Server update

November 9, 2026

Escape ArenaLive since the 12:00 PM UTC restart13 changes

Added

Aim Lab distance presets: stand Close, Standard or Far from the targets on any mode, with your bests kept per distance. Standard is the ranked distance.
Linetrack in the Aim Lab: one orb glides across three heights at speeds that change every leg, for smooth tracking practice.
Three more Aim Lab drills: Motionshot for clicking targets on the move, Reflexshot for raw reaction time, and Peekshot for headshots on a peek.
Elimination now shows both squads over the clock: your team with health, the enemy as alive or down, so you always know how many are left.

Changed

Gridshot targets in the Aim Lab now spawn further apart and never touching. Gridshot personal bests and its board start fresh, since the old scores were set on a tighter grid.
Custom matches now name the sides Blue Team and Red Team.
Damage to and from bots now shows in your match reports like any other player's, while only fights against real players count toward your stats and rating.
The lobby podium's top five now wear their player card with a gold, silver or bronze medal; look at one to see their full card and open their profile.
Aim Lab is now its own tab in the arena menu, and Escape in the range opens it.
The Aim Lab page has a new layout: modes grouped by type, with weapon, distance and scoring as full rows.
Start with bots now fills a 5v5 for a solo player in unranked queues.

Fixed

Watching a replay or standing near a dressed lobby ped no longer leaves their tattoos in your own appearance.
Helmets no longer reduce headshot damage.
