New Gun: Double Barrel The Double Barrel is a close range, high damage weapon. Perfect for executing a player in close quarters or making a quick getaway with its knockback boost. Left click for a medium damage, highly accurate shot. Right click for an extremely high damage but inaccurate blast which will send you flying. You can equip it in the Loadouts menu at level 25 or higher. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40507759/2dd93317d36d3de887a68e0b2bf030947c7d749f.gif Base Stats Pull out time: 0.4s Firerate: As fast as you can click, up to 33/s Reload time: 1.33s Magazine size: 2 Damage: 90 (Primary), 270 (S

1.43.11 (October 27) Removed some old, obsolete Anti-Cheat stuff from before Enforcer Attempted to fix a weird issue where shooting a player would kill them with the name "New Text" 1.43.10 (October 22) Increased security of the leaderboards 1.43.9 (October 8) Normally, matches kick players with pirated DLC, but in the case of Supporter Edition it would kick you if you pirated the DLC even if you did not use any of the perks. Some players have software on their computer that automatically pirates DLC, which was making them get kicked even if they hadn't intentionally used any Supporter Edition

Race against others to get a top spot on the leaderboard! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40507759/5d7f938a07a0ea22ca210f305e16e573ee34a8c9.gif Pillars is available now in-game!

1.42.4 (September 1) Improvements to Enforcer. 1.42.3 (September 1) Fixed an issue where the Selfie Stick icon appeared low resolution. Removed the "Saved photo" chat message when you use the Selfie Stick, as it is now redundant due to the Steam screenshot notification. Chat messages copied with Redmatch 2 emoji will now properly contain the emoji. Redmatch 2 emoji will now autocomplete if you press Tab while typing one. Fixed an issue where the Selfie Stick could be used by alts on computers without Supporter Edition. Fixed an issue where the Anti-Cheat screen could get stuck loading to 90%.

Supporter EditionAs many of you know, I've been working on Redmatch 2 as a solo developer for the past 6 years since its itch.io release in 2019. This game has sparked such an amazing community and taken off way more than I ever could have anticipated. Thank you all for playing! It's been my favorite project to work on, and I can't wait to implement all the ideas I have left for it.I've just released Supporter Edition, which is a great way to support me and my projects! There are a ton of new unique perks, including GIF skins, banners, a selfie stick, a custom name gradient, and more! New File

1.41.6 (August 27) Improved custom image caching. 1.41.5 (August 27) Fixed a bug with the last patch that caused issues with joining matches. 1.41.4 (August 27) Nerfed the default Rifle damage from 34 to 30 to account for the previous movement buff. Fixed an issue where custom skins/banners over 2MB could not be uploaded. Custom image file uploads that are too large now give a proper error, instead of a generic server error. Team color on the scoreboard is now represented by background color instead of name color. The Knife no longer has 1 ammo, instead no ammo is displayed. If you attempt to

Custom Skin Rewrite Custom Skins in Redmatch 2 have always existed in a weird limbo of requiring you to use third party image hosting sites to upload your skins. In this update, I've completely reworked how Custom Skins and Banners work on the backend, and now skins will all use custom Redmatch 2 image hosting servers. When you launch the game, any existing custom skins and banners will be automatically converted to using the new system. You can now upload a Custom Skin from a file on your computer, or use a URL like before. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40507759/ccda21d9df79a42f0402901d1fce17a4d9b42499.

1.40.5 (August 15) Added the Progress menu so you can see level-based unlocks in one place (the Level menu has been merged into it). When a new cosmetic or item is unlocked, it now shows you what you unlocked when you level up. Reduced the amount of votes custom maps need to be eligible for stats from 200 to 50. Reduced the positive vote percentage required for custom maps to be elegible for stats from 75% to 50%. Improved spectating quality. 1.40.4 (August 13) Fixed a bug where sometimes joining a player from Steam would result in a secure match error. Fixed a missing face on the smg uv map.

New Gun: SMGThe SMG is a high firerate, medium damage weapon. It excels at mid-range fighting, but is less effective at long distances due to the spread increase with sustained firing (tap fire at long range for best accuracy!).

Custom Anti-CheatI've heard your complaints loud and clear about the cheater problem, so I've been working closely with another developer for the past 5 months to bring a custom Anti-Cheat (Enforcer) to Redmatch 2.Please bear with us as we fix bugs and issues while we roll it out fully! This is the first time this Anti-Cheat has been used in a game, as it was created for Redmatch 2. If you encounter any issues with the Anti-Cheat, please contact me or the Anti-Cheat developer (@Lewis) on our Discord server so that we can quickly work to fix them.FAQIs it a kernel Anti-Cheat?It is not kernel le

1.38.3 (July 20) Upgrade Cabinets in custom maps are no longer affected by the Custom Map Volume setting. Changed the "Part of the X Bundle" button to say "View the X Bundle" to make its purpose more clear. The description input in the report menu now clears after cancelling or submitting a report. You can no longer report a player for the same reason twice. (For real this time) Added an ADS sensitivity setting. 1.38.2 (July 16) Fixed a spelling error with the /players command.

Hello folks! I'm back with some big changes and a ton of bugfixes.Voice ChatI've always felt that the communication in Redmatch 2 has been a bit lacking, so I've worked the past few months on getting voice chat working in-game. The default mode is Global, and you can enable Proximity Chat in match settings (which is especially fun for Infection!). You can use either push-to-talk or open mic, and individually adjust player volumes in the escape menu. If you encounter players abusing the voice chat feature, please report them and the moderation team will investigate. Voice chat can be deactivate
