Campaign
The Jungle Inferno Campaign requires the purchase of a Jungle Inferno Campaign Pass. The ConTracker PDA has also been introduced, which allows customized contract progression and the Mercenary Park Gift Shop. Friendly Fire is also now possible, which allows players to play against their friends and help each other in completing contracts if the two players are in a party.
Day 3
Day 3 revealed 4 new weapons for the Pyro, a kill taunt for one of the new Pyro weapons (the Thermal Thruster), a lunchbox item for the Heavy, and changes to the flamethrower.

|---|---|
Pyro |
 Changed: Airblast hit detection for both players and projectiles is now a consistent cone

| Changed: Airblast strength increased
| |
 Changed: Airblast now causes the target player to have reduced footing and air control for a short period, rather than losing all control
| |
 Changed: Airblast now factors in the momentum of the Pyro and target, giving both more control over the interaction
| |
| Changed: Airblast now factors in the upward angle of the airblast, rather than having a fixed upward force
| |
| Changed: Afterburn duration now based on how long the flamethrower was actively hitting an enemy
|
Tweaked Weapons
| Class | Weapon | Changes |
|---|---|---|
Pyro |
 Flame Thrower + Variants |
Changed: Better visual sync, more consistent (no visuals/damage mismatch)
