History

## **History of the Game**

Welcome to the history section of this game. On this page we as a community are trying our best to preserve the history of the game's timeline during Development, Alpha/Beta testing, Release, and Present day. This page will also house major changes, added items, map changes, or major meta's during the time of an update. This page must be taken seriously because we are keeping history of the game here for future players to view.

#### **Development**

On April 23, 2021 The Friends vs Friends game was announce on YouTube on the Brainwash Propaganda video shown during the timeframe of 4:13 where we see the first ever official trailer originally called Friends killing Friends. This version of the game was v0.1.1 and four days later was v0.1.3 which fix loading, performance, Card changes, and fixing Crashing on match start for some devices. Some gameplay footage here.

On May 15, 2021 The next version of the game version v0.1.4 added twelve new cards which are Turret, Titan, Bombs, AK, Slow speed. During the time of v0.1.4 a user on Discord named "Owl" would claim the highest win streak of ~500. Most of the art at that time was made by edU Verz and Ivan Papiol And the music made by Beícoli. During the time of v0.1.4 controller mapping was being implemented. The art that is shown in the gallery during the time was 3 years old and during July 27th there was going to be an update which changes the visual and three days later on the Brainwash Gang Twitter page they reviled the more Modern Rooftop. During the time of visual revamp you where still able to gain access to the game but unable to find player to fight against. Then once 2022 has arrived on January 29th the next Alpha Release was available in version 0.1.5. You used to still play the old version of the game pre visual update for free but is currently locked behind a password and won't be getting updates. Then on August 23rd the official steam page was reviled to the public and we lost the FKF page.

#### **Beta**

During the time of when the Modern Rooftop was announce there was some cards removed and some characters removed one of these characters was Stevie Gull to rework the passive. During this time as well funds where trying to be secured to give the game more regular updates. During the times of when funds where being secured the second map was being worked on which will become Subway. One of the main events that was hosted was during Gamescom 2022 which receive positive feed back. There was also a convention stand in Pax West during 2022 which you could play a very early version of the demo before it became public

The picture shown on the left is the one of the stand located in Pax West 2022 where you could be able to play the early version of the Beta. Which provides a 1v1 Lan style party where you could play 1 to 2 matches before switching out. During the event there where cards that where given out to those that part took in the visit

Some images from Pax West

There was plans on going to Pax East later down in the future. During this time people in the Discord group where asking why the name was change from Friends killing Friends to Friends vs Friends. Ivan Papiol responded stating "we decided to change it, partly because killing is a blacklisted word in a lot of platforms and also because if you googled the old name, a lot of USA headlines of you-know-what-topic popped up friends can't be k wording each other on the internet. I liked the name a lot more but it had to go" - September 21, 2022 Via Discord Post. On October 3rd the official Test Build was release to the public. During this time Ex-Rainbow 6 player Gabriel Billordo Rained terror on the public test build racking up near 200 win streaks on average. Billordo was such a good player that even the developers couldn't beat him and started suggesting 4v1s to win against him. Some Q&A where happening as well during the same date where edU Verz states "There are going to be card packs but not on sale Which means that there arent going to be microtransactions or anything related with being aggresive in terms on progression or the whole game" Via Discord message. Also once the Build was released controller mapping was introduce which had some problems at the start with controller sensitivity but gets fix later on. Then the next day on the 4th the test build was taken down to input all the bug fixes and brought the game right back up because of demand. Most feed back from the community was very positive some claiming that they would end up playing for hours with out knowing it. When the update was introduce performance was taking a blow some of the developers suggested to turn down internal resolution for the time being so players could keep playing. Some community members during the test build where playing on steam deck with 80% internal resolution scaling which gotten 60 Frames per second and at max 30 to 35 Frames per second. But there was some problems with Steam deck unique bugs which the developers managed to get rid of. During the time of the build some players where using heartless as a meta because of it's lack of player knowledge of players only shooting the player and using Duck Anderson at the same time to last longer with heartless. As a response from the developers Heartless was changed from doing 1hp per second to 4hp per second because of people combing it with nuke to become invincible until the heart dies. Some players where suggesting that heartless should make a heart beat sound since the heart didn't provide any sounds. October 10 would be the last day for the first test build with the community feed back this allowed developers to make major changes to some cards where some where some damage on weapons where doing 160 damage on head shot to fixing broken combos. At 8pm CEST / 11am PST the test build was taken down and telling people to update to v0.2.0. During October 14th on DreanHack's twitter page they showcase the game in a tweet telling people that there was a new version of the game v0.2.0 which will last up until the 23rd which is when the second test build was release.

