New Beta Content Available + BC Tournament Winner Crowned!
First off, huge congrats to our Backyard Colosseum Tournament champion, Rogdhor. You might recognize Rogdhor’s name from the TASTEE community guides, or from winning our previous community event, the Daily Mission Deadliest. Rogdhor played masterfully in the finals, taking out two of the best TASTEE players in the world in clinical fashion. You can watch us break down the matches on Twitch, or view the in-game match archives - a must-watch for anyone looking to up their tactical skills! As the winner of the tournament, Rogdhor will be receiving a custom 3D-printed TASTEE trophy. Congrats also to 2nd place winner, ashley89, and 3rd place winner, ubq! They’ll be receiving custom prints featuring the TASTEE roster.
With the Backyard Colosseum Tournament wrapped up, we have some great news to announce regarding content! The beta version of the next map is now available in the TASTEE Elite branch! If you’re not part of the TASTEE Elite yet, join here! It’s free, and you’ll get access to new content first! The new map takes place deep in the jungle and is an absolute playground for people who love grenades. It’s still in beta, so if you catch any bugs or have any suggestions to make it more competitive, let us know!

We have a brand new TASTEE: Lethal Tactics DLC map available - The Backyard Colosseum!
About:
Located right across the TASTEE diner, the Backyard Colosseum is where mercs cut their teeth and train between missions. What better place to test your mercs’ skills than a modern day scrap yard Colosseum? This arena is filled to the brim with tight twists and turns where scrappy battles quickly erupt. Prepare to battle for each step you take in this claustrophobic setting!
The Backyard Colosseum has
A combination of tight corridors and long lanes to benefit every unit
Unique randomization options for each section of the level
Breakable barriers everywhere for surprise shotgunners
Explosive barrels to light a fire under your feet
Pick up this DLC to challenge your friends or battle the AI in this new TASTEE setting! Get it here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/600320/
DLC note: Without the DLC you will still be able to play the new map in two ways:
The map may come up randomly in a Quick Match.
Someone who owns the DLC map can challenge you to a match in it.

New Community Event + Free DLC Key Giveaway!
Hello Lethal Tacticians!
We’re excited to announce our next community event, The Daily Mission Deadliest. We want to find out who in the community is the most deadly when it comes to the Daily Mission challenge. So if you didn’t make it to last month’s tournament, or if you got wiped out and want a chance for redemption, or even if you won the tournament and want to prove to the scrubs that you’re still the boss (we’re looking at you, ubq), this is your chance to get a sweet prize!
All you have to do to participate is sign up to the TASTEE Elite (if you haven’t already) and play the all of the Daily Missions from Monday, February 6 to Friday, February 10 (five missions in total).
We’ll take the average of each player’s scores across those days and the players with the top 3 highest averages will get a TASTEE t-shirt, with the #1 player getting a shoutout on our store page banner! We’ll also give a t-shirt to the player who gets the highest single score for the week.
You have a nice two weeks to practice your tactics and we’ll be releasing a guide very soon sharing tips on how to get the top score on the missions. There’s also many players sharing their tricks in our Discord channel, and you also also watch us play through daily missions on our Twitch channel.
**To celebrate this awesome event we’re giving away 1,000 (yes, ONE THOUSAND) Blackout Skin Pack keys over at our website. Getting one is as simple as signing up to our mailing list.**
That’s all the news for now. Thank you very much for your ongoing support and we look forward to seeing who is the deadliest!
The TASTEE ROYALE Results are In! Your 2016 Champion is ubq!
We've just finished our first ever tournament, the TASTEE ROYALE, and it was not only a showcase of the best tactics around, but also a great glimpse of how awesome the TASTEE community is.
The tournament was a series of single-elimination cage-matches, while the grand finale between community members —and best TASTEE players— TorQue[MoD] and ubq happened in a Bo3 format that took them to Laredo Junction, McAllen Plaza and Wild Acres Ranch.
We had total of 16 participants from all over the world: Japan, Spain, Russia, Germany, China, Czech Republic, Paris, and many more! They all came together to showcase their abilities and take home the cool prizes we made just for the occasion. Here’s what the winners are getting:
1st place: ubq - TASTEE 3D-printed trophy, exclusive T-shirt and concept art print signed by the TASTEE team. His username also gets to appear in the game’s banner!
2st place: TorQue[MoD] - Exclusive T-shirt and concept art print signed by the TASTEE team.
3rd place: TheNameIsBob and Sukhoi - Concept art print signed by the TASTEE team.
Shout out to community member Wizaro Elementaro, who helped set up and maintain the bracket!
TASTEE devs Byron and Jeremy showcased every match on our Twitch Channel - Tune in today at 3pm PST where they will be having an additional raffle for everyone who signed up for the tournament.
If you feel like you missed out on all the fun or want another shot at being the best Lethal Tactician —and win exclusive prizes—, we’ll be holding another tournament in Spring 2017, registration is now open. Sign up for the next tourney here: http://tasteegame.com/spring-tournament/
Once again, big thank you to the participants for being so awesome and giving us the best TASTEE matches yet!
See you in the diner,
