Recycle Items
A lot of people have complained about their inventories filled with Jeff Hair.
You can now recycle items, and turn them into rags.
Go to your inventory -> Click an Item -> Recycle
Be VERY CAREFUL when you recycle items, as you can NOT get recycled items back.
With enough rags, you can craft a random crate.
Gameplay
Seekers are frozen for the first 5 seconds of a round, giving the hiders time to hide.
Tried to fix some stutter issues, but not sure if it worked lol
Fixed an issue where you would hit a person but it didn't register
You can now set your Input Latency in the Game Settings. Setting this value lower will make your mouse movement more repsonsive, but decrease FPS. Setting it higher will have the opposite effect.
Can open your inventory in-game, and open crates in-game (Sometimes when you open a crate in game it will now show the crate opening, and just freeze. But the item will appear in your inventory if you check there).
Can change your outfit in game, but only when you are in the waiting room.
Other
Added a few more quests, based on suggestions from LePawel & the community :)
Server sends a chat message if someone unboxed something cool
Can now type in freecam without moving the camera
Backpacks
Yeah we got backpacks now. They cannot be found in crates, exclusively on the Item Store.
As a sidenote: Thanks for all the feedback on cosmetics. I'll be working on improving things, and adding some more maps + modes. Also some special holiday stuff. Cheers

Crab Game Cosmetics Update
Crab Game Cosmetics Update 2
ayo,
So I said in the last update I would be working on cosmetics, since a lot of people requested it. It was a lot more time consuming to make than I thought, but I've finished up 50+ items with Steam Inventory support, and everything else. Hope you like it! Also a question for everyone. Currently you cannot buy crates, is this something you wanna see changed? Why? Why not? Are there any other changes in general you'd like to see? Thanks for the feedback!
Earning Cosmetics
Crates are completely free to open.
When a game finished, there is a chance to receive a crate drop.
Being toxic / reported / banned / kicked / hacking will lead to less drops. Not affected if you're just banned or kicked by a bad / salty host.
There is a limit to how many crates you can get every day.
Crates can be opened by entering your Inventory, found in the Main Menu.
Crates can also be earned by completing daily quests.
Opening Crates
You can open your crates from the in-game inventory.
There are currently 4 main categories of items you can receieve: Hair, Hats, Accessories & Shoes.
There are 50+ items in total, with different rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Extraordinary & Legendary. In addition, items can have special attributes.
Special Items
When opening a crate, your items can have special attributes.
Color - Every item earned from crates comes in a different color. There are 4 tiers of color rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare & Legendary.
Shiny - There is a very small chance an item is shiny. These items are very rare, and will give off a glow / shine.
Brand- Hats have a small chances of being branded with "YIKE".
Daily Quests
Complete daily quests to earn crates.
Once you complete a daily quest, you can claim your item.
You receive a new quest 24 hours after claiming your item.
There's probably a few bugs with this, literally finished the system like 5 minutes before uploading this update lol
