G’day Forts fans!
Welcome to another regular update of Forts. If you’ve glanced at the change list: yes, this is a relatively small update. In fact, it’s small enough that we’ve focused on bugs and improvements that won’t render replays made with the previous version obsolete. The reason for a small update is that, as you might know, we are working on something in the background. Of course there are always improvements that need to be made. You can find the list of changes below.
Also, With the new season we’ve got a new pool of maps for the ranked competition. The maps for Season 16 are:
- Abyss
- Hang Time
- Ledge Grab
- Stalactites 1v1
- Vanilla
- Battlegrounds 1v1
As always we invite you to provide constructive feedback here or via the Official Forts Discord, Have fun!
Cheers,
EWG
