Version 2.9.15 Now Available
An update for Primal Carnage: Extinction is now available on Steam!

[h2]Update Highlights[/h2]
[h3]Visual Tweak:
Holstered Weapons[/h3]
A new visual feature we've added is being able to see holstered weapons on human characters!
For example: if a scientist is using her tranq pistol but is also carrying an assault cannon, you can see the cannon attached to her back while it's not in use. Sidearms are a bit harder to see, but both those and primary weapons are displayed on the character's body.
Aside from just being cool, we think this should be helpful in general to sharp-eyed dinosaurs. You now have a chance to see what you're going up against instead of being completely surprised now when they pull out a weapon.
[h3]Gameplay Tweaks[/h3]
One community suggestion we decided to explore for this patch has to do with Tyrants. As of today, they are now body snatchers. If a raptor is pouncing a human, or a Pteranodon has someone in their claws, a Tyrant can bite and hijack that human for themselves to eat.
In fairness to raptors and Pteras, they receive kill credit for the human that was stolen from them.
An interesting side effect of this change is that Tyrants can now feed humans to each other if they're fast enough (both of them receive health)....
Tupa has received a rework to how its impact momentum is actually calculated, leading to a big reduction in vertical knockback when ramming into humans with its head. The distance is about the same, but we think the amount of damage the human feels is a bit more fair now.
Elsewhere, we have continued to address bugs and annoyances such as raptors pouncing people while netted, or it being difficult to ignite acid with the flaregun.
A lot of focus has been on improving controller support as well, with menu sizes and navigation being improved in several key areas. This should make things better both for regular gamepad users and those on Steam Deck.
[h2]In-store: Retro Rotations[/h2]
Easter is now hopping aside to make way for a roaring retro rampage of classic skins, taunts, mutations and more over the next several weeks!

Starting with a Tyrant Takeover, there are ~100 Acro / Rex / Spino items back today with epic discounts! Check back each week as we shine a spotlight on other classic item collections going forward...
You can quickly browse all of the returning items on our Special Trello Board, and preview them in-game.
