 times, dealing damage in an area with each bounce. Does not consume ammo, but has low durability.
  • Available in the Weekly Store from Wednesday, September 18 at 8 PM ET until Wednesday, September 25 at 8 PM ET.

SOCIAL

  • In order to launch a mission, there must be only 4 active players in the party. 
  • Other party members must enter the Sit Out state through the Social Panel. This allows them to continue to participate in voice chat.

GENERAL

Bug Fixes

• Players with their reticle on stairs will no longer enter edit mode for an unintended building piece. 
  • In v10.30, we addressed an issue in which players would sometimes enter edit mode for a building piece that their reticle was not on. However, players may have still found themselves entering edit mode for a different building piece than intended if their reticle was on stairs. This has been resolved.
• Removed black borders on the iPad 2018 Pro.
