BattleBit Remastered 1.8.1 Patch Notes – July 17, 2023
- Party Codes:
- Players can now join parties without adding each other as Steam Friends.
- Report Player Shortcut:
- Left Shift + F1/2/3/4, etc. brings up the report menu for the respective player, without accessing the scoreboard.
- Stat-Sync Protection:
- Fixed a rare case where a player’s progress would reset if they joined a game server while the player stats servers were being updated.
- The game server will now prevent players from joining if it fails to fetch their stats to avoid joining with level 0 progress.
- The backend will no longer save stats of a player if their rank is lower than it was before to prevent intentional progress resets.
- Objective Capture Zones:
- Reduced the size of capture areas to provide a tighter and more consistent attack-defend dynamic.
- Capture areas were adjusted to match the in-game result and prevent areas from being too large.
- Improved user experience in CONQ and FRONTLINE game modes, making it easier to defend objectives and spawn on them until the enemy enters the capture zone.
- Placed Gadget Persistence:
- Limited the number of C4s, mines, claymores, and ammo kits that players can place simultaneously.
- C4s will be destroyed when a player dies, allowing a maximum of 6 to be placed.
- Claymores and mines will not be destroyed upon player death, with a maximum of 4 allowed at a time.
- Domination Ticket System:
- Reviving players will no longer return tickets.
- Map and Level Changes:
- Eduardovo – CONQ 32v32 received a unique layout separate from the 127v127 playable area.

- Frugis – The last stage of Rush received changes allowing the attacking team to exit from a subway near the enemy spawn.
- Wakistan – Domination 32v32 layout changed to an east coast line layout, with the old layout moved to 16v16.
- Map Display:
- The number of players in enemy vehicles will no longer be shown on the map when they are spotted.
- Building Placement:
- Walls now require a half-player-size space margin to avoid clipping with other objects, preventing visual and gameplay issues.
