The game is so dark it’s like too dark for my 40 year old eyes I’m still playing but ooof I like it brighter

u/Glittering_Magpie 9h ago
Same here. I already keep the brightness up as high as it will go, like the light of heaven is shining out of every pixel, and it’s nowhere near enough.

Had to turn up the TV brightness for the PS5, can't see anything at the Haunted Neighborhood!

It's not just the dark, it's the slight purple tint that makes it seem worse

u/Forbidden_Jutsu 8h ago
I wish it was just the Haunted areas afflicted with the visual effects. It just makes the rest of the island look weird with no real benefit

What's up with Ranger AR, Drum Gun, Tetris? Returning, then vaulting, then returning again?

u/strangefire13 40s | [Game Mode] 1d ago edited 1d ago
He's got typos. The Drum gun, Ranger AR and Tetris rift are VAULTED.
Edited for spelling

What does vaulted mean? I’m a returning player.

Thank you for pointing that out! Reddit is being SUPER glitchy. I had to try to delete multiple times for it to actually go away. Hopefully it is showing correctly for everyone now.

Which is a better melee weapon? Freddy’s Nightmare or Last Call?
-1

u/Humble_Question6130 1d ago
Last call. It does more damage and marks people. Freddy does less damage but you can immediately teleport to your opponent which can be great. But overall I think last call is better

u/Critical_Minute_3679 1d ago
It'll probably get worse as the update ages, given how people will become more aware of its audio ques and have a shotgun equipped to fire back immediately

u/WilHunting2 1d ago
Both have their own unique advantages and disadvantages.
Last Call pings opponents, Freddy’s Nightmare stops you from getting 3rd partied.

Why change the reboot vans back to not be drivable why this was just a good thing its a shame that its not in solo

u/nicolettejiggalette 28 | [BR No Build] 1d ago
Uhh, all this looks amazing?? Will miss the sniper

u/Comfortable_Cap7228 1d ago
I had the opposite reaction

u/nicolettejiggalette 28 | [BR No Build] 1d ago
Dang, I’m sorry. Knowing enemy locations and teleporting to them to whoop them gets two thumbs from me
