- The studio said it is fine-tuning back-end systems following an influx that pushed Steam’s concurrent player count to about 354,836 over the weekend after a 130,000-plus debut.
- Raider Tokens function as the game’s premium cosmetic currency, with the 500-token grant worth roughly $5 based on typical store pricing.
- Developers have been restoring lost loot to players killed by cheaters, reiterating a commitment to fair play and reversing unfair deaths.
