Character visual customization
- We're glad to announce that we've implemented the ability to customize the character, which is available during the creation phase. You can choose gender, appearance and haircut. The possibility to change the appearance of the existing characters will follow in the next update.
Heavy weapon - Minigun
- The first member of heavy weapons has appeared in the game. These weapons are bulky and reduce the character's movement speed, which is easily compensated by the weapon power. In order to get the minigun you will have to sweat quite a bit while gathering resources and rare components, but the result is totally worth it!
