Several players have encountered issues when trying to purchase Store Bundles while also using a linked account. Store bundles would either not show the correct discount, or would show an overly inflated Mammoth Coin price. 

Now, when using account linking, the price shown on a store bundle now accurately reflects the price for the platform account you’re using.

Please note, if you’ve purchased Items included in a store bundle, the maximum discount only applies when you’re getting the bundle from the same account that owned the Items originally.

  • For example, if you’re purchasing the Halftime Bundle, and you already owned the Brawldog Mordex Skin and Victor Sidekick on your Steam account, you’d need to purchase the bundle on Steam to get the intended discount on the remaining Items. 
  • Due to limitations around linking accounts across platforms, discounts do not carry over to a linked account.

UI

  • Limited-time Queues will now include a countdown timer in the Casual Queues screen so you know how long you have left to play them.
  • The Event Center now displays a countdown on the main page to let you know immediately how much time is left in the Timed Event.
  • You can now find a sign up link for BCX 2025 in the Event Center!
  • After many posts from players saying they missed what they earned, it’s now more difficult to skip an Event Chest unlocking.

Mallhalla

  • Updated the RGB Color Scheme icon and sorting to separate it from the Esports colors.

UI 

  • Fixed a visual bug to the Color Scheme grid in the Event Center. Now when you’ve unlocked the All Legends Color Scheme, the infinity symbol icon will now “light up” properly.
  • Fixed a bug in the Party Queue where it said “Party Rematch” instead of “Party Matchmaking”

UX 

  • Fixed a bug where Trail Effects were not saving between matches.

Art & Animation

  • Fixed a major bug that didn’t allow custom Trail Effects to show in replays. Credit: @Skull_K3y
  • Fixed a slight visual issue with the inventory icon for the Soul Blast Trail Effect.

Gameplay

  • Fixed a bug where players were not able to try out RGB Colors in Training Mode.
