Outside weapons are strictly prohibited! This game mode will be featured on the maps Favelas, Breach, Factory, and Glacier.
Balance Changes
Rogues
Gl1tch
- Passive: Range buffed from 30 meters → 60 meters
Gl1tch’s passive is great for identifying enemy positions and dodging potentially dangerous encounters. This buff is aimed at increasing his play potential by extending the range of intel he can gather.
Talon
- Ability: Range buffed from 30 meters → 40 meters
This small bump in ability range should help Talon in encounters where weapons he’s pulling are just out of reach.
Vy
- Passive: Health steal rate reduced from .1 → .07
Vy’s maximum health steal passive is very strong in reducing the time to kill of enemy opponents and increasing her own. This change is meant to reduce that capability.
Weapons
Hydra
- Rate of Fire increased from 273rpm → 286rpm
We previously reduced the fire rate from 300 → 273rpm, this buff should bring the Hydra in line with the rest of the AR class.
Nightshade
- Accuracy loss per shot decreased from 0.02 → 0.01
The nightshade as a hybrid SMG/AR has been struggling relative to the SMG class and struggling relative to the AR class. This change brings its accuracy loss per shot closer to its SMG peers in an attempt to make it more viable.
Objection
- Headshot damage: 14 → 16
The objection is slightly lagging relative to its peers in the SMG category. Given the weapons overall inaccuracy, this increase in headshot damage should make the weapon more lethal in the close and close-mid ranges.
Sahara
- Increased hip fire accuracy
Missing a hip fire shot tended to be quite punishing given the overall accuracy, speed, and stopping power of this weapon. This change is to reduce the likelihood of missing an initial hip fire shot and being severely punished.
Riptide
- Increased max accuracy loss
- Accuracy returns faster after finishing firing
The Riptide had an incredible initial and sustaining accuracy. These changes should keep the first 4-5 shots of the weapon highly accurate but reduce the ability of players to hold down firing with perfect accuracy well into their magazines. The Riptide will continue to reward players who can consistently land headshots but now players will be punished for missing headshots, by needing to stop and reset their aim.
Conviction
- Falloff Range 1: Distance changed from 20 meters → 15 meters.
The Conviction has exceptionally high falloff ranges. This change is in order to bring its first falloff range down a bit to be more in line with most other weapons available.
Fixed Issue
- Removed a source of player cheats & exploits
Lancer Fall Event
Quick & Quaint
For the next week, log onto Rogue Company to receive Lancer for FREE, as well as 2 Supply Drops just for playing!
Bounce House Update
Today, we’re releasing the Bounce House update to add some silly fun to the weekends while bringing up some Rogues’ balance & fine-tuning weapons. As previously shared, we’ve extended some content like the Ranked Season & Event Pass out till later this year, when we plan to do a larger update. This will include a new Event Pass, additional balance adjustments, and the refresh of a map missing in action. We’re excited to share more as we get closer to that update! Until then, let’s bounce into the current changes:
New LTM: Bounce House
This weekend-only mode features Rogue Company in a more arcade-y less punishing light. Players take significantly less damage from all sources. Rogues are equipped with impact grenades that knock back enemies on an ultra-short cooldown and a baseball bat that will yeet your opponents off the map. This map features King of the Hill on Rooftops. Unique abilities and other weapons are disabled in this game mode. For the launch of the update, Bounce House will be live during the initial week! Good luck staying on the point!
Balance Changes
Rogues
Fixer
- Ability Cooldown: 45s ➡️ 35s
- Epic Padded Steps ➡️ Epic Crackshot
- Cluster Smoke: 60s ➡️ 20s Cooldown
Fixer has been struggling with win-rate for an extended period of time. When he’s not used as a direct counter to high-armor foes, his kit struggles to keep up. These changes are directed at increasing his general utility in matchups against a broad set of rogues. The dramatic change to his smoke grenade cooldown should give him a much stronger ability as a Defender to hold down lanes and stall pushes, and give him a higher chance at being able to achieve his full kit synergy in single-life game modes.
Sigrid
- Passive: 20% increased movement speed while crouching ➡️ Global 10% movement speed increase
- Sigrid’s identity as an athlete translated oddly into crouch-moving faster. As the most athletic rogue and a rogue that would benefit greatly from better capabilities breaching to a point, we hope this change will allow her to use her athletic prowess to beat her opponents to points and synergize with her shield ability to give her the ability to juke lethal gadgets and close gaps more effectively.
- Rare Blaster ➡️ Rare Armor
- While Legendary Bulletproof helps her sustain damage later in the game, this will give her a chance to bulk up a bit earlier and be able to affect the game earlier on without getting shredded during her initial breaches.
Sigrid has been struggling with being a viable rogue and sits at the bottom of our rogue pool in terms of win-rate. She’s challenged when she attempts to close gaps versus lethal gadget-wielding foes and as a breacher, there’s a deep conflict there compared to Rogues who have kits that help them in those scenarios.
ViVi
- Stage Presence: 30s ➡️ 20s Cooldown
- Gadgeteer Perk ➡️ Energized Perk
ViVi’s ability is strong when initially popped but rapidly fades. The shorter cooldown capabilities we’ve added here are directed at letting her experience the initial power spike of her ability more often and reduce the time between those spikes.
Weapons
D40C
- Rate of Fire: 600 ➡️ 670rpm
We previously reduced the fire rate from 750 → 600rpm, this partial revert should help it be in a more competitive state.
Tyr
- Base Accuracy: 0.7 ➡️ 0.9
The Tyr falls short in almost all metrics when compared to the LR15 Fullbody. By changing its hipfire accuracy to allow for close range & some mid range flexibility, it should have more utility than its counterpart to compete effectively during close and mid range combat. Under 15 meters, players should expect to be able to land hipfire shots, and above 15 meters it should be rare to hit one.
Devotion
- Headshot damage: 80 ➡️ 86
- Bodyshot damage: 47 ➡️ 49
The Devotion struggles compared to peers in the DMR category. This is a first attempt at bringing up its viability. We will be monitoring the effects of this change and looking to continue to buff it if it remains a less viable option.
S12 Tactical
- Initial Falloff Range (8m-15m): (0.7
- base damage) ➡️ (0.8
- base damage)
This weapon can’t hit as hard or fire as fast as some peers, so to help give it a relative strength we are buffing its mid-range damage.
Knight
- Initial Falloff Range: Distance changed from (8m-17m) ➡️ (12m-17m)
- Initial Falloff Range: (0.9
- base damage) ➡️ (0.75
- base damage)
The Knight feels good right now and we don’t want to change that, but we observe that it’s close and mid-range TTK beats every assault rifle in the game; defeating the purpose of assault rifles. We want it to still be a strong relative choice. It’s TTK will be unaffected from 0-12m, but in the 12-17m range it will hit as hard as the assault rifle class instead of stronger than that class.
Hydra
- Fire Rate: 300rpm ➡️ 273rpm
The Hydra is by far the dominant assault rifle in the game and this change should bring it more in line with its peers.
Fixed Issues
- Updated our anti-cheat engine
- Added some fixes that have reduced the frequency of player names not loading.
- Fixed issue with ViVi skin using Trench voicelines.
- Fixed issue with Scorch’s passive not applying Fire damage for contracts.
- Fixed issue with Ronin’s knife not counting for daily contract. Temporarily, all Ballistic Knife damage will count towards these contracts.
- ViVi’s overheal does not qualify as heals for her daily contract, players healed by her ability must be at less than full HP to count towards the contract. From player feedback on the difficulty of this contract, we have lowered required heals from 50/75/100 → 20/30/40.
Known Issues
We are aware of an issue where players names appear as blank when loading into some matches.

