New Mapping Competition Underway

It's time for another mapping competition! Unlike the powersuit challenge
from before, the goal is to make a map tailored to be tackled by Ultraclass vehicles in Freelance mode. The theme is Grave to the Rave bonus points for those who appeal to the theme visually: maybe yourmap has something to do with Corvids fooling around with glowsticks in
Nazare Necropolis or spooky cemeteries drenched in neon. Maps mustfeature at least one map exit and must feature some kind of enemy
resistance, and while a Freelance map can be completed with any vehicle,
be warned that these maps with have what we're calling an "ultra spawn
multiplier" applied, which means that there will be roughly double theusual enemy spawns, thus the emphasis on Ultra-class vehicles.
Map makers have until 23:59 Paci c Time on Thursday September 30th
2021 to submit their nal map to the #grave-to-the-rave-submissions
channel over on our Discord. Entrants will be judged by the Stellar Jockeys
team and winners will be awarded 500 USD for their contribution as well

as being added to the game credits. Anyone can submit a map but quality
is stressed over quantity, so we strongly recommend #maps-andmodding for discussion and WIP feedback.
Two major things to note to help you out:
The modkit DLC on Steam/GOG/our site is not currently up to datewith the current version of the game - please use this temporary linkinstead to get the required modkit tools.
Here is a beginner's kit to help you get started on your own
Freelance map
Don't forget that we also have documentation on how to make maps
(check out section 6 speci cally) with Tiled.
Lastly if you're not sure about how to make maps, come and chat with ourmodding community on our Discord server, who will happily help you getstarted and give feedback on your maps.

Brigador Achievements Finally Nerfed

We recently issued a hot x for our rst game to address problems withthe new achievements that came with the Blood Anniversary Update. Fulldetails can be read in the patch notes here, but the main thing is that theNot One Stone achievement that we've received a lot of feedback over theyears has been taken down a peg. If you were having problems getting it
before, the process should now be much less arduous.

Community Spotlight
It's been long enough since the heavy hitters have been featured, so
here's Flyingdebris with "The Hunt for James" (click to see full sizeversion). Can you list all the references?

...Zi has delivered a double whammy of both a new iteration of Prism-kun(click to see full size version) *with* a bespoke lore entry...

“Prism-kun”
Light Mechanized Vidstar Platform
Hardpoints: 1x Heavy, 4x Micro
Supple synthetic skin, the best hair a vat can produce, bleeding edge
multi-micro-camera optics, and more facial muscles than the originalhuman body for that extra sadistic expression.
I want to say the braincase is for a real brain, but I feel like if that werea thing, we’d be seeing way more insane mannequins piloted bycephaloids. Probably just no expense spared for these physical models
of beloved synchstars.
Looks light on its feet (if you can call them that) due to the agrav leg
setup. In reality, these models are just about as armed as a Sledger.
Drops any signi cant semblance of armor for the sake of a compact
high-rating power plant. Shielding ends up fantastic, holds up to morethan you’d expect for someone so small.
Arm-mounted HF blades and caseless submachine guns come baked
in standard, but the heavy mount is clearly modular considering thevariety of footage involving unruly worshippers getting pasted by somany di erent weapon types. Nothing quite like seeing someone getashed with a healthy dose of radiation.
Oh, and the skirt’s a heat sink for the heavy. Naturally.
Do I like it? The hell do you think?

p.s. Annotations aren't mine. Neat, though.

...Brad Buckmaster (check out their Twitter) imagined a future where theSNC's Brigador Heroes kids show takes o and even gets its own spin-o ...

...and Captain XXVII over on YouTube very much enjoyed the recent
updates to the game.

Want more? Plenty more available to browse through in the #becks_best
