We are here to introduce two new craftable weapons.
These two weapons use rocket cartridges, and both are powerful as it gets.

[h2]Thumper[/h2]
-Type: Rocket Launcher
-Ammo: Rocket Catridge
-Damage Type: Explosion
-Damage: 160
-Piercing: 0%
-Building Damage: 900%

Thumper is effective in attacking enemies simultaneously in open areas.



You can craft Thumper on the Plasma workbench with required resources: Accelerator (craft), High resistor (loot), Energy core (loot), Terrasite Concentrate (craft/create).



Thumper is equipped with a quick rate of fire and long range rockets which can effectively be used to defend or raid bases.

[h2]Rokita[/h2]
- Type: Rocket Launcher
- Ammo: Rocket Catridge
- Damage Type: Explosion
- Damage: 220
- Piercing: 25%

Rokita, with its tremendous building damage, can effectively be used to destroy bases.



You can craft Rokita on the Plasma workbench with required resources: Accelerator (craft), Pure iron (loot/create), Energy core (loot), Terrasite Concentrate (craft/create).



Rokita is very easy to use, you will be able to demolish most bases with it.

Now, with these two rocket launchers in hand, engage in more powerful and intense battles with other survivors.

Please wishlist and follow Dysterra for more updates and information.
We will come back with better and improved Dysterra next week!

Thanks survivors!

We would like to introduce a new way to use vehicles and traps you will face on our 2nd beta test.

[h2][Changed way to use a vehicle][/h2]
Over the world, there will randomly be “DYNAMO with no tires” along the road, unlike the previous world, survivors cannot drive it immediately. Restoration system has been added to drive DYNAMO only with crafted vehicle tires.


After equipping “Vehicle Tires”, restored vehicles can be refuelled through maintenance menu(F HOLD) and you can also restore decreased durability from the damage done by other survivors.




Can make DYNAMO with no tires re-drivable again.



It is a consumable Battery that is used for refuelling vehicles.



Vehicles can be fixed using bolt, Sensor, Wire in proportion to decreased durability.


When durability has been completely damaged, DYNAMO turns to “Broken vehicle”, and cannot be driven anymore.
Few resources are obtainable through unusable “Broken vehicle”


[h2][Guide for new traps][/h2]

1. Two new turrets
two new turrets are added each using different types of ammo.


Automated defense turret using light ammo.



Automated defense turret using shotgun slug.



Automated defense turret using energy ammo.


Turrets can be installed with different types of ammo. Therefore, turrets are able to react differently to other types of ammo/armor being used by intruders.


2. Two new base traps are added
Originally, there were only traps that are shaped in squares. Now,
two types of triangle base traps have been added.



It is a transparent floor that can be installed up on the ceiling. Please note that it cannot be installed on the ground or foundation.



Electric Floor can be installed right on the ground or foundation.
Depending on its electricity consumption settings, damages vary along with it.


You can trick and get rid of intruders with a combination of these two different types of trap

3. Installments for base management
These updated installments will help survivors to manage their basecamp better.


Garage doors can be installed at the edge of ceiling enabling vehicles to go in and out.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Survivors can not only use this garage door for DYNAMO, but it can also be used for different purposes as well. For example, you can put your storages inside these garage doors.



It is a device managing the installed machines all at once.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Crafting, fixing, and power management of all the installed machines inside your base can now be controlled by this device all at once.



The machine that survivors will find the most important. Method of using this ‘Terrasite Exchange Transmitter’ will be explained through another post before the test begins.


Please wishlist and follow Dysterra for more updates and information.
We will come back with better and improved Dysterra next week!
