Special Valentines Event
A new update is available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam!
We hope you'll just love what we have for you this Valentine's Day...
[h2]February Update Highlights[/h2]
[h3]Gameplay Fixes[/h3]
We're continuing to fine tune things for Flyers after the addition of manual flight modes last update. They now have better blending between hovering and regular flight, and several bugs / exploits relating to changing flight mode have been fixed. There's some additional polish planned for Flyers in future, but things should be a lot more stable now.
Elsewhere, several issues with achievement and challenge tracking have been resolved. So you won't get an achievement for blocking bullets with your dome skull as a human now, and tranquilizer-related tasks should complete properly.
Additional minor fixes are listed in the changelog further down, but the bulk of today's update is our...
[h2]SPECIAL VALENTINES EVENT[/h2]
Love is in the air, we're celebrating Valentine's Day by rotating in a parade of colourful (particularly pink) new looks for you to enjoy!

Having said that... they're not all as loud as Mister Pink! We also have some slightly more reserved styles arriving today, such as the Rugged Rex and Risen Novaraptor...

Although we simply couldn't say no to an Anomalocaris Hat- this weirdly adorable (if slightly creepy) new head warmer is now available in-store...

In addition to the new looks, there are two fresh taunts added today!
Check out the Spinosaurus Display Taunt and Ceratosaurus Defensive Roar...
And of course all of the legacy Valentines items are back at a discount for the duration of the event. Share the love with a classic Valentines Gift, showering up to 24 other people on a server with items!
[h3]New FREE Drops![/h3]

A collection of new drops are activated today, from the blinding Pink Paws Burst Rifle to the terrifying new Torvus Cerato mutation. As well as new looks, we have a selection of fresh sprays and avatars dropping as well, such as the totes adorbs Raptor Heart:

You can view all of the latest special event items on our Trello board!
[h3]Paint Mixers Availability[/h3]

We've expanded the ways you can obtain Paint Mixer Tools! These are the single-use items required to save your custom look when using the dinosaur colourizer. They're still available on the in-game store, but are now tradable and can be obtained as free drops.
With this change, you now have the chance to acquire Paint Mixer Tools during regular gameplay, or by levelling up, and by completing challenges. Just as a reminder, any multi-pack of paint you buy in-store comes with a Paint Mixer Tool included as well.
[h3]Until Next Time![/h3]
We'll be continuing to make more minor changes and fixes throughout spring while we prepare to relaunch Primal on PlayStation. Thankyou for your patience.
