Recent Progress

[h2]Money System[/h2]
Money has been added to the game and is earned by completing cases, bounties and finding it in the field.

The tablet has been updated.

The FOB PC has also been updated.

Collectible cash has been added.

[h2]Bounties[/h2]
Bounty contracts have been added to the FOB PC and can be taken on to earn money between cases.

Bounties can be found in the bounties folder on the FOB PC.
They show up randomly and can be replayed as many times as you want.


[h3]You're probably wondering what all this new money is good for.[/h3]


(It's this)
[h2]Loadout Whiteboard[/h2]
A new whiteboard has been added to The FOB. You can use it to organize your loadout for cases and bounties.

The whiteboard lists all your chosen items and remaining money.
Only the host can choose the loadout.

Your loadout can be found inside the tan military crates at the start of the case.

At the end of a case or bounty, all players will be rewarded and the host will have their loadout refunded.
However if you lose or abort, your loadout costs won't be covered.

[h2]Gadgets[/h2]
Gadgets are a new class of item that can be used to hunt, lure and kill monsters.

Ground Sensors are used to detect sources of movement and display them on the map.

The map screen will show the location of detected movement.

Traps can now be baited and will lure monsters to them.

A mine and many new grenades have been added. Frag, Flame, Stun and Molotov.

The Minigun is an automatic turret that engages any non-human life it detects.

The Tactical Decoy is a state-of-the-art top secret device for luring any and all monsters.

Night Vision is good for hunting in dark forests or pitch black interiors.

[h2]Furniture Customization[/h2]
You can now customize different areas of the FOB in different themes.

These are only a handful of the available options. More areas can also be customized.

[h2]Body Camera[/h2]
A new Body Camera has been added that enables a more immersive experience.
It also includes a useful zoom feature when aiming while not holding a weapon.
