We have been experimenting with ways to help us grow the Quake community, and one way is to learn which of our advertisements and web content effectively bring new Quake players to the game. To be clear: our limited trial use of Red Shell in Quake Champions only gathers anonymous data, such as where new players are coming from or how many matches they played. This helps us work smarter to grow a stronger Quake community, built on players who will continue to play the game. The software does not collect any personal information.
That being said our players are our top priority. In response to your concerns, we’ve stopped collecting this data and will be removing the trial version of Red Shell from the game with a hotfix next week. We are still investigating how to use this technology in the future to help us grow and sustain Quake Champions moving forward. When/if we do add it back to the game, we’ll give everyone a heads up and explain what it is doing and how it is doing it, and any implementation will be compliant with our Privacy Policy and GDPR.
Update:
As of June 26, we have deployed a hotfix that removed Red Shell.

Quakefam, your response to the game during E3 week has been amazing. Tons of new players have stepped foot into the arena for the first time to take their place amongst Champions, and we couldn't be more thrilled that you're having fun with the game.
Because of this, we want to give even more players a chance to join the battle, so we're extending free-to-play access until Monday, June 25! Play Quake Champions for free during this week, and after the event you can continue playing!

Update Jan. 18: Fixes to issues coming in January update
**Updated January 18**
Quakers, after careful evaluation of the hotfix planned for January 18, we have found that it isn't up to our standard of quality. Rather than release an unstable patch that could cause more problems for our players, we've decided to not release the hotfix today, and instead include the fixes as part of our January update, slated for next week.
We apologize again for the delay, but we hope you'll agree that taking time to release a solid update is the best option.

UPDATE 2PM EST: We have discovered some issues that are occurring after this hotfix. In order to have the best possible performance, we are going to roll back to the previous game version. We plan to continue working on the hotfix to ensure that it is stable. We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.
Hey Champions,

- Fixed an issue that caused a small percentage of players to crash to desktop when launching the game
- Fixed mouse sensitivity only being able to be adjusted by increments of 0.25
- Fixed issue incorrect champion showed at the profile screen. Post-match statistics are now assigned to the correct champion

Keel can store and fire up to 5 grenades at a time. Grenades will bounce off the environment, detonating a few seconds later and inflicting splash damage. Direct hits deal 75 damage per grenade. Each grenade refreshes on a 10-second cooldown.
Passive Ability: Stockpile
Keel can reduce his ability cooldown by 5% by collecting any ammo box.

VALE OF PNATH
ITHAGNAL DUEL MAP

Designed for Duel and 2v2 TDM, Vale of Pnath is a highly vertical three atrium arena where players will fight for control of both weapons and stack, using the sounds of heavy metal doors to track their enemies movements. Vale provides fun, hectic, and fast paced action for 2 players, but is also available in Custom Game for Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch.
