Y2K Update

Y2K update banner

Hey guys, Y2K update is here 🥳 Quick summary:

  • Free weekly advanced roles 🃏
  • Weekly changing advanced and ranked setups 🌝
  • Vigilante, pacifist and wolf pacifist reveal rework 🕊️
  • Veteran badge rework 🏆
  • Easier role cards upgrading 🔧
  • “Last will”, “random time duration” and “assassins convention” available in custom games 🚧
  • Small xp boost for evil alliance on game over 😈
  • New crazy game mode: grid wars 🤯

This update does not contain any new roles. While there are currently 5 new roles that have entered sandbox without being fully released, your feedback and our feeling has been that these roles aren’t quite ready just yet, so we’d rather have them undergo a few more changes before getting another chance in sandbox. But this update is far from empty, check out the changes below and also the rather loooong list of quality of life changes at the end of this post! 😊

Thank you for reading and happy hunting! 🐺

Free weekly advanced roles

Weekly free advanced role cards

Every week you can claim three free cards that will unlock one random advanced role each. These cards stay in your inventory for one week before expiring. Free cards cannot be upgraded and cannot be used to upgrade other cards.

Time to try some of those advanced roles you might not yet have! 🐺

Veteran badge rework

Veteran Badges

Previously one veteran badge was given for each 365 daily rewards a player claimed. This led to some confusion, hence, starting today, one veteran badge will given for each full year since the account was created, assuming that the player has unlocked at least 50 levels per year.

In addition, player profiles will only show the highest veteran badge to avoid badge spam.

Previously unlocked veteran badges remain unlocked.

Easier role cards upgrading

Role cards upgrading

If you have a lot of role cards and want to upgrade them to a high rarity, combining all cards can be a hassle and usually requires to first upgrade a bunch of other cards before being able to upgrade the card you actually care about.

With this update cards being selected to sacrifice no longer need to be of a specific rarity, but instead can be anything below the target rarity. For example if you want to upgrade a card to legendary, you can sacrifice epic, rare and even common cards!

The total number of cards need to sacrifice remains the same, so if you intend to upgrade a card to legendary with common cards only, you will need to select a loooot of cards to sacrifice.

Grid wars

Grid wars

Similar to row wars this game mode changes which team you belong to. During the first night and day you fight with your row to be the last row standing. On the 2nd night and day you instead fight with your column to be the last column standing. Night three you are back to row teams and so on 🤯
