- 🎮 Raiders Rise V12 – Fewer Levels, More Action - 2 June 2026
Hello Raiders!The V12 update is now available and brings one of the biggest changes we’ve tested so far in the match structure.Starting with this version, matches will go from having 5 levels before extraction to only 3 levels.Yes, you read that right.⚡ Why did we make this change?During the last playtests, we’ve been analyzing match pacing and community feedback. One of the most repeated conclusions was that long matches could create situations where one team’s advantage became too strong over time.When a match lasted five levels, it was common for teams that gained an early advantage to create a “snowball” effect that was very hard to recover from. This also created lower-intensity moments where some players felt the outcome was almost decided before reaching extraction.With the new three-level structure, our goal is to reduce that friction and focus the experience into a much more di…
