6.10 Patch Notes (October 16, 2018 )

Gameplay

• You can now view and change Edit Controls separately from Combat and Build Controls in the controller menu.
• Controller sensitivity slider in the options menu now allows for more than 10 values.
• Added an option to Builder Pro that allows for building as soon as you switch to the piece, instead of selecting first and then placing. This allows for faster building without a preview.
• Added an option that allows for edit hold timing to be adjusted.
• Opening the Emote Picker with a controller will happen when the button is released, while holding the button will replay the emote that was last played.

Bug Fixes

• PS4 controller lighting will match player marker color.
  
• You can now set building mode sensitivity for controllers in the options menu. It is a multiplier on the default controller sensitivity and allows up to a 2x increase.

6.00 Patch Notes (September 27, 2018 )

Gameplay

• Custom Controller Bindings

• Choosing your configuration has changed to a selector on the left side of the menu.

• After selecting Custom, the right side of the menu becomes buttons that are selectable. When a button is clicked, it opens a list of actions that can be assigned to that button.
• Mode selection (Combat, Build) has changed to selectable by triggers. When in either Combat or Build mode, the actions for that mode and the actions that span between modes will appear in the “actions list” to select from.

• Console - Input-Based Matchmaking

• Players using a keyboard and mouse on PS4 will now be put into the PC matchmaking pool.
• Start matchmaking with your preferred input device. You will be queued with the input type you press the “Play” or ""Ready"" button with.

• If you start matchmaking with a keyboard and mouse, then you'll be queued in the PC matchmaking pool. However, you'll be able to switch to a controller mid-match if you'd like.
• If you start matchmaking with a controller, then you'll remain in your platforms normal queue. However, you'll be unable to switch to a keyboard and mouse mid-match.

• PC players are unaffected by this change. If you use a controller on PC then you'll remain in the PC matchmaking queue.
