Are you a fan of G.I. JOE ? If so, SMITE has a new crossover event where you have a chance of acquiring six unique skins inspired by the characters from the iconic franchise!
The six skins on offer are:
- Baroness Neith
- Scarlett Neith
- Snake Eyes Susano
- Storm Shadow Susano
- Cobra Commander Hou Yi
- Duke Huo Yi
Aside from new skins, two cosmetic bundles are available to roll from the G.I. JOE chest. Here’s a rundown:
- Cobra Player Title
- RETREEEAT! Death Stamp
- G.I. JOE Avatar
- G.I. JOE Player Title
- G.I. JOE Recall Skin
- Versus Level Up
- G.I. JOE Loading Screen
- Yo JOE! Jump Stamp
Just like the previous event in SMITE, you can unlock a special cosmetic bundle if you’ve obtained all items from the G.I. JOE crossover event!
Anyway, the developers overhauled the game HUD in the last major update. However, you might find that some of the changes are not to your liking. Don’t worry, a new option is included in Update 10.4 that allows you to switch back to the old interface. This new toggle can be found in the UI settings.
It’s worth mentioning that the game defaults to the new HUD on PC and the old HUD on console.
Patch Notes
- Leaps vs Persistent CC
- Leaping into a persistent CC area will now deal damage or apply any other effects of the leaps landing effect
- Previously, leaping into these areas would CC the leaping god and negate any damage or other effects from their leap ability
- Root Cripples
- This effect is now its own unique type of CC
- This effect now has a unique CC Debuff Bar Icon
- This effect applies 1 stack of DR
- This fixes a variety of issues where roots or cripples applied at the same time could last different durations and create mismatching CC effects
- HUD Update
- No new HUD features will be available in the Old HUD, including the Console HUD editor
- More Navigation and Design improvements for the New Console HUD will be the top priority in future updates.
- Multiple issues affecting performance related to FPS or Network lag have been implemented, and will be monitored closely at launch. If performance still struggles in 10.4 we might disable the HUD again
- HUD Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where multiple HUD elements would move together while editing
- Removed the Ability Icon border flash that occurs at 1s remaining cooldown time
- Fixed an issue where some kill accolade popups would be overwritten by more recent kills. These will now queue up and show all kills, as the old HUD used to
- Fixed a variety of localization issues
- Increased the size of the font for the console abilities screen and abilities pop-up
SMITE Update 10.4 is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
