shock hammer

The shock hammer is a melee weapon that deals damage, but can also be thrown at players, squads, or opponents at the point of impact.

After charging up a hit attack, players can launch others by releasing the main fire button while airborne. It can also be used to propel yourself and other players by holding down the main fire button when the hammer hits the ground. It’s like a shock grenade, but in a giant hammer.

you can place oath chests on your islands for players to randomly find a shock hammer.

scouting falcon

The scouting hawk it is a mechanical flying companion that can be used to mark opponents, open containers and take loot with it or drag it towards other players. However, this powerful tool has a drawback: players will be vulnerable while wielding it, so they will have to consider whether it is worth the risk.

guardian shield

A little extra defense never hurts. The guardian shield Deploys a protective barrier in front of the player that blocks damage, allowing them to take cover while moving. It can also be thrown to the ground to create a static defensive barrier. The shield is temporary, and will change color to indicate how much time is left until it is depleted.

Reset Van Generator

place the reset van generator on your islands so that players can revive eliminated members of their team. You can decide which teams or classes use the van and what happens when it reloads or when a group of players is reset.

The reset cards They are dropped by players upon being eliminated, but only if they have teammates who can pick them up. You will also need to place reset vans that can be used by the class or equipment of the eliminated players. In the My Island Settings tab there is a new option called Drop reset card when eliminated which will come activated by default as if it can restart. If you disable it, eliminated players will not drop reset cards.

New ball generator

We’ve focused on creating a new and improved ball generator that uses our modern physics system, and we’re happy to announce that it’s coming out in patch 23.20 along with other options and tweaks. You can, for example, directly modify the size of the ball, customize the maximum distance it can reach, and have it trigger events when players touch it.

With the release of the new ball generator, the old one will be renamed “(obsolete) ball generator”. Over time, we will end up deleting the old one.

Note: New ball generator information has been added to the device document for its old version. However, you will be able to find a link to the new sections in a note at the top of the page.

New models of wild animal variations

Added new visual variations for some of the animals in the Wild Animal Spawner. If you set the option Kind What Chicken, Wild pigeither Wolf You will see that the option also appears biome variation. These animals will look like Classic by default, but you can choose Medieval either Snow.

Enhanced Device Updates

HUD Messaging Device (Only on Optional Enhanced Devices):The HUD message device for islands that have been changed to upgraded devices has been redesigned and now has several new options:

• Placement: added a new option personalized A that shows an anchor point for the message and whose position will be offset from that anchor. When using custom offsets, keep in mind that other devices may have different screen sizes, so try to use the most appropriate anchor point.
• Layer (0-4): You can have multiple HUD messages on screen at once. Each layer can display a HUD message and its own message queue.
• Priority: sets the importance of the message. Messages are queued in order of priority, with priority 0 being the most important.
• Allow multiple messages in queue: Sets whether you can have multiple messages from the same device queued up to be displayed at the same time. Previously, this was the default behavior.
• Max Queue Time: If a message has been queued for display, this option sets how long it waits before it is removed from the queue. This is useful for messages that are only relevant close to the time they need to be displayed.
• Queue message for players joining a game in progress– This allows players to join the game after the messages have been sent.
• Reevaluate messages before showing: Messages are only shown to the players they are valid for when they are posted. If a player changes teams after the messages have been queued to be displayed, this option will check for invalid ones, so the device will not show them to them. For example, if there is a message to be shown to team 1 and a player switches to another team, this option will prevent that player from seeing messages addressed to team 1.
