New Takedown Map: Simulation Anomaly

---

Battle Royale

• Added a “Last Man Standing” announcement which plays when you’re the only one alive on your team
• Added a new Point of Interest to Glacier
• Added invisible walls around the outer bounds of each biome to prevent flying out of bounds

Arena

• Added the ability to rejoin a match in progress after leaving or being disconnected
• Added and adjusted a number of portal walls on Bypass

Balance Changes

• (Aeros) Rush Ability -- Now also grants immunity from debuffs, such as stuns or slows, while the ability is active
• (Meridian) Phasma SMG -- Reduced the speed at which shots grow by 50% -- Reduced the maximum size of shots by 20% -- Dev Note: Because the Phasma is not a hitscan weapon, its projectiles grow as they travel. These changes make it slightly harder to hit shots at longer ranges without impacting the weapon’s performance at close-range or overall damage
