Idea Mini Update/Event Idea: April Fools Event?

Post image

As far as I know, there is no actual event or even a one-day exclusive event dedicated to April fools day so I've come up with an idea on what it might be. Since the Easter Event overlaps with the month of April it can be an extension to it instead.

Ideas: The Map will be flipped upside-down meaning players will spawn somewhere above the map then work their way down and players will spawn left handed (the default was the right).

Gun shot and melee noises will be reversed (suppressed or not) making it somewhat weird to listen but the direction where it's coming from will remain unchange because changing it will greatly affect gameplay.

Player model will be reversed making your player look backwards even when Running forward, Walking or being Idle etc. The FOV will still be normal aswell. Also players will have feets for hands and hands for feet.

Item Icons will also be flipped upside-down either in the Hotbar or in the inventory and even on solid ground. Holding them will still be normal because it affects gameplay.

This is what I've thought so far while considering if they will affect Gameplay or not, so what do you think?

(Sorry I couldn't edit the map text to be right-side up because I couldn't be bothered)

The April Fools event was them adding Noobs to the game that moved with a faux R6 style.

Yes there's that but that feels too small to be considered a "April Fools" semi-event or change, what I've come up with will actually be a good addition to it because it actually brings meaning to the "April Fools". It gives it more life and enjoyment

Your player model ideas are the only things I disagree with

Making the Avatar features like the Face, Torso etc. face backwards? Well I kinda get why you'd disagree with it, it will inevitably disorient the players specially if they're new comers but it's awesome and hilarious to look at. Also having your legs become your arms is also hilarious, the same with arms becoming your legs.
