nowThe Goods
- 🟢 New: “The Fallen” returns! Just as it was back in the day. Eliminated tributes are projected in the night sky for Tributes to see. You’ll get notified right before the presentation starts.
- 🟢 New: Sponsoring and Betting now use a brand-new graphical player selection interface, which makes it much faster to pick the tribute you want to sponsor or wager on.
- 🟡 Change: The following interfaces have been modernized to use the new unified back-end added in Part 1: betting, sponsorship, Sponsor note pouch
🟢 New: REport Window
Presenting a new tool that will help players fight troublemaking: the Report window! This form allows you to send off a bundle of helpful information, including recent chat messages, which will help me deal with various situations. This is what it looks like:
- You can open it from the Game Menu (bottom left).
- Select any of the given reasons (Cheating, Toxicity, Bug Abuse) and/or provide a custom reason – the more detail the better!
- Reports automatically include useful data such as recent chat messages.
- You can report players even if they leave the game.
- To send a report, you must be at least Level 2 (200 XP) and your account must be 7 days old. These values are subject to change.
- There are sensible limits on how often you can report. Spamming reports doesn’t accomplish anything!
- It’s not a replacement for Roblox’s report menu – you should still use that if someone’s breaking Roblox’s rules.
sounds
- 🟡 Change: Wolf mutts will growl less often. In general, packs of wolves will be less loud.
- 🟠Fix: Various sounds that used to be in the game and audible are once again audible, including consumables, traps, kunai throwing, and training room teleporters

miscellaneous
- 🟢 New: Throwing kunai (both poison and regular) now has an animation.
- 🟢 New: You can now “Read” the various buttons in the lobby (sponsor, gamemaker and betting rooms).
- 🟢 New: If you try to sponsor or place a wager before selecting a player, you’ll get a message saying you need to do that first.
- 🟡 Change: The passageways to the side rooms in the lobby have been widened.
- 🔴 Removed: The following redundant items given upon entering the Training Room are no longer given: Poison Kunai, Poison Sword, Club, Compass
- 🟡 Change: Wolf mutts will wait a minimum of
1→2.5 seconds before jumping and a maximum of2→5 seconds. - 🟡 Change: Bows are now much easier to pick up off the ground. While on the ground, bows won’t have an arrow nocked.
fixes and improvements
