Welcome to patch 1.2.1! This patch is dedicated to features that make it better to be a duo, including a new Fuse, a duo matchmaking system, and in-game voice chat for duos. We believe 2XKO is better with a friend, so try these features out once we’re live.
As always, the game will be down starting from 9am PT when the patch drops on May 12. You can always check the status of the patch [here](https://status.riotgames.com/2xko) or in the 2XKO client. Online matchmaking will become available once maintenance is complete. In the meantime, you can still play in [Offline mode](https://support-2xko.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/43585800112019-2XKO-Offline-mode).
To access Offline mode on console, you must disconnect from the internet before launching 2XKO.
New ContentNew Fuse: Teamfight
Teamfight is a new Fuse that lets BOTH champions on a team fight simultaneously for seven seconds.
Activate Teamfight by pressing :2xko_T: + any normal attack (:2xko_L: / :2xko_M: / :2xko_H:). Once you’re both onscreen, it’s time to whale on your opponent with everything at once.
You probably have questions. Here are the rules for Teamfight.
- Teamfight can only be activated on the ground.
- You can cancel attacks immediately into Teamfight activation.
- While Teamfighting, your champions can use Supers, but not Ultimates.
- The team using Teamfight won’t generate meter while it’s active.
- Teamfight lasts for seven seconds, but when Teamfight champions are hit, the timer is reduced based on damage dealt.
- Teamfight ends instantly if a champion is hit by an Ultimate.
Also, while Teamfight is active, the Assist champion has special restrictions:
- All their attacks count as mid.
- All their attacks will come from the same direction as the Point champion’s attacks, similar to how Assists work.
- They cannot throw.
Teamfight can be unlocked by completing the associated tutorial in the Learning Hub.
Find Duo
You can now find a new duo partner in the 2XKO client. When you’re getting ready to play, select the plus sign (+) and navigate down to the “Find a Duo” option. This will pair you up with another player looking for a duo.
Once you find a partner, hop into the lobby together and start building your synergy.
Duo Voice Chat
In-game Duo Voice Chat is here, just in time to accompany the Find a Duo system.
This is turned off by default. To enable it, open Settings > Text & Voice Chat, then turn on “Duo Voice Chat.” After that, you’ll automatically enter an in-game voice chat whenever you partner up with someone who also has the setting enabled.
Remember, there’s no push-to-talk—your mic will be hot as soon as you enter Duo Voice Chat.
Replay Takeover
You can now take control of either team while watching a Replay. Load up a Replay, pause it, then press the Takeover button. Press Takeover again to reset. Practice strategies from past matches, and one day you’ll block that wack mix.
Season 1 Ranked Rewards
Patch 1.2.1 comes with a Ranked reset, which means that Season 1 Ranked Rewards will be sent within the first week of the patch. You’ll get an exclusive sticker and player title based on your peak rank in Season 1.

Players who have reached a peak rank of Diamond or higher will also earn an avatar outfit.
Speech-to-Text
Since Duo Voice Chat is coming to this patch, there’s also a new accessibility option that converts voice chat speech to text. Enable it by opening Settings > Accessibility.
System Changes
We hotfixed both Break and Fury shortly before this patch. You can view those changes [here](https://2xko.riotgames.com/en-us/news/game-updates/2xko-patch-115-hotfix-april-23-2026/).
In this patch, we’re making another adjustment to Fury to make it more intuitive, and we’re reducing the Assist cooldown after a champion dies.
