    The upcoming 6.31 update will include a Pump Shotgun rebalance to improve effectiveness: damage will increase in close quarters and range will be reduced slightly. Additionally, ALL shotguns will have a minimum damage of 3 pellets (even if only 1 or 2 hit).

    Coming this week: small tweaks to shield availability, a reduction of mobility (item & vehicle spawn chance), and a few more vaults... including Quad Launcher.

    Ever since I was a kid, wished games would do one time events like we did today. It’s surreal to be able to create experiences like that for so many - hopefully this can be the start of something new and amazing.

    Just noticed today marks one year since work officially started on Battle Royale. Now, a couple days out from Season 5, it's unbelievable how much has happened since then.

    Regarding shotgun equip times: current thinking is to reduce Pump Shotgun equip time slightly in update 5.30 next week. Other shotguns will remain unchanged for now

    Ever place a wall that's mostly underground? We've got some improvements coming.

    Double Barrel effectiveness reduction is just one of the balance adjustments coming with #Season6. Less than 12 hours to go!

    Some adjustments to Mounted Turret coming in a hotfix: it will overheat a little faster and have a reduced headshot multiplier. 6.31 client update will adjust collision volume making it easier to hit players from the front.