Greetings from Evil Mojo
As this is our first time properly introducing ourselves, we’re Evil Mojo! Some of you may know us as the development team behind Paladins & Realm Royale, but many of you probably discovered us for the first time when it was shared that we had merged development responsibilities with our sister studio First Watch. We appreciate your patience while we have been going through the merging process and figuring out what the new combined studio will look like. It’s been quite an adjustment for us as we learn from some of the Rogue Company devs on the team, but it’s a challenge we took head on with the release of ViVi. We've been excited to see all the love for her & are honored we could bring First Watch's hard work on her into the spotlight.
We know some of you have been frustrated by a lack of communication since our arrival, so we want to share what's happening with Rogue Company. To address any immediate fears: We're still supporting and updating Rogue Company & will address key community issues that occur. We have people working on the game today as we speak. However, we're a small team with multiple projects, so there will naturally be changes from the traditional Rogue Company cadence you’ve had in the past. There will be slower updates, with more emphasis on balance and QoL, the first of which should arrive in the coming month. This leads into our general development goals for the game.
Our goals for Rogue Company are to maintain the current version of the game you all play, with no more sudden shifts or massive overhauls to the core systems. We know that the game has had plenty of large changes throughout its life, and every player has their favorite era. If you enjoy Rogue Company as it is today, it's going to stay that style of experience. We’re still dedicated to improving & preserving the integrity of the game, as well as keeping things fresh. We're aware that may be a bit of a bummer for some, but we want to be transparent about our focus on supporting the existing community and players. You all are what keep Rogue Company going with your passion, and it's our job to help ensure you can continue playing into the future. We still are cooking up some helpful balance changes headed to the sandbox, and a few small surprises up our sleeve for the future.
Evil Mojo
Rogue Company ViVi Update
Vivi, a rock star with exceptional talent and widespread fame in the music industry, bought her way into Rogue Company by providing them with valuable intel on a Jackal infiltrator. Her proactive, impulsive, and adrenaline-fueled personality is infectious and inspires her Rogue Company teammates to push beyond their limits and achieve victory.
[Designer Notes on Gameplay Experience]
ViVi is a rockstar rogue that’s ready to shake up the scene by rallying her team during engagements and then sliding through the frontline and shredding with her Dual Boyar SMGs. Stage Presence allows ViVi to boost her allies’ health and movement before breaching a position to give her team the edge, or while breaching to help give those allies some breathing room. Smooth Moves will help her slice and dice the combat field and quickly make her presence felt during a team fight!

