Badlands Crew News

[p]Hey, Crewmates![/p][p]It’s been a long time and we hope you’re still enjoying yourselves out there in the Wasteland, finding your better selves. We’re very excited to announce the release of a new patch that’ll introduce Seasonal Crew Gear & Weapons, optimisation improvements and other minor tweaks.
[/p][p]PATCH NOTES[/p]

• [p]Seasonal Crew Gear & Weapons. We’ve added seasonal gear for your crew and seasonal weapons for your Battlewagon. Every year, when the season opens (please see the dates below), you may find Caches hidden throughout the Wasteland and each will add a part of the seasonal line-up! Each season provides two different sets of outfits (four pieces of Gear each) and one Weapon. Find all of the caches during the season to complete the line-up, whatever you find you get to keep all year round and whatever you miss you can try again each year when the season re-opens. Happy hunting![/p]
  • [p]Christmas: 1st December-5th January[/p]
  • [p]Chinese New Year: 20th January-5th March (open now!)[/p]
  • [p]Easter: 15th March-1st April[/p]
  • [p]Halloween: 1st October-5th November[/p]
  [p][/p]
• [p]Optimisation improvements. For those of you interested in these details, we’ve made several optimisation changes that will hopefully improve game performance for you. These affect terrain generation, texture loading and blend in particular but also affect UI update checks, the Damage Number spawning system, animation checks and more.
  [/p]
• [p]Other minor tweaks. You may notice a couple other small changes we’ve made; the Blueprints in your Inventory now use new iconography to distinguish if it came from a Faction drop or a Warlord drop and Crew members now perform a distinct animation when repairing the fuel tank.[/p]

[p] Thanks again for taking the time to play Badlands Crew and make sure to let us know how you get on with the new patch over on Discord.

[p]Hey, Crewmates! We hope you're still enjoying conquering the Wasteland - thank you so much for the support so far! We're dropping by with a slightly larger patch this time. Let us help you get settled in as we explain the newly implemented Quality of Life improvements, driving options and difficulty settings.

[/p][h3]PATCH NOTES[/h3]

• [p] Added options to turn off the driver’s ability to automatically avoid obstacles and follow roads. This was following feedback from players that the driver's AI would sometimes behave in an undesirable way around certain environmental objects. With these options, players can now switch to more manual control over the Battle Wagon’s movement.
  [/p]
• [p] Added a QoL improvement to the Crew Facility Upgrades. Previously the upgrades would simply increase the maximum level that recruitable crew members would appear at in the Citadel. The skill points of those recruited members until that point would already be pre-assigned meaning that players would have a hard time acquiring recruits who they wanted to specialize in certain skills (especially towards the end-game). Now when you upgrade the crew facilities – any skill points the crew member would have acquired up until that point will be available to assign to any skill the player wishes (rather than already being distributed). We hope with this change this gives players more freedom to customise their perfect crew!
  [/p]
• [p] Additional text prompts to aid with controller support. This was following feedback where players were struggling to use a controller in certain parts of the game. We’ve now added additional prompts so it’s clearer for players.
  [/p]
• [p] Added 2 new difficulty options: ‘Hard’ and Hardest'. As requested by many players - we’ve now added harder difficulty modes! (You can change this whenever you return to the Citadel.)
  [/p]
• [p] Blueprints are now more readily available in end-game missions if they were missed earlier on in the campaign.
  [/p]

[p]Thanks again for taking the time to play Badlands Crew and make sure to let us know how you get on with the new patch over on Discord.
