From the Hypixel Pit Wiki
The Pit 0.3 was the third major version of the Hypixel Pit. It introduced cosmetic updates to the Elements map, major events, minor events, quests, contracts, additional perks, and other minor changes.
To improve the visuals of the Elements map, the following features were added:
- Leaves and bark to the tree at the center of the map
- Revamped pregame looks and launchers
- Additional launcher destinations
- Sky quadrant revamp
- "Close-quarter arena" between the Sky and Lava quadrant
- Tunnels in the Lava and Water quadrants
- Improved and recolorized terrain
Four major events – Rage Pit, Team Deathmatch, Beast, and Raffle – were added to the game. Additionally, the minor events 2x Rewards, King of the Hill, Everyone Gets a Bounty, and Care Package were introduced. Major events gave players a new way to obtain renown aside from prestiging. Minikloon stated that Hypixel was "looking for new ideas" for events.
The Quest Master NPC was added, providing players the ability to earn gold from quests and contracts.
The update added eight perks bought from the renown shop: Barbarian, Dirty, First Strike, Olympus, Rambo, Recon (at prestige II), Soup, and Thick.
Balance changes:
- (↑) The Mineman perk now rewards 3 cobblestone per kill (maximum of 64). Cobblestone now lasts for (15 → 8) seconds.
- (↑) Buffed the Gladiator perk from (−2% → −3%) per nearby player, with a maximum of 10 players (−30%). The perk will now also display the damage reduction in the sidebar.