Year 3 Season 1 Ranked Season
It is the first season of the year and we are opening with some changes, features and great rewards! This Season will run until the end of 3.4. Read on to see what we’ve done for ranked to see why.Ranked Access Requirements Updated
]In previous updates, players only had to reach level 10 and have access to at least 10 Rogues in order to play. This was noticeably too low of a requirement and created situations where players who weren’t quite ready for the skill-gap when jumping in that early. Therefore, we are enacting the following changes:
- Ranked now requires Account Level 25 and ownership of 12 Rogues to play
Draft Pick Bans Increased
Additionally, in a match we are updating the number of bans available to each team up to 2 Rogues. This results in a total of four Rogues to be banned out of a match. That is an entire team composition! It’ll be exciting to see how players will plan around this change to Draft Pick.Year 3 Season 1 Ranked RewardsThis Season we continue the trend of offering better tier rewards for our most devoted and high-skilled players that grind and compete in Ranked! The following Ranked Rewards are what you can gain by competing and being the best.
- Get Ranked Contract Reward: Demonic Gaze Epic Avatar
- Gone Rogue Contract Reward: Shiny and Chrome Cannon Outfit
- NEW! Top 1000 Rogue Ranked Players: Rainbow Dust Dima Legendary Outfit
- NEW! Top 500 Rogue Ranked Players: Brimstone Sahara Mythic Weapon Skin
- NEW! Top 100 Rogue Ranked Players: Rogue Demon Mythic Title
Rogue Company Ranked Leaderboard (Coming Soon)
In the first step of rolling out version one of a feature that was most requested by our players, we are introducing the Ranked Leaderboards. In this first version, players will be able to view the leaderboard on our official website either by directly visiting in their browser or clicking a link/QR code found in game. This leaderboard sorts by your Rogue Points that you continue to accrue as you play ranked games after reaching Rogue Rank. This leaderboard will reset at the end of the season after we reward the top players with their exclusive ranked rewards for being the top 1000/500/100 players. We are excited to watch this leaderboard closely throughout the season to see who truly are the top players in our community!Player Level Uncapped and Progression Rewards
This update also comes with yet another request frequently made by players which is raising the player level cap:- Max Player Level Increased from 550 → 1000 We will increase the level cap again at a future date with more rewards!
New Map: Highcastle Omega

- Custom Strikeout & Demolition
- Practice Strikeout & Demolition
- Ranked Strikeout & Demolition
- 6v6 TDM

Balance Changes
RoguesIn this update, players will see the return of a gameplay role: Intel. This role specializes helping their team to gain information on enemy positions to turn engagements in their favor. They sit in the middle of the spectrum between support and duelist, gathering intel while also being able to hold their own as they put themselves at risk for their team. We’ve done this as it opens up a creative avenue for how we approach a collective of rogues that have similar toolsets and opens the door for new intel ideas for the future! You’ll see a good number of rogues that used to have this role step back into it and some of the newer rogues assume it as well. Some of these Rogues require little-to-no changes as they’re already well-equipped for the task.Intel Rogues- Dallas

Weapons & Gadgets
LMGs LMGs are getting an identity adjustment, these weapons are heavy and powerful weapons that take considerable effort and technique to wield. For their identity we are exploring the idea of all LMGs possessing the accuracy behavior that the Conviction has paved the way for and will balance LMGs, both current and future, in this unique accuracy type. Additionally, we are considering that the huge firepower of this weapons also come at a slight mobility cost when compared to their smaller caliber/capacity siblings. Let us know what you think!
- MLX Maw The Maw is currently overperforming and will receive additional adjustments overtime to bring it down to manageable levels. Between the Identity adjustment and the removal of an upgrade piece, we’ll observe and make adjustments as data comes in.
- Base Weapon Headshot reduced from 24 -> 22
