The new version will feature:
• A new end-game contract called „UXO“ for you to explore. It's a ship in the desert...
• Increased drop rate of cool items in missions by 50%
• Doubled backpack space for mercs to go with the increased drop rate of items
• Changed a lot of values for crafting, armory, currency exchange ratio and other economy factors to get rid of grind
• Adjusted balancing in missions which were more difficult than surrounding missions
• Company can now be reset to start over
• Fuel has been removed from the game
• Fixes for Leaderboards getting stuck
• You can get up to 32 Achievements on Steam
• You can earn Trading Cards / Badges
• Changed contract time of mercs from real time to game time, so you don't lose your team if you are on vacation for a bit
What does the update mean for current players?
1) We are going to stop offering any free to play version on the Steam store as well as through gamigo. We have reworked the balancing to get rid of f2p mechanics and grind (see more details below) and all the other crap that stopped people from enjoying the game fully.
2) Everyone who has previously had an account saved will be transferred to the new servers and can continue to play. YOUR DATA IS SAFE. We will keep everyone's company and progress exactly as it was!
Gamigo users will be getting an update on how this works for them from gamigo;. Steam users who have purchased the campaign pack or any DLC can simply continue to play and will receive the update as well of course.
We sincerely hope that this will allow people to give the game another spin - which also means PvP will become more viable, as it is an extremely cool gameplay experience!
