V2.0.3 - March 2, 2018

 * Fixed the "interp bug"!
 * This means that many bugs are now fixed.
 * "Inventory bugs" - picking up items and having them disappear, but not appear in your inventory
 * "Health bar bugs" - Some players health bars staying red between rounds
 * "Ghost bugs" - Some players staying in a ghost state, but still able to shoot, and the inverse of this
 * A few other miscellaneous bugs :)

Scope Changes

 * We've re-added the scope "panning" mechanic - where the screen will follow your mouse around, to allow you to sneak up on unsuspecting people who may not be looking in your direction
 * the likelihood that Scopes will spawn slightly
 * We've all 3 scopes zoom levels, to make the zoom out less severe / less overpowered if you have an 8x in particular

Skin & Shop Changes

 * Added two new free weapon skin packs! We heard your feedback loud and clear; weapon skins via purchase only was kinda lame. So now you can get two sweet new skin sets without paying a dime - a Bitfox themed weapon pack, and a Dead Red themed weapon pack
 * Fixed a bug where you couldn't actually use any skin other than the "default" guy! Start using other skins again!
 * Re-added the Doc! He went missing somehow. Anyway he's back
 * Added a new skin - Ghillie Suit (it's blueish so it doesn't give you an advantage)
 * the required number of wins for all free skins across the board

Matchmaking

 * Added some additional matchmaking options, and altered the match finder algorithm to be a bit smarter about round state
 * Players can choose Quickplay if you are OK with potentially being a ghost for a couple of minutes and just wanna get in-game ASAP
 * Players can choose to Find Match if you would rather wait until a perfect game is available. This can take up to 30 seconds during non-peak hours but should be pretty quick most of the time
 * These options are only available for logged in players; players who do not have accounts will simply have a “Play Bruh” button that does the same thing as the Quickplay option
 * Added the ability to find a match while you're a ghost
 * Added a "Play" button next to the servers in the server list for even faster access
 * Fixed a bug where the server name in the top right would simply say "EXPERIMENTAL"
 * Fixed an issue where the Global Leaderboard was borked

V2.0.1 - February 26, 2018

 * Re-added the "spawn cube"
 * Fixed authentication issues around the reset password; you can now recover lost accounts
 * Did a sweep of all weapon spawn positions - there should no longer be weapons that spawn inside of walls. If you find any, please take a screenshot and show us so we can fix it! :)
 * Got rid of the gas when you're in the lobby so you can see better
 * Implemented some additional anti-cheat measures
 * Fixed a bug where microtransaction charge descriptions were just "Example" :(
 * M16 slightly

V2.0.0 - February 24, 2018

 * The death screen now closes on round start
 * Ghosts now get the equivalent of an 8x Scope to make spectating easier
 * Added a “press M for full map" option in-game
 * Added an additional window of success to the Active Reload system - where hitting R just before, or just after, gives you a "good enough" reload, which ends the reload timer faster (instead of instantly if you got it perfect)
 * Fixed the World Map link on the homepage
 * Re-added the close button to the death screen
 * Added an algorithmic player spawner which should spread players out more evenly on round start
 * Added Kevlar as a consumable item that will get you up to (maximum) 150% hp
 * Drastically improved performance
 * Enemy players drop all equipment on death

Shop!

 * Added Weapon Skins - several free skins and several paid weapon skins
 * Added a slew of new Character Skins - several free and several paid
 * Homepage Music is now off by default

Released 4 new weapons

 * BMG - Hardest hitting Sniper Rifle in the game
 * SBS - Shotgun similar to the Double Eagle, only with lower damage and faster fire rate
 * PP-Bizon - Similar to the UMP45, only with slower fire rate and higher damage
 * Glock - Pistol with a full-auto mode

Misc

 * Fixed a bug where Shotguns would only deal damage with 1 pellet
 * When you die in bruh.io, you now die in real life
 * Added a contact us via email button and a bug report button
 * Circle hath becometh squareth
 * Changed the way bullets look
 * Added a new free skin - "De Wae"! Do you know de wae?
 * New Map! 4x bigger :)
 * Weapon Attachments - Laser Sights and Scopes as separate items
 * Bandages, Painkillers, Medpacks are usable items that occupy 4, 5, and 6 on your keyboard

Reload + Active Reload Mechanic

 * Guns now have a magazine capacity and must be reloaded (R key) between mags. You can reload even faster by tapping R again during the sweet spot, netting you a successful active reload. Be careful what engagements you enter, and be mindful of reloading timings over the course of a fight. Mismanaging your ammunition will get you killed!

Recoil

 * Most fast-firing weapons now have recoil. The longer you fire, the wilder the recoil. So pause between bursts - your life depends on it! Identify a new player by them holding their mouse down. Identify a pro by them firing in short bursts to control their weapon.

Zoom Changes / Fix

 * Fixed an issue where players could zoom their browsers out in order to gain a tactical advantage. The game window is now locked at a fixed zoom level so everybody is on even ground.

Performance Improvements

 * Players with weaker machines should see significant performance improvements with this patch :)

Misc

 * Brand new favicon!
 * Polished the UI with a sexy new layout
 * Minimap, kills, and players alive are now in the top left
 * Improved gun details panel in the bottom right
 * Larger and cleaner health bar
 * New ammo and reload indicators

Balance Changes

 * Assault Rifles: Rate-of-fire is much higher, but they have the strongest recoil
 * SMGs: Recoil is high but manageable in bursts, great mid-range damage
 * Sniper Rifles: High damage is balanced by low magazine sizes and slow rate-of-fire
 * Shotguns: Amazing in close quarters, but only if you land your shots
 * Pistols: Weapons for experts and those that enjoy a challenge
 * The range of all weapons has been by 15-30% to match the new zoom level.
 * When looking up and down with a scope, the range is now to see 35% farther
