Brigador: Up-Armored Edition News

BIG UPDATE INCOMING FOR BRIGADOR

ATTENTION ALL MODDERS

A detailed changelog will come with the update to Brigador: Up-Armored Edition itself, but like with our last update in December 2020, the update is going to affect both the game's assets packfile and reset the global.json to the intended state. This will nullify whatever mods you may have set up or other alterations you have made to the game's data. Click below to find out how to back up a copy of the game.

How to Back Up Brigador
[expand]
The simplest way to back up a modded version of the game is to make a copy of your Brigador folder somewhere else on your computer. By default on PC this is usually

C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Brigador

If you don't know where your copy of Brigador is on your computer, then:

Go to your Library tab in the Steam client
Right click Brigador
Click "Properties..."
Click "Local Files" in the window that appears
Click the "Browse" button

Steam will then open up the folder on your computer where Brigador is located. Copy and paste this entire folder somewhere else on to your machine and it will remain untouched by the update. The overall file size of the Brigador folder (with the modkit included) is typically under 2 GB in size.

ATTENTION ALL NON-MODDERS

Nothing to worry about - but maybe check out the game's existing community compilation within the modkit when you're ready? We have a guide on how to get started, how to make maps, and so on.

We're looking forward to dropping the update to Brigador: Up-Armored Edition soon.

WINTER SALE ENDING SOON + NEW MERCH!

Happy holidays, everyone! Just a quick reminder to you all that the Steam Winter Sale ends on January 5th at 10:00 Pacific. As per usual, Brigador: Up-Armored Edition is 55% off, while the game + OSTs + audiobook bundle is even cheaper.

Outside of Steam we have a whole bunch of discounts going on over at our merch store. In no particular order:

Enter code HOLIDAYS2020 in all caps at checkout for 20% off all products (minimum order value of one patch required). This offer expires January 8th 2021.
New 1/6 Scale Model Busts - check out the first set of Modesto Pires, Ripley Snell and The Auditor 1/6 Scale busts here. Put all three in your basket and we’ll give you 15 USD off your order (N.B. sorry in advance but this discount will not stack with the holiday promotion in one single order).
Low Profile variants are now available for the SNC shirt and patch - and there's also a new corvid patch too.
For the next few days all SNC Skull & Laurel shirt sizes, shapes and colors are available for purchase. That means if you missed out on getting a Medium Red & Charcoal, or maybe you really want a few 3XLs for the winter – now’s your chance.

Minor UI Update Coming Soon

A small user interface update is coming to Brigador: Up-Armored Edition, but we wanted to give you all advance notice, particularly if you have been modding the game recently.

There are no gameplay changes involved with this update. The main change is the addition of a few buttons to the main menu screen that upon clicking will open your computer's default web browser.

[h2]IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ALL MODDERS[/h2]
This update will restore the game's assets packfile to its vanilla state. That means that if you have modded content installed, such as custom pilot profile pictures, then they won't load as before as they will no longer be in the assets packfile. This means you will have to run through the modkit installation process again and make the necessary changes. We strongly recommend that you back up all your modded content and changes made to global.json to avoid losing anything prior to updating the game. Many of our experienced users in our Discord server's modding channel can help you out if you need assistance.
