• Factory Reconstruction: The iconic Factory site in Bermuda is receiving a major facelift with a new “Stadium” design that gives the area a modern, sporty look and is expected to be part of a major upcoming themed event.
• A124 Character Rework: A124 will receive a large rebalance, with her active skill only now countering enemies’ active skills; she will no longer be able to counter old passive skills as well, which could create different competitive standings!
• Nearby Search Feature: There is a new social feature that allows users to search and add friends based on their real-world location. This feature also allows users to set their own privacy settings in the settings section.
