Hey everyone! Todayโ€™s update brings back the Map Rotation, fresh updates to Elite Stronghold, some loot pool adjustments and bug fixes. Read on for the details.

๐Ÿ”„ The Map Rotation Is Back! 

  • Map Rotation now includes Elite Stronghold, Venture, and Slurp Rush

  • For competitors, please note that Elite Stronghold will be the featured map for the Reload Elite Series

Elite Stronghold Updates

  • Elite Armory has a new look, with more trees added to provide extra cover and reduce long-range sightlines

  • We've simplified the interior layout of Hostile Hold to make it easier to navigate

  • We've reduced open sight lines in three areas, near Hostile Hold, the large IO drill, and the snow-based outpost by Elite Experiments, to give players more opportunities to seek cover 

  • Based on your feedback, we've added some more chests across the map so players can find more loot in between named locations 

  • Added the Peerless Pier location name to the minimap

  • Bunkers are easier to spot 

    • We've updated their visual design to make them stand out as landmarks, see below for some of the improvements:

Thanks to your feedback, weโ€™ve added several Ascenders near the lake bunker, along the cliffs above the river between Top Tier Training and Chiseled Cubes:

Shotgun meta is in my opinion absolute perfection rn! ARs are also good, but I would have kept the combat AR. We just need the mammoth and the grappler back and Reload will be perfect imo. Pls never remove the infiltrator for as long as yall did ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ญ

hey! I really enjoyed the lootpool prior to 40.30, such as the wrecker revolver pump combo, and the reaper sniper rifle, however now there is literally only 1 good shotgun(morphite pump), and 1 sniper. Like I genuinely don't want to play reload anymore if this is the lootpool, please take note of this.

Save the world bugs: Does anyone know whatโ€™s with the screen static when switching between tabs? Also I just ate a coconut and it glitched me to where I could not swing my pickaxe or switch to a weapon. I had to leave the mission. Has anyone else experienced these bugs?
