New Map: Nectar Lake

Pack your bags, it's time to go camping down by Nectar Lake! Be sure to keep your wits about you though—not everything is as it seems...

When a player is murdered, the sound now plays from the direction where the murder took place. The volume of the sound will also indicate how far away you were from the murder.

This feature works best when wearing headphones.