#### Second Test Build

When the second test build was release to the public some players managed to get out of bounds providing an over view of the map Rooftop in the image provided above. During the background the developers where taking suggestion one of these where aftermath screens which would be implemented later on. Some users suggested in-game communication but the developers refuse to input it in because they believe that it would lead to toxicity. Some artistic users ask if they could use some of the character refs which the developers provided with this image of the layouts and reference sheet of the animated character in the games new trailer. They also provided some of the background work as well in a google file located here.

During the time of the second build there was a meta being developed around titan where if you play the titan card and shrink back down the card would provide a full heal. Players saw this and used this to there advantage since players could combo with titan, medkit, and Duck Andersons Green Herb Providing three sources of healing. (Note Old Medkit and Green herb use to heal only 40 HP). During the time there was some feed back on map geometry where some location locked players or players would find troubling just to get up on which would take multiple jumps just to get across something. The developers taken notes of it and ended up fixing the geometry making jumps a lot easier to get across. Also poison bullets during the second build where really strong where the poison bullet would hit for 3 per tick which would be combo with smg since the clip size of the smg was originally 40 dps. There was a Bug with Punch-R where it did zero damage to the heart making it useless.

During the time of the second test build on October 20 the community on the discord where asking if there would be player progression or a season pass which edU Verz responded "Yeah, so we will have some kind of level system, like a free season pass and you unlock card packs to get new ones or improve the ones that you alredy have. So it's similar to a Pokedex You discover the cards playing against others and you can get then upleveling and you unlock characters with the leveling system too." The season pass which will later become Baba's Laundromat. After the test build was closed on the 25th before the next Beta was introduce some of the developers tease 2v2 matches in the discord group and someone called them out on it and quickly hid the status to avoid spoilers. There was multiple streams before the second beta was release one was announce on November 10 2022 on the RAW FURY twitch account.

#### **Game Creation**

During one of the discussions in a Discord post edU Vers States "Actually this game was an accident" - October 20 2022 Via Discord where during there internal breaks mostly during lunchtime they would actually play the FKF 0.1.0 version of the game and showed off the early alpha trailer to the community stating that they basically knew nothing about 3D game and made the game just to know how to use a 3d space. There though process was "We just though about releasing all the stuff in our fridge like check what the people like the most."

#### **Second Beta**

On December 8th there was an announcement on the Friends Vs Friends Steam page that there was going to be a Christmas theme Beta v0.21.9 through the 9th and 16th The announcement also added the Subway map and teasing with some images before release. This beta also introduce character levels (Card leveling). When the Beta was release there was some serious performance issues where if players got to close to another player there fps would drop sharply. There also was a Bug with Invisible hand where the cards wouldn't hide if played to fast. During this time players where still trying to figure out on what Card leveling actually did some players though they did nothing other though that they changed the card minorly some where wrong others where right. Pack cards where introduce to the game during the second beta to test out the feel. Packs would give out a total of 5 cards and there would be two types of packs Gold and Basic if the player owned a copy of the card normal refunds of the card would be around enough to get another basic pack or gold pack if generated enough cash. There where also some weapon improvements where weapon damage across all weapons gotten a huge damage boost where to give an example one shotgun pellet to the head would deal a total of 23 damage. players also notice that disabling Blood improved performance during the beta and later would be fix.

This image to the right of this text is one of the few images that we gotten from the Christmas 2022 Beta. This was originally a video showing off that playing two nukes at once would end the match in a Tie. There was also a promotional for #screenshotsaturday on twitter providing a clip of some gameplay provided by Brainwash Gang here. While the time of the demo was playing players managed to find a way to get outside of Subway by using wall on the escalator or double jumping off the escalators onto the beams in the celling allowing them to escape the map.

This known glitch was later patch out because of out of bounds but would be found later on by using a shotgun or Laika with Steel bullet to clip through thin walls allowing the other person to clip or get stuck in the walls. there where also other ways to clip out of the map where if you time your jump properly while the train was moving you would clip outside of the tunnel but this method would later get patched with a kill barrier.

