Howdy, Founders!
What’s better way to start a new year than new game features? We’ve got quite a lot to share today, so read carefully, we shall write this only once ;)How the game got bigger:
- New Hive Type. You can now come across a hive that’s already harvested by the Bolter. Catch the guy to retrieve the samples, and you may even loot a new throwable.
- Special throwables: Slug Bomb and Healing Grenade. The bomb will splash a gluish substance that will slow your opponents, while the grenade will disperse healing mist - just step in it to recover health. Both new items can be looted from the Bolters.
- Boosters are in! Loot Biters and Virals to find consumable boosters that will temporarily enhance your stamina, speed or damage.
- Daily Challenge. You can get up to 100 tokens by harvesting hives in the game. An easy hive brings you 1 token, medium ones are worth 3 tokens each, and a hard hive gets you 5 tokens. The tokens then unlock rewards: Common loot stash at 10 tokens, Epic one at 40, and Legendary at 100. The counter resets at midnight (UTC) every day. You can expect the challenge feature to be expanded in future updates.
How it plays better:
- You can now report a cheater straight from the spectator screen.
- Further improvements to the netcode.
How we squashed the bugs:
- We eliminated problems with missing textures on certain character outfits
- We fixed a rare issue where an incorrect message was displayed when trying to invite friends
- We squashed the bug where it was possible to perform a quick takedown against AI despite having no stamina
- Minor audio fixes
