7/12/24 - Chaos Chain Update 1.49.0 (New Companion)

Chaos Chain


Attention, freelancers!

Here is the next update for the game. I realize this is a bit smaller of an update than usual given the timeframe since the last update, but there have been some things going on that have prevented me from getting more done, unfortunately. I'm releasing this so everyone can use what I've got ready to go. I didn't get nearly as much as I wanted to done, but I'm going to try making up for that over the next couple of weeks. Check out the full change log below!

This update does come with a new companion: Lace.

Lace's Background

Lace's Stats Starting Off

Lace's Starting Equipment

Lace's Augmentations

*Please note that these changes are not in any particular order.*
