Eat them to recover health (they have the nutritional value of 4 coconuts) and collect them to unlock limited edition summer cosmetics until August 9th! In addition to the Super Summer Royale event we’ve also packed this update full of new features and improvements across the board. Some highlights include: [h1][b]Loot System Update[/b][/h1] We’ve revamped the way items drop at the end-game so that every game your chance of earning an item goes up (based on the amount of time you survive) until you eventually earn a new item! The new system is a lot clearer than the old one, is balanced to reward you with items more often, and now features your favourite Delivery Mole to do the honours of serving you your rewards. We’re also starting you off with a 50% chance to earn an item in your first game so that you’ll likely get your first item quick! [h1][b]Map UI Improvements[/b][/h1] You can now see the Giant Eagle and its flight path on the map! [h1][b]New Super Milestones[/b][/h1] We’ve added 3 new Skunk Bomb milestones (where you can earn the Skunk Bomb Tee, Nose Clip, and Skunk Hat) as well as one additional secret milestone. No spoilers! Secret Milestones now also display an in-game alert when triggered so you can see what you've earned. [h1][b]Squads Weekend[/b][/h1] Squads mode replaces Duos mode from Friday, July 19th to Monday, July 22nd so you and 3 friends can team up to reach the Top of the Food Chain! We’ve been testing some alternative 4-player modes internally, and other ways to run these Squads Weekends as the game continues to grow, so let us know what you'd like to see most in our [url=https://discord.gg/animalroyale]feedback channel in Discord[/url] and the future Squads Weekends could see some changes very soon!
