Preliminary Patch Notes - United Allies Update

PREVIEW PATCH NOTES

Hello Marauders! We decided to surprise you with a Preliminary Patch Notes, in advance of the update coming up next week! Once the Update becomes available, you will be able to enjoy all the juicy details and changes but for now, enjoy this preview of some of our favourite new content updates!

[h2]Colony Cruiser[/h2]

We are adding a new raid location! This colossal space frigate patrols the cold reaches and is our first location that is enterable via ship docking AND pod breaching. Track it down and dock to start raiding for precious loot.



[h2]U.A. Marines[/h2]

United Allies faction enemies have entered the fray bringing with them unique equipment such as Sherman plate armor and Heavy m1 helmet. On top of that, you can kill them to unlock their full appearance sets!



[h2]VOIP and Voice Packs[/h2]

Proximity voice has been activated so now you can taunt or negotiate with other Marauders to your heart’s content. If you’re more the strong, silent type, work to unlock a wide range of new voice sets instead.



[h2]Ship Shop[/h2]

Now with almost 20 ships to obtain (up from 6), it’s easier than ever to buy and sell warships through our new Ship Marketplace system.



[h2]Salvaging[/h2]

Space wreckage can now contain ‘Salvage’ - a resource which can be brought on board your ship through your airlock system, so you and your crew can rummage for more loot, including destroyed breacher pods. But be careful not to stay in the airlock for too long...



[h2]Gameplay Mechanics[/h2]

A wide range of new features to experience have been added from explosive barrels, to combat enhancing stimulants known as “spice” for temporarily pausing stamina. This includes new ways to earn loot, such as in-raid supply vendors and others that will remain a secret… for now.



[h2]New Weapons[/h2]

Outside of the new frigate turrets (75mm, 25mm and Dual Rockets) we have the Stoner 63, the China Lake and Mini Thumper. We are also re-implemented 3 grenades, the Scrap bomb, Flash bomb and Smoke bomb.



[h2]Scopes![/h2]

First stages of implementation for scopes are in this update, for the SVT40 and M16.



[h2]Combat Balancing[/h2]

Hip firing no longer suffers from camera recoil and is purely spread based. SMG style weapons will benefit the most with a tighter spread bringing them closer to a viable “meta”. The other significant change is that players will now deal a headshot multiplier of 3.25 (up from 3) to other players, hopefully this will have the TTK be deadly but still reward players that hunt for better armor and weapons.



[h3]That concludes our Preliminary Patch notes! Stay tuned for April 25th, we can’t wait for you all to experience the United Allies Update![/h3]
