== What's New? ==
Party Hub Hang with friends while you’re on the go so the party never stops. See who's online, party up, and play together. (Or just voice chat!) For a deeper dive on Party Hub, read our FAQ here.
== Weapons + Items ==
* Batman Grapnel Gun
** Available in Mythic variant.
** Found from Floor Loot, Chests, Supply Drops, and Llamas.
** The Batman Grapnel Gun comes with 10 charges. A charge is consumed each time the player is launched.
** When the grappling hook from the Batman Grapnel Gun impacts something in the environment, the owner will be launched in a flat arc towards the point of impact. 
** At the apex of the launch, the player will deploy the Bat Cape, which can be used like any other Glider to traverse great distances.
* Explosive Batarang
** Available in Mythic variant.
** Found from Floor Loot, Chests, Supply Drops, and Llamas.
** Drops in stacks of 5.
** Max stack size is 10.
** This consumable item is thrown out in a relatively flat arc. It will home in towards opponents.  
** The projectile explodes when in close proximity to an opponent.
*** Explosion damage:
**** 50 damage to players.
**** 200 damage to the environment.
** If the Explosive Batarang impacts the environment, it will stick to the spot where it lands. At that point, it behaves as a proximity mine, exploding when opponents come too close to it.
*** An Explosive Batarang that has impacted the environment can be disarmed and picked up by both the player who threw it or their allies.
Bug Fixes
* Resolved an issue involving the Star Wand and AC/DC Pickaxes not doing the intended amount of damage.
** Because this issue has been resolved, these Pickaxes have been re-enabled.

** This POI gives players unlimited Glider Redeploy. Just like a real Super Hero, you won’t need to be afraid of heights!

* Final Storm Circles will no longer occur at the following locations (in core and Arena modes):

==General==
Bug Fixes
* Players with their reticle on stairs will no longer enter edit mode for an unintended building piece. 
** In v10.30, we addressed an issue in which players would sometimes enter edit mode for a building piece that their reticle was not on. However, players may have still found themselves entering edit mode for a different building piece than intended if their reticle was on stairs. This has been resolved.
* Removed black borders on the iPad 2018 Pro.
