Update: Bean Battles v2.10
Hello Beans,
This patch contains server side changes, branding, and a new website! In terms of content, there is not a ton, but this is something that I've been working on for a while and is a stepping stone to many future Bean Battles updates:
SERVER / WEBSITE
- Updated Server: Made some major changes to the server side of Bean Battles. The main goal of this is to eventually change how networking works(no more incompatible Nat type). This also helps connect Bean Battles Users stats with steam better to prevent peoples stats getting reset.
- New website: Gupa Games/Bean Battles now has a website! Now I will have a place to centralize accounts/news/and other content. gupagames.com
OTHER / BUG FIXES
- Steam Point Shop: A few months ago I created a steam point shop for Gupa Games (Bean Battles). I planned on adding various fan art, but sadly lost my discord account as well as the art. If you already submitted art to me, or are interested in having your own art on the steam point shop, please follow the process explained here.
- Fixed issues with the Leaderboards as well as removed various hackers.
- Added branding(Gupa Games) to various parts of Bean Battles.
- Updated some frameworks related to steam and networking.
- Other small fixes
If you find any issues or bugs let me know! I plan on having patches and content a lot more often moving forward(goal of every monthish). I have a lot of things planned but also want to hear your ideas! Please comment suggests below of head on over to the discord and post them there! https://discord.gg/cK2rCdw
Have fun!

Update: Bean Battles v2.03
Hey guys
This patch has a lot of QOL changes and bug fixes. It also comes with a change to weapon spawning, so its more consistent to find weapons.
GAMEPLAY
- Unfinished matches: Now when a match ends early, players receive XP and coins for the rounds played.
- Recent players: Recent players will now show up in Steam's recent players section.
- Weapon spawn rework: The exact details of this one is a bit confusing but overall weapon spawning should feel more constant. The spawns are no longer completely random. Some numbers have changed for spawn rates but overall it should feel the same.
- Character menu: The arrows to swap between various cosmetics finally don't move.
- Server side: A lot of server side changes to help performance and keep it more secure.
COSMETICS
- Slight modifications on a few skins.
NEW TITLES
- Bean Bash Champion
- RBBL Season 0 Champion
OTHER / BUG FIXES
- Gas Bug: Fixed the bug where your camera would get stuck on the the gas grenade.
- Weapon spawns: This has to do with rework. Weapons were spawning in at the incorrect rate in later rounds. Mainly the sights which was also causing performance issues.
- Performance: Other small performance issues involving the grid.
Thank you everyone for all the support and ideas. Hopefully everyone is enjoying the start of their summer. If you're interested in playing competitive Bean Battles make sure you check out the official DISCORD.

Update: Bean Battles v2.02
Hey guys
Today's patch is focused more on the competitive side of Bean Battles and helping out the various groups that run tournaments/leagues:
GAMEPLAY
- TAGS: You can now choose a TAG to represent a group or team. At the start of a game if the whole team shares the same TAG, your team’s name will be changed.
- Match Listings: Now match listings will tell you specific presets being used rather than just custom weapons.
- Tournament Match: In a tournament match you can now pause matches. Also DC’d players team/score/wins will be remembered upon re-connection.
- Competitive preset: The Riot Shield has been removed. The Katana now only does 50 if the preset is active.
OTHER / BUG FIXES
- Chat commands: A few bugs involving chat commands have been fixed.
- Custom Weapons: The Glock's spawn rate can now be changed
- Riot Shield: Fixed the bug where it would sometimes do the wrong damage.
