Update 0.4.0 Preview

Hey everyone! We've been working hard for the last few months on Update 0.4.0, which will bring many new exciting features to the game.

[h2]New Campaign Planet[/h2]

After discovering the source of disruption on Titus, our mercenaries find themselves sent to the mysterious planet of [REDACTED], after a signal coming from deep in the uncharted jungle. This all new campaign mission features deep exploration and hidden lore, intense combat with brand new enemies and a small taste of future missions. We will be releasing this level in several parts similar to Lockjaw Prison.

[h2]New Weapon System[/h2]

This update contains one of our most anticipated new features: the long-discussed upgrade of the weapon drop system! Going forward weapons will be divided up between ten different manufacturers, each with their own specializations and families of available weapon perks. This update contains the first two manufacturers to be released: Nazuna, who produce the widest range of weapons but have no high level perks; and Wolf, who specialize in weapons and perks that maximize raw damage output. Now that the backend of this new system is in place you can expect to see new manufacturers released semi-regularly!

[h2]Stryker Skills Buff[/h2]

A damage dealer that doesn't deal enough damage? That's no fun! All of the Stryker's damage dealing skills have received a major buff and will help her better fill the ranger DPS role.

[h2]Overhauled Campaign Save System[/h2]

Saving functionality makes its debut in the Campaign! Create a New Game in the main menu to start fresh with a new character, or pickup where you left off with the Continue button. This is currently available for only the Lockjaw Prison mission. Save game data from the Genesis Space Station and planet mission progress will be added throughout future updates.

That's all for now! Stay tuned for Update 0.4.0 coming soon.
