Some information about what is going on with Beta nr 13
We should have known that if we had a Beta nr “13” things would go wrong. We have seen the feedback and the issues, we’re working on the bugs and hope to have them solved soon.
Here is a rundown of the bugs and some explanations behind changes that have been made.
Features that are coming very soon but wasn’t in this update:
“I want 3 Weapon slots and splitting weapon stacks back!”
The third weapon slot and splitting weapon stacks are both coming back and were always planned on coming back.
Changes we will make:
Remove auto equip for attachments. Maybe keep it on a separate key, or by holding down the pickup key.
Changes that would be cool:
"I would like the inventory to be auto-sorted. Like meds and stuff are always in the first slots no matter what.”
We have seen this feedback a lot and will look into it!
Changes that are intended and will stay andy why:
We know that it’s hard to embrace change, here’s some feedback we have gotten and our reasoning behind the changes.
"But what bothers me, even more, is the design decision to have only a certain number of general slots. I think this is the worst design decision of the whole update."
Being able to carry infinite amounts of items removes interesting player choices, as well as often resulting in a confusing and messy experience of most players always carrying too much stuff, making it hard to find what you're looking for in your inventory.
Players being able to carry unlimited amounts of items also means that the map gets very empty of loot after the start of the game, putting respawning players at too much of a disadvantage.
"I don't like having only 3 grenade slots"
The grenade slots still have some missing functionality and some bugs causing it to be less of a smooth experience than what it will be like when finished.
The goal with the 3 grenade slots is to solve the issue where a player has too many grenades to effectively keep track of them and swap between them effectively.
Having to press the grenade button 10 times to get to the grenade you want was not an uncommon occurrence.
We will also change the way grenades spawn as loot. We intend to make grenades spawning rarer, but make grenades spawn in pairs of ~3 meaning you will have about as many grenades. Just fewer types of grenades at the same time.
Some of the bugs we are looking into
All the audio bugs: we’re looking into the reverb, collision sounds, loud sounds, missing sounds, audio cut out, volumes, distance, and echoes among other things.
Barrel attachment glitch.
Dupe bug.
Swapping weapon issue.
Still being able to pick up items despite having a full inventory.
Grenade hotkey issue.
Stacking grenade bug.
People shooting while downed.
Inconsistency in dropping items.
Everyone getting the same blessing bug.
Gun duping.
Ghost gun bug.
There is also a bunch more, you can always report bugs in the forums or by emailing support@landfall.se
We hope this post explains our decisions and what we’re working on. Thank you for your patience as we’re fixing the bugs.
Please keep bringing us feedback in the Steam forums, the discord, or by emailing info@landfall.se.
BETA Test nr 13 is live!
BETA Test nr 13 is live!
A new inventory has been in the works. While it's not 100% complete it's time for it to be beta tested!
The inventory will change over the coming weeks as we polish it. It's also currently missing the following features but they will be added back in:
- The new inventory is currently missing a third weapon slot, so only the 2 big weapon slots are in. - You can currently not split item stacks but this will also return soon.
Changes:
- A NEW inventory UI. - Changed to you can no longer shoot while using healing items - Removed damage movement slow - Changed some areas on the map - General Bug Fixes - Some WIP audio changes
Make sure to restart steam and verify the integrity of the game files.
In 2019 we posted this announcement talking about the future of the game and what was going on. A lot of things have happened since then and since about a year back we’re finally working on the game again. It's been amazing to see people participating in the betas and the player count going up once more.
For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with the Betas here’s the rundown of what will be in the free to play update coming later this year.
TABG Free to Play update will include the following features:
Completely remade map with a bunch of new areas.
A bunch of new weapons, attachments, and grenades.
Blessings
The game now has buffs called "blessings" that the players can find, these blessings improve the player's character in some way.
For example:
More movement speed
Extra air jumps
Faster fire rate
Your bullets light your opponent on fire if you shoot to the beat of a song
You regain health when lying down
Curses:
You can be brought back to life by your teammates if you die. You do however return to life with a "curse". These range from mild drawbacks in combat like slower bullets or a bigger body, to silly limitations like not being able to look to the left.
Limbo
When you die early on in the game you get a chance to release by surviving a skydiving minigame where you need to avoid falling pillars and get to the end in time. Depending on how well you do in this minigame you either don't return at all, return with a curse, return normally or return with random blessings.
Levels
The player now gathers XP when playing which allows the player to level up. Gaining levels lets the player choose a different color for their name, and will most likely also reward cosmetic items.
UI and UX redesign
The game's UI has always been pretty clunky and hard to use for new players, we are working on completely redesigning from scratch.
Catchphrases
Each player gets to select a sequence of 3 words that they can at any time announce when playing. The player can also select the voice that these words are said in, as well as change the pitch of the voice.
Performance, stability, and bug fixes
The game has also gotten a lot of work put into fixing bugs, improving network stability, and improving performance as well as updating the anti-cheat.
Brawl mode
The Brawl mode is still coming to TABG but we have decided to postpone the implementation of the mode until sometime after the free to play update. When we relaunch the game it’s important to us that the player base isn’t divided more than necessary in order to ensure full matches. We still want the mode to be available further down the road!
Classic TABG
If you hate the changes and love classic TABG we will either have a server or beta branch available with the classic version. If you want to play it right now when we’re running a beta you can do so by using the beta code: PLAYTHEOGTABG
If you have any questions or feedback please post it in the steam forums or by emailing us at info@landfall.se

The beta is currently on the main branch, but the game will go back to normal after the beta is over.
This beta runs the same version as beta 12 except for some increased stability and bug fixes.
FAQ:
When will the big F2P update be?
We currently don't have a release date set but most likely sometime next year.
