LawBreakers Patch 1.3 Brings New Map Variant, Role Limits to Quick Play

Boss Key Productions continues to update LawBreakers. Besides some new maps coming later this month with Ranked Play and a new class arriving by 2017 end, the developer has released a new patch that limits stacking the same hero in Quick Play.

From patch 1.3, players can now only have two of the same hero in a match. This is to encourage diversity and limit the frustrations that can emerge when certain heroes are stacked. The other new features of the match include a variant of Promenade which takes place at night; the ability to imprint Kick decals on the world; and an XP bonus tracker which displays active streaks and bonuses within the main menus.

The new patch also makes several changes to modes like Blitzball, Overcharge and Uplink along with adjustments to the map Trench and you can read up on them all below. For individual patches notes, head here for PC and here for PS4.
