[h2]New Faces with Emotions[/h2]


Today we are shipping Faces and Emotions Update. This is not just to make game more realistic — we worked out a decent way to add more faces and characters to the game, so expect more enemy updates in the future!




[h2]Helmets, Armor and Clothes[/h2]


[h3]Helmets and Armor[/h3]

• Armor now blocks 30% of damage.
  
• You can shoot the helmets off.
  

[h3]Clothes[/h3]


New UI elements added to Enemy Generator. Now you can select from different color schemes when creating your unique fighter.


[h3]Updated Spawner in Sandbox and Arenas[/h3]


You can choose if enemies are allowed to use armor and helmets or not.


[h2]Gore Updates[/h2]

New effects for melee bladed weapons — now wounds look more realistic.


[h2]Performance Improvements[/h2]

• Reworked enemy spawner and bot pool, now it should not lag on wave start.
  
• Dismembering enemies won't cause as many performance drops as it used to.
  

[h2]COVID attacks GexagonVR[/h2]
Previous pandemic years were quite kind to us, but right now most part of our team is in bed with 39°C (102 °F) fever so this probably will affect the updates we planned for February.

Stay safe!


[h2]Temporal Limitations[/h2]

• Removed Explosives, will bring them back in Explosives Update in February.
  
• Enemy jaw is not destructible.

Hi all!

We want to thank every one of you for choosing our team and our games. This was a big year for our small team and Hard Bullet would not be so good experience without those who support us with purchase or feedback, by making new video or just comming to our Discord to say "Hi!"

We've prepared some awesome things for 2022 and to celebtare it's beginning we are rolling this holiday update.

Happy New Year and have fun!

GexagonVR team.


[h2]Explosives[/h2]


This holidays we are adding new explosive mechanic that will evolve during further Hard Bullet development. Meet Rockets and Bombs.

They can deal brutal damage to enemies and also work with Ammo Workshop and Welding Tool so you can create new fun situations in the Sandbox.

[h3]Rockets[/h3]
Warning! Those rockets move chaotic and unpredictable, do not use indoors!

• Press Trigget to ignite.
  
• Release from your palm to let it fly.
  
• You can also ignite it with a gun shot or explosion.
  

[h3]Bombs[/h3]
Explosions can dismember enemies and push the nearby objects.

• Press Trigger to ignite.
  
• You can also ignite it with a shot or explosion.
  

You will find all these new toys under the tree in the Sandbox or on the wall behind it.


[h2]Carrots as weapons[/h2]


Bringing back carrots as weapons — there are few different types and forms that will spawn randomly in the armory.


[h2]Thank to Youtube creators[/h2]

We want to thank Youtbers who constantly record and have been creating Hard Bullet videos like crazy — your endless creativity inspires us and helps us bring more light to our game.
