Community Update #3 - Enhancements
This week we're here to talk about some general improvements and enhancements we're bringing into the next update of Primal Carnage: Extinction!
Stat-Track items are a bit of an unloved area of PCE. Initially we wanted to make Stat-Track items feel a bit more special and unique by having them only drop from limited crates.
Since we added them, we've found that players haven't engaged with them as much as we expected. So we're going to be adjusting how players get Stat-Track items. From our next major update, Stat-Track items will be craftable using Stat-Track DNA Strands, which will have a small chance of being the 2nd item dropped from crates. Use them like a normal DNA strand and the resultant item will have Stat-Track applied to it!
We're also looking at a way to bring Stat-Track onto human weapon skins.
With the addition of the progression system and challenges, one of our goals has been to provide a better summary for players at the end of a round for how they did. We've been working on mocking up an example of what a new end-game screen might look like in the next major update, which includes challenge progress, unlocks and a match XP report! The below image is conceptual only and may not represent the final look and feel.
We've added a secondary slot for Dino Cosmetics, meaning you can wear earmuffs and a collar at the same time!
We're continuing to add more assist types to reward teamwork and working on improving some of our in-game notifications for ammo and health support
Finally, the level cap will be further increased in the next major update!
Our next open testing session is still a few weeks away, but please join our Discord Chat to get notifications of when our new builds come out for testing!
