Store Update 1.38.0 adds Camo and Black variants of the Torpedo outfit set (granted automatically to owners) and retunes matchmaking to prioritise match quality — which can mean slightly longer queues, especially during off-peak hours and in specific regions and map conditions. The notes also point to the Departure Expedition.
Store Update 1.38.0 pairs a cosmetic drop with a meaningful matchmaking change, and points players at the Departure Expedition — the live schedule and rewards are on the events page.
New cosmetics
The Torpedo outfit set gains two new color variants — Camo and Black — distributed automatically to players who already own the set.
Matchmaking tuning
Embark adjusted the matchmaking algorithm to improve match quality, particularly during low-population hours and in specific regions and map conditions. The tradeoff is stated plainly in the notes: the algorithm may take a little longer to find a match because it is working harder to find you a better one.
