SOS Patch Notes — May 2, 2018
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Welcome to SOS: Battle Royale!
We want to take a moment to thank our community for supporting us from Alpha through the latest content drop, and at this time we would like to welcome you to SOS: Battle Royale!
You thought you were signing up for a reality TV show, but the network has decided it would be much more entertaining for their audience to watch you fight to the death instead. You already signed the contract, so you really don’t have much choice. If you want to live, you’ll have to be the last one standing.
In Content Drop 3, we’ve made some significant changes to La Cuna to streamline the process for new players to join the game. Each match will be a rapid, high-intensity 10 minute battle, have 32 players, and only 1 survivor. To begin your new journey on La Cuna Island, you’ll drop on to the Island where you are 1 of 32 players who must fight to the death. Along with your wits, you will have to equip yourself with various weapons found on the island. Guns are certainly an option, but melee weapons are just as deadly. Keep your eyes open for footprints and other indicators that will help you stalk your enemies…
New Weapons
MTs-255
- Single Shot
- Ammo: Shotgun
- This shotgun holds five rounds. While it doesn’t have as much up-close damage potential as our sawed-off shotgun, it is much more effective at range.
Vector
- Automatic
- Ammo: SMG
- This SMG has the highest rate of fire of all weapons currently in SOS: BR. It’s just perfect for melting your enemies up-close.
MP7
- Automatic
- Ammo: SMG
- A great gun in a pinch, this high rate of fire SMG has clean iron-sights, making it very easy to maintain visual on your target.
AKM
- Automatic
- Ammo: Rifle
- This assault rifle puts out high damage, balanced by having a low rate of fire, and recoil that will take a steady hand to control.
HK53
- Automatic
- Ammo: Rifle
- A medium damage assault rifle with a medium rate of fire and much more controllable recoil.
So, hop in and take a few drops from the helicopter. With high-stakes gameplay and a slew of new weapons, we’re sure you’ll enjoy exploring La Cuna Island in a way like never before. Maybe you’ll even survive long enough to be the last one standing.
SOS: The Ultimate Escape
SOS classic mode will be available through Steam through Content Drop 3.