There was a known performance bug where by playing a card randomly there would be an instance where if a card was played it would freeze your game for a second and proceeds to fling your perspective around. This bug might of only been on lower end users because of players with more higher end computers would not of experience this issues. There was a very rare bug which was documented at the time where if a player played a swap weapon card and a the other player plays a weapon card right when the weapons are swap there would be a chance to recreate this bug. This bug is the only known case that happened during the beta and was either to hard to replicate or couldn't be replicated. There was also a bug with mimic cards where if two mimic cards where played and lasted until the end of the round the mimic cards would carry over to the next round.

There would be another announcement on the Friends vs Friends official twitter page wishing everyone a Happy Christmas with this post. During December 30th PCgamer made a post on there page talking about the game providing the game publicity. During the down time of the beta and open beta where the twitter account posted this post where every 10 heart big head would be apply to one character.

#### **Valentine Beta**

On February 2, 2023 there was an announcement on the twitter page saying that there will be a free demo on the 13th - 26th which introduce 2v2 mode, Theater and Truck, Haru, 5 new cards and love letter. There was also a tournament announce when the demo linked with a twitter post with Spanish streamers. During the Valentines Beta there was a Bug where some players would get region locked out of there region which wouldn't revert even after selecting a different this was immediately fix the next day. There was a bug introduce with the new 2v2 mode and is still present till this day where in some cases you would be paired with a 3v1 instead of 2v2. Also the nuke card has been updated which added the simulation to the game when you played 3 nukes. February 14 introduce v0.25.9 where it would fix the region locking, Screen shake, Sniper UI bug, Controller mapping, and removed the Boira 9 and added the Golden Boira 9. The next day there was another challenge on the twitter page where every heart they get they add a pigeon to the game in this post plus v0.25.11 which fix the unbalance 3v1, fix region swapping after games, Double jump would disappear on nuke transition when playing with bots, Smoke bomb turns green after a few seconds, nerf Haru, buff DJ and Lars, increase flash bomb radius, increase explosive damage, more accuracy increased, update pigeons animation, improve shaders, reduced blood impact to get increase performance. the next day after the post on the twitter page receive 3047 heart which resulted in this post also introducing Pigeon king to the rooftop map. This also introduce v0.25.12 which fixed Subway clipping when you crouch jump on the moving train, titan being stuck in a certain spawn on the nuke map, Heartless heart became not a solid object, infinite wait time in quick play, Rooftop Sound bug, Footsteps Volume wasn't working on crouching or ninja log, Heartless card didn't disappear after killing a player, leaving when map voting resulting in a hard lock, heartless beeping remained after death, Explosions didn't show feedback, fix model of Donnie B. Changes that was added to the game changed mapping input for controllers, Crosshair hides on death & spectator, Pery Big Pigeon on the rooftop.

During the 17th IGN made a post on there twitter account talking about the game during the FanFest of 2023 here. On February 19 there was an first Un-official 1v1 community tournament that was posted in the Friends Vs Friends Discord server that was made by user "Koutu" the developer taken notice and ask if the tournament could be stream in response the user said yes. The tournament had a total of 16 participants and the prizes where a copy of the game when release plus cash prize pool. The winner of the tournament was user fuji winning both the copy and prize. during the time of when the community tournament was happening on the same day the team of developers where working on the Fandom wiki which you are reading right now. One of the developer Pinnit4 in a discord post told the community on how the Vampire bullet works which runs in this order Calculate the damage of weapon plus damage buff, then send the takedamage call and receive the actual damage dealt, finally apply the health regen buff. They also state that the heal rate is percentage based on the damage that was cause to the other player. There is a "bug" in the game where if you kill a player while still big as titan it would result in a titan kraken which the developers of the game where deciding on leaving it in the game or not. When the Beta officially ended there was a secret Closed Beta for those that was in the discord community for one more day. Once the beta ended there was a post on twitter where it showed specific data on what the community did during the time of the demo here.

