Competitive integrity Recently, we've taken action against accounts that have either boosted or cheated on the competitive leaderboards, as each week goes by we want to ensure that the players at the top of the leaderboard are in fact the top players. We will continue to monitor and take action where necessary. Updates In addition to the above, we'll be releasing the following server updates: The game tiles in the competitive menu have been reordered, Execution & Guardian are now in the top row, Control & FFA in row 2, and TDM & 2v2 in row 3, Escalation will be in the fourth row. The ring rotation for Reactor has been updated in the Control (esports) game mode. The Mulcher has been replaced for the Torque Bow in Execution 2.0 matches. The Scorcher's ammo in Versus has been reduced from 105 to 60, additionally the clip size has been reduced to 30 from 35. And as always, take care and have a wonderful week! TC
