• Tweaked the attenuation settings of Turret gun shots and explosions.
• Fixed some issues with reload sounds being heard from much further than anticipated.

Graphics

• Energy Shields have a new graphics that is easier to see. This is due to the differences in the VR and PC editions. In the VR version of the game energy shields are an item which you hold and aim to block shots. This doesn’t work as well in a non-VR setting so the PC version simply absorbs energy when damaged. But it was previously still using the transparent shield model.

• Particle improvements and optimizations across the board.

Maps

• Added new bottles to the target range in the tutorial lobby. These can be destroyed by shooting them.

• Fixed some problems with weapons partially sunk into tables in the tutorial lobby.

Until None Remain is a futuristic multiplayer third person shooter in a Battle Royale or Last Man Standing format. Matches pit weaponless players against one another in a death match that continues until only one player remains. Players must rush to acquire weapons, armor, or specialty items such as jet packs, or traps. Scale walls or objects using magnetized gloves, jet around the arena in a jet pack, and interact with an environment that includes turrets, explosive containers, noxious gases, and more!

Action takes place on a competitive map with poisonous gases which will push the players inward every five minutes. Matches will last for a maximum of 10 minutes, or until only one player remains. Players will be automatically matched for quick action and will be able to practice in an offline lobby. Matches will take a maximum of five minutes to begin. If a match has not filled up its slots by that time it will fill out the match with AI controlled players.