#### Downtime between the Release

During the down time of the demo on March 12 Smii7y Uploaded this video which helped the game's publicity which boosted the Wishlist count on steam as a result during the Spring Sales of 2023 on Steam Friends Vs Friends was Placed in the top 3 of coming soon which also boosted Wish listing of the game. There also was an AMA on the steam discussion page in the community tag of this post during March 27th. on May 2nd the Twitter page made this post leaking parts of the hub and if people guest it right more leaks would of been posted, There where more leaks to the game mostly hub related and skin design on the twitter page. then on May 11 the official release date was posted on twitter saying that the game would come out on May 30th with a 40% discount. Along side with the release date shown off there was a stream located on the steam page where it show off Future cards which will be part of the Little Lars update and the Myk Update which where Phantom Bullets, Card thief, Painkiller, Ninja smoke, Akimbo, Slow Reload, Bigger Explosion, Berserker, Thick skin, Extra Cards, Bomb lover, Quick Reload, Predator Vision, Bouncy Wall, Clown Shoes, Hot potato, Disarm, Barbed Cards, Silent Steps, and Curse. On the 16th the Hub was officially shown off on the steam announcement page with along side the Card shop was shown off on the twitter page on this post on the 19th there was a post made where development matchmaking was being improved on where the you would pair you with similar skill level when fighting player in quick match. On the 20th Development was on edge since the developer where not having much hope of the game's launch with really low expectation and being nervous. On the 22nd RAW FURY associate LiVam posted in the discord official avatars icons for people to use in this steam post. The next day there was a key give away going on at RAW FURY located on the Alienware web page where players could collect a total of 250 keys to play the game early. During the time of the release there was a close beta that was happening to gather more information about bugs and allow people to progress in the beta and add it to the main game but with limited level of a level cap at 15 which restricted the use of Sable and Haru.

Within the next 24 hours there was a post on the twitter page with this post stating every heart they would add a new layer of the burger located in the hub. With one last post before the game release there was an announcement posted here telling user that there is one last chance to play the closed beta before launch from May 25th to May 29th with limited spots. which as a result people rush in to gain access of the closed beta which spot quickly filled.

On the May 24th the Friends vs Friends Wiki officially became public to all users. Which will allow users to gain access to important details about the game. With some minor tweaking to the wiki from users input the wiki eventually became what you are seeing right now. When the close Beta was live the hub had some very limited selection where some cards and skins where locked behind level restriction but the only one that wasn't at the time was the Palprize machine which only gave keychains, card backs, and icons. The Palprize at the time cost a total of three red coins to use the machine but would later on get change to costing two red coins. Players also notice that there was a quest system in place when going over to Nancy realizing on how to gain red coins where most players quickly grinned to get the most red coins as possible and share what type of prizes they gotten from the machine.

The Meta during the close beta was playing Myk because of the smg getting buff at the time where the smg was capable of doing 6 damage on the body and 8 damage towards a headshot. Plus the accuracy of the smg was to tight where the smg would "laser" people across the map. There also was the smg's fire rate where it was firing to way to fast at a rate of 6 bullets per second with a clip of 40 rounds. The meta was quickly shut down because of massive feed back complain on Myk smg being to strong to start with every round.

Once the fix was release to the public for the Brasshopper there was now a loading error where players couldn't load into the game and get stuck in the loading section of the game. This also was quickly fixed with a small update and with one reset later players where able to get back into the game. There was a known bug in the game where if you place a wall or turret on the pass way in subway right where the train stops the item that was place above the train would latch onto the train and take the place item with it causing this to happen link. This bug was fix in the next update in the game where the collision of the floor was to low causing the item place to follow the train. There was some Linux problems when running through proton but this but would later be fix. For those that register through the Alienware giveaway where able to gain achievements early compare to those that register through steam this was because the Alienware giveaway actually gave the game but had a time limit where it would be timed with the beta but you where still able to get the achievement which leaked some of the achievement early which gave players an idea on what achievements people where able to get. There was a feature that was visually bugged where Discovering cards would not Discover properly where it would stay invisible but was quickly fixed. Tree's used to sound like metal they where not real but sound was fix once the game was release.

Pery Big Pigeon was sadly removed on 26th ending there visit but was told Pery might return in future updates. The truck map a the time had some very poor geometry issues where the cars in the middle would randomly kill players due to poor geometry layouts this would be fix later on before release. Key Binding was also introduce during the time when Pery was removed. On the 27th there was going to be a second wave for the beta access at 11:00 CEST. On the same day at 1:50 PM EST there was an announcement from RAW FURY LiVam was going to stream with RAW FURY NULL in 2v2s and challenging players to beat them though there twitch account. There was also multiple complains about rage quitters leaving mid game to preserve there win streak in this stage of the game there wasn't any punishment system in place but the developers promises that there will be one implemented once the game is release but they where still verifying on how to get the system to work properly to avoid improper use of punishments.

Later down that day players managed to figure out how to get a more accurate reading of there own player stats by looking at there own player.log through the file managed by looking up there totalmatches to locate the lifetimevictories stat as well as lifetimedefeats and calculated to figure out players wins and lost ratio (We do not advice you to be messing around with the player logs they are very critical files to the game and house important details for your account.).

