June Milestone Update – Tier 1 Complete, New Attachments, Cage Fights and More

[p]As previewed earlier this month, this major patch completes our planned Tier 1 campaign content and brings in several core systems that will define the rest of the game. With it comes a full rewrite of the attachments system, major crafting upgrades, and map improvements—but also a necessary reset of save data.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]⚠️ Save Reset Warning[/h3][p]This patch invalidates all old campaign saves due to major changes in underlying systems—particularly armor, item attachments, and map logic. To experience the campaign as intended, a new game is required. [/p][hr][/hr][h2]
