**PvP Part 2 is out now** and so are the DLCs;

Packing Heat and Supply Pack: Frontline.

There is A LOT to jump into so we’ll make this brief:

When we did PvP Part 1 back in December we purposely called it “Part 1” as a way to force ourselves to make another one. The PvP Community in Trailmakers is big and contributes to keeping the game alive, so an aiming servo and a new map wasn’t quite gonna cut it.

So today we are releasing Deathmatch, Flak Cannons, and two new underwater weapons for everyone. For those thirsty for more, consider buying Packing Heat for more weapons or Frontline for incredible new skins and sounds. Buying those DLCs actively funds the development of Trailmakers!

Thank you all so much for the hype you have shown for this update as we have been developing it. It has ignited our ambition to maaaaybe do a third one? Anyways, that’s for the future!

At 14.00 today we will be doing some server-hopping live on (https://www.twitch.tv/playtrailmakers) and (https://www.youtube.com/@FlashbulbGames).

So get some Deathmatch servers up and running!

Love you all,

Flashbulb Games

- PIONEERS - Okay, we were really proud of the tutorial we made and we just wanted everyone to see it. But when you skip it now you will no longer be forced into it when booting up the game (please play it though, it’s so cool. It got talking frogs and shit, I mean come on)

- GENERAL - Added Steam Rich Presence to more maps/game modes.
