Update 2022.1: Reward overhaul and new skill icons
Dear skippers,
We are back with another news about update 2022.1.
This time, we wanted to tell you about upcoming changes to the rewards granted for completing the campaign objectives. Previously, it was mostly budget, reputation and milk cow submarines. We always felt that this wasn't motivating enough to complete them and reworked that aspect completely for this release. Most campaign objectives now grant completely unique rewards that aren't possible to receive otherwise.
Some of these rewards are special perks for your crew that simulate the unique experience granted by completing the mission. Imagine being on a German u-boat sneaking under the sea at Gibraltar Strait, hearing propellers of enemy destroyers above your head. This is a life-changing experience and we wanted to give it such meaning for your crew in the game too.
Other missions will unlock new tasks on the HQ map or grant unique fame to your u-boat. We won't spoil anything here, to let you discover all of that for yourself soon!
We've also created brand new icons for all skills in the game. The new icons are much prettier and make the skills much more satisfying to unlock.
We also wanted to give you a friendly reminder that tomorrow (12th October) around 16:00 CET streamers will receive an access to update 2022.1.
If you are interested, please take a look tomorrow for Twitch streams using the link below:
