==Limited Time Mode: Team Rumble==
SummaryTwo large teams fight for the Victory Royale in an action-packed mode where the first team to get 100 eliminations wins!
Mode Details
*Two teams of 20 players.
*Players will respawn after 5 seconds when eliminated, keeping their inventory.
*Eliminated players spawn a random type of ammo upon elimination, as well as a random stack of either 120 Wood, 90 Stone, or 60 Metal materials.
*Only Uncommon weapons (or better) are available.
*The first team to 100 eliminations wins.
==Weapons + Items==
*New Epic and Legendary Pump Shotgun
**105 / 110 maximum damage
**Available from floor loot, chests, Supply Drops, and Vending Machines.
*Shotguns will now always apply at least 3 pellets worth of damage if only 1-2 pellets hit the target.
**NOTE: Bonus pellets can never be critical hits.
*Pump Shotgun maximum damage and fall-off changes.
**Pump Shotgun maximum damage increased from 80 / 85 to 95 / 100
***Pump shotguns will do higher damage in shorter range buckets but damage falls off quicker. This means you’ll do more damage to closer targets but less damage to farther targets.
*Added Stink Bombs to Supply Drops
*Removed Double Barrel Shotguns from floor loot
*Mounted Turret
**Adjusted Mounted Turret collision to make it easier to land shots against anyone occupying it.
**Removed the ability to repair the Mounted Turret
**Fixed players being able to clip into turret barrels and get stuck.
**Supply drops will automatically open if landing on a Mounted Turret
**Drop rate reduced from 1.719% to 0.915%
Bug Fixes
*The Mounted Turret can no longer fire through its own floor.
*Fixed an issue with players not having an audio cue while gliding after respawning.
*Fixed an issue with Chiller effects not applying properly to players’ feet.
==Gameplay==
*Reduced the in-air speed when using the Glider Redeploy feature in supported game modes.
*Added functionality that allows the placement of map markers in the world without needing to go into the fullscreen map.
**You’ll be able to look at a position in the world and use the “Place Marker” keybind to place a map marker. This command will only be available by default while in Combat Mode.
**This command is defaulted to Left on the D-pad for controllers and the Middle Mouse button for PC and Mac.
**For Mobile players, this command will be bound to an optional button in the HUD Layout Tool.
*Added the ability to pick up and throw back Dynamite with a lit fuse.
**To throw the Dynamite with a lit fuse, get near it and use the interact key.
Bug Fixes
*Increased the Dynamite explosion height against players from 192 units to 300 units.
**This was done to prevent players from being able to jump over the explosion area on flat ground without taking damage.
==Events==
*New Tournament: Alchemist Pop-Up Cup
**Pop-Up Cups are tournaments testing temporary, Limited Time Modes. Alchemist will continue our testing of several gameplay adjustments and may differ day to day.

**Significantly reduced the chance for Crafting Materials to appear as a mission reward, especially at higher difficulties.
**Made Epic and Legendary Perk-UP much more likely to appear at the top end of Twine Peaks by removing the chance of Uncommon and Rare Perk-UP.
