Intravenous 2 News

Version 1.4.4

Hey folks!

This patch primarily focuses on fixing several issues that can occur when using certain mod combinations.

BASE GAME CHANGES
- fixed a crash that occurred related to patrol paths, in very rare cases on mod maps

MODDING CHANGES
- fixed a crash on startup caused by certain mod combinations
- calling render:addCompileableShader with an identical shader name will now remove the previously-added shader of the same name (to prevent crashing in other parts of the game, for example when changing vsync or resolution)

Remember to report any issues you run into!

Mod Showcase

Hey folks!

Ever since Update 1.2 the game has supported Steam Workshop, and thus modding in general.
The community has been hard at work since then, and with Update 1.4 I wanted to make certain aspects of modding in new weapons easier.

With that said, here are 10 mods I think are a great example of the modding community's efforts.

#1 - Arena Shootout

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3548922353

The recently-released Arena Shootout incorporates a wave-style custom campaign into the game.
If you've ever wanted to shoot waves upon waves of baddies - this mod will provide just that.

#2 - Customization+

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3473178672

Does exactly what it says on the tin - adds new weapon mods to the existing weapons present in the base game.
If you've thought some weapons were missing certain weapon mods, or could use a certain type of scope - this mod will be right up your alley.

#3 - Honey Badger Remastered

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3443561786

This mod adds the Honey Badger chambered in .300 Blackout.
Believe it or not, during the development of Intravenous 2 I was considering adding this exact weapon, but decided not to.
In any case, more weapons don't hurt nobody!

#4 - Extra Mutators

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3532010478

The difficulty mutators system was first introduced in Intravenous 1 in its 1.1 update.
This mod adds all sorts of gameplay-altering mutators, and while not recommended for your first playthrough, is an excellent way of spicing up your consequent playthroughs with some bizarre mutators.

#5 - HK416

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3506330855&searchtext=

The base game does feature the HK417, however it does not feature it's smaller-caliber sibling - the HK416.
This mod adds this exact rifle model, with a ton of various customization options, as you would expect.

#6 - LevelPlayStatsMod

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3457136488&searchtext=

This mod adds a handy extra panel to the pause menu, which shows various info to help you better navigate levels.

#7 - AK12 & AK-15

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3372884769&searchtext=

If the game's included AK-103 and AK-107 variants are not enough AK flavor for you, then I have great news - with this mod you get two more AKs!

#8 - AMT Hardballer

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3489769201&searchtext=

If, for some reason, you are bald and have a barcode on the back of your head, you ought to get this mod installed, right now.
I figure that in your case without its presence in the game, nothing feels right.

#9 - Minigun

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3474052846&searchtext=

If you wish to throw game balance out the window, and just go crazy - this is just the mod for you.
Or maybe

#10 - Kraken Imports

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3482577368&searchtext=

And last, but not least, an entire weapons pack, which, at the time of writing, adds no less than 6 new weapons.

So that's that! These are not all the mods available on the Workshop, but merely mods which I believe add more spice and flavor to the game.
If you're coming back for a replay, I insist you take a look at what the Workshop has on offer - it's extra playtime, courtesy of the community.

Hey folks!

This update tweaks several aspects of the game.

BASE GAME CHANGES

- russian localization updates
- goons will no longer react to elevator doors opening/closing
- added missing localization for Mercenarism level names

OPTIMIZATIONS
- minor CPU optimizations to reduce CPU spikes when a lot of things are happening at once

MODDING CHANGES
- decor, prologueactor, and follower class NPCs have been made to never log hearing player-made noises as noise

Realistic, punishing stealth game Intravenous 2 adds new missions in free update

In many stealth games, from Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell to Hitman, you are the danger in the shadows. Being spotted in the Batman Arkham series can lead to a fast death, but your enemies are still more afraid of you than you are of them. Intravenous 2 makes stealth feel not like an advantage, but a necessity. You aren't slipping through the darkness to strike the fear of god into your foes, but because you'll be killed in a flash if you don't. Ruthless and intense, it gets my heart pounding in ways that few games manage. Now, for its one-year anniversary, developer Explosive Squat has delivered a free update and mini-expansion, and you can even grab it at a discount.
