Team Comtress 2 Update - September 6, 2025 Beta

Changes

• 6s and Highlander no longer have reduced respawn times based upon player count. They will be based upon the standard respawn wave timer of 10 seconds by default.
  • This fixes an issue where disconnected players could influence their team’s respawn time to be shorter.
  • Furthermore, this extends respawn times in 6s to the designed time. Since 6s is below the 8 player threshold per team for full respawn times, 6s always received a lowered respawn time by default.
  • We’ll monitor the impact of this change and use it to devise a more suitable respawn time for 6s which isn’t based upon a proportion of 8 player teams.
• BLU Engineers can now build in their respawn room during Setup time
  • Buildings built in this way are disabled until they are moved out of the respawn room
  • After Setup time is over, buildings cannot be placed in the respawn room
