Changelog​

​

The most important features/modifications implemented towards this season's map and functions are the following.​

​

​

​

Last Man Standing Event​

We are delighted to announce that there will be a Last Man Standing event at KitPvP again.​

The event will start 2 hours before the release, which means the actual release will happen as soon as the Last Man Standing event has ended!​

​

What is LMS?​

Last Man Standing (LMS) is an event we always run before a KitPvP reset. It is essentially a free-for-all/Team Deathmatch-styled game, where all players are competing to be the last player remaining! Access to commands such as: /spawn, /shop, /pv will be disabled, meaning that you cannot leave the arena, or buy any extra loot. There will be a shrinking border, make sure to stay inside the area, or else you will take massive damage from the border itself. Survive till the end to get the rewards! Once you die, you're out of the event. Carry on watching until someone wins!​

​

How can I play? ​

Make sure to be online before this, as when the event starts you are not able to hop in afterwards.​

Make sure to have your loadouts ready in your inventory, grind your final sets because your inventory at the start is your final loadout.​

​

​

New! Map​

We’re excited to introduce the new KitPvP map!​

This in one of your favorite maps but with some new changes to make it even better, we will be bringing back our beloved Winter KitPvP Map!​

​

Gear up and fight in our new Winter KitPvP Map.​

Are you looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features.​

​

​

​

​

New! Daily Quests​

Get ready to take on 10 new challenges every day in KitPvP!​

The quests are unlocked at Level 15 and reset at 00:00 CET daily, giving everyone fresh goals to complete.​

The quests come in three levels of difficulty:​

Easy Quests​	Medium Quests​	Hard Quests​

Complete quests & earn rewards!​

You’ll see your quests in a colorful, easy-to-use menu that helps you track your progress, streaks, and rewards.​

Since the quests are the same for all players, it’s a fair and fun way to compete with friends!​

​

Complete quests daily.​

When you complete Daily Quests, you will build up your Daily Streak Bonus!​

Streak bonuses for completing quests on consecutive days. Each streak has a specific required amount of Quests to complete, and once you have reached that, you will be able to claim amazing bonus rewards.​

​

New! Bulk Key Opening​

We’ve added the ability to open multiple keys at once, making your crate opening experience much faster and more convenient!​

​

The higher your rank, the more keys you can open at the same time, with a maximum of 64 keys in a single bulk open.​

An animation will start playing showcasing which rewards you have won directly, rather than having an individual animation for each key.​

​

New! Levels​

We’re introducing a brand-new Levels System, replacing the old prestige system. ​

Players can now progress through 25 levels in total, creating a fresh and exciting way to measure progress.​

​

Here’s how it works:​

Start at 0! You now simply start at 0 experience, rather than having 1000 points where you can drop below.​

No farming newbies! No experience is earned for killing a player 7 or more levels below you, but you’ll gain points if they are 7 or more levels above you.​

Reduced EXP loss! The amount of points you lose has been reduced by half, making the system more forgiving.​

Replacement for points! Experience replaces points as the primary way to track progress.​

​

New! Duels Spectate​

We’ve added the ability to spectate ongoing duels with the /duel spectate <player> command! ​

​

This new feature lets you watch your teammates in action, whether they’re dominating the match or getting 5-potted.​

It’s a great way to support your friends, or to taunt them when they have lost against someone they'd say they could easily beat.​

​

New! Unique Crate​

Based on player feedback, we are re-introducing the Unique Crate and removing the Battle Crate. ​

​

We heard that most players preferred the older crate over the one focused on fighting. ​

The Unique Crate will be making its return, offering better rewards but with a slightly higher difficulty to obtain. ​

​

This change ensures a more rewarding experience while aligning with what players enjoyed most.​

​

New! Killstreak Messages​

Killstreak messages are back and now re-enabled for Omega players! ​

​

You can select and customize your killstreak messages through the /cosmetics menu. ​

Show off your streaks in style and make every elimination count!​

​

​

Updated! Killstreak Rewards​

Killstreak rewards have been completely overhauled! ​

​

You’ll now receive better rewards as you hit higher milestones, making your streaks even more exciting and worthwhile. Push your limits and climb to new heights for epic prizes!​

Updated! Kits​

​

We’ve made a small but important change to how kits work! ​

Now, when you claim a kit, it will no longer overwrite the armor you’re wearing, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally losing your equipped gear.​

​

​

Updated! KOTHs​

We’ve made some exciting changes to KOTHs to bring more action and excitement!​

​

Better loot for capturing.​

The KOTH loot has been buffed, and all useless items have been removed from the loot table, ensuring more valuable rewards for participants.​

​

KOTH Starters return.​

In addition, KOTH starters are now more readily available to collect again, making it easier for players to initiate KOTH events and keep the competition alive.​

​

A cooldown for a starter.​

However, to prevent spam starting of KOTHs, a 15-minute global cooldown has been added to KOTH starters. ​

This ensures a fair and balanced experience for all players. Get ready for more strategic and rewarding KOTH battles!​

​

​

​

Fixed! Bugs​

​

We’ve put in a lot of work to polish and fix as many bugs as possible on the KitPvP server.​

We carefully reviewed all reported issues and successfully fixed them.​

​

​
