Rogue Company: Update & Patch Notes 0.45

Rogue Company will deployed Update 0.45 this weekend. Scott Lussier, the lead designer of the game, shared the various changes and novelties brought by the update while waiting for the official patch notes.

Shooting Range

Even elite Rogue's need practice and what better place to do this than a shooting range? Try various weapons, abilities and rogues to prepare yourself for your next mission.

Strikeout

General

• Bleedout Rate increased from 9 seconds to 12 seconds.
• Slighty reduced the radius at which enemies influence spawns.
• Slightly increased the radius at which friendlies influence spawns.
• The Undo Purchase button will be going live.

Deserter/AFK Penalty System

In order to provide a more fair experience for players, Update 0.45 will implement a new system to discourage leaving matches early and going AFK. Please note specific penalties could change prior to Beta based on data and feedback.

To be eligible for a deserter penalty a player must fall within on of the following categories:

• Left Match Early — A player who leaves a full party (not through disconnection).
• AFK — A player who has met our inactivity criteria (hasn't taken a valid action) for approximately 2 minutes.
• Disconnected — A player who has disconnected for at least 5 minutes before the match ends.

Upon meeting one of these criteria a player will be unable to queue for a match for a period of time base don number of offenses. Players will see a timer denoting how long until they are able to queue again.

• 1st offense = 10 minutes
• 2nd offense = 30 minutes
• 3rd offense = 4 hours
• 4th offense = 24 hours
