Blacklight: Retribution v1.100 Patch Notes, Onslaught edition. NEW GAME MODES- Onslaught: Fight off increasingly difficult waves of enemies in this four-player cooperative game mode. Available in four difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and the headshots-only Hardcore.
- Search and Destroy: This new multi-round, limited-respawn game mode tasks one team with planting a deadly bomb, while the other team must prevent or defuse it.
- Last Man Standing: A multi-round Deathmatch variant with no respawns. Winner takes all.
- Last Team Standing: A multi-round Team Deathmatch variant with no respawns. Kill all opposing team members to win.
NEW MAPS- Metro is built for tunnel rats and shotgun fanatics, with side hallways broken up by sharp corners. Short-ranged weapons and calculated use of your HRV visor to track enemy agents will be key to your success.
- Safehold is built around an open plaza, with several balconies circling it. Operatives holding the central plaza will face attacks from the buildings surrounding it. Be careful when engaging in lengthy firefights in the ruined plaza, though – there’s a giant pit large enough to drop a Hardsuit through.
NEW ITEMS- AK470 Rifle: This well-balanced weapon has a moderate rate of fire with high stopping power.
- M4X Rifle: This battle-tested weapon has a high rate of fire with moderate stopping power.
- HRV Cloak: While this piece of Tactical Gear is active, you will not be visible in HRV.
PREMIUM SERVER MUTATORS- You can now define the number of rounds a match lasts, up to 15. This applies to all game modes, even those that normally do not have multiple rounds.
- Spawn Tickets: You can now set a limited number of spawns, on either a per-team or per-player basis. A red X will appear over a player's name in the scoreboard when they are unable to respawn.
- Team Swap: Set whether teams swap after every round, after half the rounds have been played, or never swap at all.
- Force Freeze: Enable or disable a ten-second pause at the start of each round.
- Disable Join in progress: Enabling this option prevents players from joining once the match has started. In multi-round games, new players will spectate until the end of the current round and join at the beginning of the next.
- Force CP Reset: This option toggles whether or not CP is reset to 0 between rounds.
- Cosmetic Armor: Enabling this will give all players the stats of the default armor.
- Cosmetic Weapons: Enabling this will give all weapons the stats of the default receiver. Certain attachments, such as scopes and shotgun magazines, are not affected by this.
