Listen up you lot!

This week we spent some time making the world of Hunters Inc. feel a bit more fleshed out and lived in. In update 3 you'll find:

• Orc Attachments! Orcs now look significantly more orc-y
  
• New Fracture actors with improved destruction effects. More stuff to break
  
• New environment modules and more foliage throughout
  
• Endemic Life. The world is now populated with some creatures that
• don't* want to kill you.
  

• Improved Hub Spawn Points
  
• Updated visuals on session join screen
  
• Ongoing after after report improvements including animated levelling up bar fill and stat tracking (still WIP)
  
• Stamina tuning. Players start with less stamina and apples now stack up to x2
  
• Improved mission select screen
  
• Padded out the upgrade tree with more things to buy
  
• Clients can now dismiss the after action report
  

• Fix for collider issues with spear that was stuck in enemy
  
• Fixed issue where croco wouldn't get stunned on hitting boulders
  
• Fix for regular spiders not dropping bones
  

• Upgrade screen may not show upgrades for clients after returning to the hub from a mission. In that scenario you can re-host the session and buy upgrades before you depart on a mission.
  
• Occasional issues with save / loading of data after playing multiple missions back to back.
