SMASH
Winter 2016 Season Update
Welcome back to the Winter 2016 Season! On the US Leaderboard we have both nix_ and acoo398 continuing their hard work to lock down the top 3 positions on the US leaderboard. redberett had previously been in position 3, but has since been overtaken by Tezlashock - with a mere 4 more ELO points! Welcome to the board, Tezla.
Taking a look at the EU board though.. wow. Quite an upset has happened! _BrightDarkness_ has increased their ELO but fallen from 1st to 3rd, with IITessII taking over 1st and a newcome in 2nd place. Aiginew - previously in 2nd has fallen all the way down to 9th. While US might have it's few dedicated players, EU is ripe for newcomers. I hope to see plenty more upsets in the weeks ahead. Don't let me down!
- US: nix_ @ 1197, acoo398 @ 1174, Tezlashock @ 1166
- EU: IITessII @ 1150, GalavonBordeaux @ 1145, _BrightDarkness_ @ 1144

Announcing The Gun Game January patch, live on servers NOW for Premium testing!
What is Gun Game?
Gun Game is a highly competitive team-based shootout, centered around your ability to kill the enemy, progressing you through Wasted's arsenal of firearms. All players begin with an MP5; with each kill, a new gun is acquired. The first player to 18 kills wins the match!
Progression follows the order:
Sub Machineguns -> Assault Rifles -> Heavy Machineguns -> Shotguns -> Rifles & Revolvers -> Pistols.
Where is Gun Game?
The Gun Game villager can be found beneath the Wasted lobby sign, right beside the Wasted: Sandbox villager. You can also access Gun Game via the Diamond Hoe in your lobby inventory!
What has Changed?
- New Guns: MP18, M60E4, .44 Magnum, Nagant M1895, and the Coach shotgun!
- New Power-up system: Speed boosts, Bonus Shotbow XP, and more!
- New Map: The Mine
Exclusive Premium-only testing is one way of thanking those who make these updates possible by contributing to the Network's future. If you'd like to make a purchase contribution to Shotbow, and support future updates of this kind, check out the Go Premium page! You will gain immediate access to the Gun Game update.

I would like to also mention that there is no better time than NOW to roll up your sleeves and try your hand at map building! We would love to get some fresh new maps integrated into the game!
Your feedback is also welcomed. Have an amazing new feature proposal, Power Up suggestion, or just some thoughts in general about the update? You are encouraged to post a reply to this thread with questions/comments/ideas, or feel free to create a new thread under the Wasted forum section.
