ACCOLADE XP CALIBRATION
Prepare to tell your players the exciting news, Creators. The XP Beyond Battle Royale experience is being improved! You are aware that before they start awarding Battle Pass XP from your in-game Accolades, Creative Experiences go through a “calibration” process. With version 19.20, players who initiated an Accolade prior to its calibration will now be rewarded with XP after the Experience has been calibrated!
Additionally, Creators will receive email notification on the Experience’s calibration progress.
REQUIREMENTS
When Creative Experiences pass calibration, players who previously took part in them while they were undergoing calibration within the preceding 30 days may be granted XP retroactively.
NATURAL FORCES – FIRE
New Fire items:
- Primal Flame Bow
- Flare Gun
- Fireflies
- Gas Can
NEW: GAS FOR VEHICLES
To beat that time trial, race around the racetrack quickly, but don’t forget to refuel! Creators may now incorporate Gas Cans and have them fuel the vehicles in their islands if they truly want to spice up the automobiles in their maps.
SKYDIVE VOLUME
If you’ve participated in any of our prior musical events, you may have felt the affects of the Skydive volume, but now everyone may use this tool to launch players into the air! As you explore with all the interesting capabilities of this new technology, build air elevators, wind tunnels, and more.
CHANNEL NUMBER TEXT ENTRY
You can now directly type in Channel numbers when configuring transmitters and receivers on all devices, which is a little but significant change. With virtual keyboard functionality available on all devices, console players can also profit.
SENTRY DEVICE UPDATE
The most recent item to go from a trap device to a prop is the Sentry.
Sentries have had a ton of new features added to the new version, including the ability to join teams, a whole new Idle > Alert > Hostile system, and a ton of different transmitters and receivers. Enjoy!
