My Contributions

DISCLAIMER: I'm not allowed to display the specifics about the code or implementation due to NDA restrictions.

Team Assets Swapping

Assets and UGC are swapped according to user preferences. All team-specific aspects of the map are changed without delay.

Drip Rewards

Shards are gradually dropped as the player depletes the opponent's health. This keeps the player engaged and committed to finishing the opponent.

Portals

Portals are scattered throughout the map for quick access to the hub. The hub also has a portal that sends the player to their previous zone.

Locked Vending Machines