Once The Myk meta people started to discover that all explosive throwable where very strong and people started to use little lars since it allowed room for error for back blast of the bombs also people started to figure out that you could shoot the bomb allowing it to explode early or point blank this a a result created the early version of the bomb meta which was in it's early days but later dominate the entire game up until the Little lars update rolls around. As a result majority of player ended up not playing the rest of the time of the beta up until the release of the game or until the bomb meta was entirely fix because of the bomb's damage capable of either one shot people or lowering there HP to a total of 15 or less hp. Most players at the time used Bomb belt which always gave 3 bomb at the time because of the bomb blast radius being to big and dealing way to much damage which gave players easy and effortless victories. But as said before the meta would last through to the release.

Also player some how managed to figure out where character go when you select them by camera clipping out side of the hub and being able to see the character selected in the void.

For this Glitch to happen player used the punch-r to displace the camera by shooting themselves causing the camera to slightly displace itself from the player. Over time the camera would slowly grow farther and farther away from your character and become displayed to the point where you can view things outside of the hub, This result in players locating areas of the map that wasn't suppose to be seen where developers hid the character that they picked.

### The May 28 Leak

On May 28th of 2023 two day before the release of the game there was a user that was posting leak content in the Discord. The first leak image was of Spike leak Alt skin Schoolcat Rif and users passed it off as a concept but some grew suspicious on how the leaker managed to get the image. Then a second image was posted of Spike second alt skin Purrnk. Users quickly began to question the images of these pictures because only one image of Spikes Alt skin was ever shown an that was Schoolcat Rif. Then the Leaker uploaded Little lars' Valentines Alt skin Arctic Sweetheart, Then Stevie Gulls alt skin Plant Whisperer, then Moose Salto Alt Skin Five Bucks skin For Christmas of 2023, Afterwards Leaked Baba's Laundromat, the light up version of Snowed Rooftop while flying around one of the major ones was the leak of all the skins which will not be posted for spoiler reasons. The Developers respond to this with a swift ban to prevent anymore leaking from the user.

## The Release

On May 30, 2023 at 9:30 EST The Friends Vs Friends game was release and reached a total player count at the start of ~2,000 concurrent player playing at once and crashed the servers of the game. At this point the players where overwhelming the servers to the point where it took 3 hours because of server overload from mass player trying to log on and queue up immediately. As a result there was mass negative reviews causing the gaming to go into the Mixed Review and later going up into the positive section once the servers came back online. As a result of the Downing of the server player count drastically drop over 1,000 players due to the crash and either refunded the game or stop playing the game all together.

The next day there was a patch where Reporting cheaters was added and changed progression speed due to the slow progression of the overall game and made the matchmaking Level based on player level since players where fighting other players that where either level 50 or level 1 when queue for a match.

### Little lars Update

we are going to skip a few day of the game launch and make our way to the first major update of the Game which was the little lars update which was release on June 13th where new cards where added 5 new cards which are Thick skin, Bomb Lover, Phantom Bullets, Predator vision, and Bigger Explosion. Little lars the character also gotten lore added to the game with this video plus one new skin. Cause of this update this made bomb more viable which made the community think that bombs where getting too overpowered. As a result later down in a few updates they reduce the bomb damage, and Blast radius as a result of the added cards and responds to the update this also includes a nerf along side with the bomb nerf with lars where they reduce lars passive explosive damage resistance from 90% to 60%.

### Myk Raver Update

The next major update was the Myk Raver update which was released on July 6. This update introduce 5 new cards Lottery ticket, Extra card, and Card profaner, Hot potato, and Card Thief. There was also the new addition of Island added to the map pool plus a new Myk Raver Skin plus new lore on Myk Ravers backstory

### Baba's Laundromat Update

On July 18 the Laundromat update was added the first free content expansion. which added 5 new skins, 10 new cards and 15 cosmetics, a New Quest system which add all the cosmetics and skins into this progression based quest system given at the Laundromat, plus a new song in the jukebox. The 10 new cards that where added where Slow reload, Quick Reload, Silent Step, Akimbo, Disarm, Bouncy wall, Clown Shoes, Ninja smoke, Berserker, and Painkiller. There was much more changes that happen here located on this post.

### Rank update

On August 29 There was a new update where a rank system was added to the game where now there is a separate system to show a skill based where depending on what rank you are in you could be fighting people who are +/- 2 rank levels above or below you. the Rank system has 6 Ranks which are Newcomer, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Champion, and BFF. Once you hit Rank Gold or higher you will start to lose more rank point if you don't play as often or lose matches against players. In silver or Below you won't be losing as much ranked point compare to Gold or higher.

