Shinobi

v1.1 Update — Watch Your Step

Michael D'Souza

A new mechanic has arrived in Free-for-All and Team Deathmatch: jars.

As the round heats up, jars begin appearing across the map — and they keep coming. Watch carefully. NPCs will bump off them. Players will smash straight through.

That's your tell.

In a game where everyone looks the same, the longer the round goes, the harder it gets to hide. Build your mental map. Track the movement. Figure out who's navigating around obstacles they shouldn't know are there.

And if you do break one — there's a chance it's carrying a shuriken or smoke bomb. So sometimes the loot is worth blowing your cover.

What's new in v1.1:

Jars spawn dynamically in FFA and Team Deathmatch, starting ~18 seconds in, with new batches every 18 seconds NPCs bump off jars; players break them on contact Jars have a chance to drop a shuriken or smoke bomb on break
