    What's YOUR favorite update of all time? By the way, for this list I'm not counting new seasons!
  • @Jo-be3pp
    I think the Zero Build update definitely deserves to be here. Without Zero Build, I don’t think the game would be as alive as it is now
  • @ssturgeo4185
    I thought that zero build would be up here somewhere. So many big streamers came back to the game and started playing it. Zero build was so needed because everyone was so good at building and editing, that people who didn’t spend 8 hours a day playing creative might struggle. Sprinting and mantling is also huge.
  • “The only thing we can fly” Hackers: that doesn’t sound new
  • @lokkedtv5058
    My own honorable mention - the update that reversed the butchery of turbo build in season X. Without that the game definitely would have lost at least some of the playerbase
  • @Dair_y
    Forgot to mention the update where they added sprinting and climbing, every player not uses those in every fight
  • @NotMat2
    Amazed that you didn't include the season 2 map update. When it dropped it was the first major change to the map and brought in a bunch of new POI, including tilted.
  • @aniagadi7120
    I think the 7.40 update deserves at least top 5 in this list. I think that if this update didn't launch the game would've had a chance to die . We got so many needed patches to weapons like planes not destroying buildings anymore, deagel doesn't destroy one-shot wooden bulids anymore, traps now automatically placed with the bulid, you were now able to choose if you want to use zipline, etc... We also got the catch LTM, gray\green\blue Infantry rifle (although it was very bad at the start because it had projectile bullets), and we also got the valentine version of crossbows. Finally, we got a huge thing: SIPHON IN PUBS. In addition, we also had the share the love creator 4x boost, which motivated so many creators that left for Apex (that was the time when it was made popular for the first time), to come back and stream the game and bring back a bunch of people to the game. This update literally transformed the game by 180 degrees, from one of the most unbalanced eras of the game into one of the most fun ones.

    Every day is brighter when SypherPK uploads✊
  • @scora0918
    The guided missile launcher was such a cool weapon! I remember when it came out 🥺
  • @RoyaleLav
    Love the metal umbrella fit today Sypher!
  • @JasonTronik
    This is one of the coolest video you and the team came up with SypherPK.
  • @ZeroVoidd
    I really hope the guided missile launcher gets added to Creative eventually.
  • @mxsticfn453
    so close to 6 mil, keep up the good work 💖💖
  • @theevla7847
    If I hear "iconic" one more time.... LOL, another great vid Sypher
  • I personally think that turbo build is most important. No turbo build we'd be shot and just stand there not knowing what to do.