Each Rank in this system contains 3 Tiers where 1 star is the lowest tier and while ranking up will progress to 2 stars then 3 stars then finally you move onto the next ranked. The only rank that does not contain a 3 tier is BFF where BFF only contains one tier.

### Wired Wreck update

As if this point we are currently at modern time where there is a new update that will come out containing 1 new character, 1 new map which is Gas Station. KlustR Jr. is the new character that will be introduce during the Wired Wreck update along side with 2 new skins for KlustR Jr. There will also be an introduction of more skins for current characters that are available. There is also an introduction of new cards where a Turtle Teleport was shown off in the Trailer for the Wired Wreck update as well as a new area in the hub. Raccos Workshop was introduce to the Hub as well in the trailer but only for a short time showing off the robot and what the inside of the workshop would look like. All of the new skins will be introduce in the first expansion during October of 2023. To watch the trailer of the update here is the video link.

As of September 27, 2023 the new meta has changed where now most player are playing as Stevie gull because of the Starting weapon Golden Boira. Stevie Gull is containing about 25% of the major player base a the time because of the significant advantage the Golden Boira. Then 25% of the player base either play Moose or Haru because of mobility advantage. The bomb meta still lingers around but due to the nerf of the explosions has seen a drastic reduction of explosive usage. Along side of September 27th there was a recent balance change towards cards in this post.

On October 10th, 2023 the Wired Wreck Update was release and KlustR Jr. was release along side of 5 new cards which are Dr. Molebot, Warp room, Teleport bomb, Pyromania, and Frozen gun. Plus there was the inclusion of the first DLC which includes a new reward system when talking to Racco with new challenges which gives 5 new skins and 10 new back cards in this post.

### The Short KlustR Meta

During the release of KlustR there was a 1 day meta before changes where applied to change the KlustR meta where the mini turrets where to strong as most players complained about the difficulty when fighting against KlustR. The turret used to be 4 shots before destroying the mini turret the fire rate was similar to the main ca-turret speed, The range was similar to ca-turret, Damage was 4 to opponents. Now KlustR starts with two mini turrets and the main ca-turret does 6 damage where the two mini turrets do 4 and placing both down can deal 8 damage together and taking 4 shots to disable or destroy the turret. For 2v2 matches most if not all matches where just fighting against KlustR players where both teams would only place mini turrets in very open areas or areas which covers the most amount of space preventing the other team from moving out of there spawn or restricting to much of there movement. In 1v1 is a different story where players that play KlustR would win most if not all of there matches because of wide turret placement or very close turrets from far away where the opponent has to deal with the turret first before fighting the other opponent where at that point distance was being close between players which allows the KlustR player to push there opponents out of hiding and into there turrets line of sign. During the next day after the release of the update there was major changes to KlustR turrets in this post.

### First Halloween Event

On October 24, 2023 the first official Halloween update was introduce which included multiple holiday changes. Including 1 new skin for Spike, 1 new card which is Ba-turret, 3 new card backgrounds and 3 new keychains. There also was a Variety of fixes introduce to place able items in this post. Also along side this update at 1:15 pm there was another tournament Announced with the introduction of one of the prizes being a "Spooky" poster provided by the Art team Including copies of the Deluxe edition of the game to both winners of winners and loser bracket.

### Halloween Event ending

On November 21, 2023 came to the end of the First Halloween event in the game and reverted back to the original hub. The update included 1 new sable skin, 1 new carded which is called the electric fences where the card give you two electric poles where you place one pole down and place the other pole down in a different location but not to far from it then the Electric fence becomes active. Players have found out that card profaner combine with the electric poles can give you two extra pole where you can place down 4 poles instead of 2 pole where it can allow players to block off major points off. 3 new key chains, new avatar icons for each character.

### Advent Calendar 2023

During the time when the Halloween event ended in the Brainwash gang server user named Koutu the official tournament organizer or event organizer (we're not sure) had though of an idea and started the Pery's the Pigeon community challenges where the challenges will take place in December for the members of the community to part take in. (more detail will provided later down)

### Christmas event 2023

On December 19th the release of the second time of the snow maps where brought back in with the inclusion of skins for all characters to have Christmas skins and one new card which is a present card where the only way to get the present card is through another player once they played the present card.
