King of the Hill

King of the Hill is a new mode coming on April 1st as part of the War Machine time-limited event. Two teams rush...

Big fan of seeing the support for the penguins, yall are doing me proud.

Love this, and I love the fact that this particular dev is running around with the elf mask on!

The studio actually unlocked the holiday masks for us to use as part of last years holiday period, and now we've taken them on and given them a new bit of life by using them to jumpscare people (yes, honestly, that's what y'all shout at me for when I run out of smoke with the Santa on one!)

We are a rarity but it's good when you catch us, do say hi! :)

It actually isn't, but hey - we're always here and keeping an eye on things :D
