Keep an eye on our Discord for more updates, and we can't thank you enough for your unwavering support. If you're feeling festive, sharing Hellsweeper with friends this Christmas would mean a lot to our team.
Now let’s get down to this long list of stuff…
CO-OP Acts increased from 1 to 3
We heard you! Many of you have been asking and waiting for an extended Co-Op experience and we’re finally ready to roll it out. Along with new acts, we’ve also added Roulette and Tribute missions.
We’d also like to extend our gratitude to those who took part in our Extended Co-Op BETA. Your feedback has allowed us to make Co-op a longer, more complete experience.
NEW Boss: Treachery
There’s more to face than the ghouls and mooks that appear in Hell - they’re not the only creatures that need to be cleansed. Behind the fog, there lies an enemy one must face: themselves.
Treachery brings in a brand new experience to those who want it. However, he’s elusive, and will only appear to those who actively seek him. We’ll drop a clue for you: he likes to keep his invitations in chests.
Beating him unlocks something else too, which will be spoiler tagged in the notes.
NEW Weapons & Blacksmith
With great responsibility to cleanse hell of its errant demons comes great power.Meet the Blacksmith
Just a little to the left of the Hall, a new ally has appeared. Eternally bound to the forge, The Blacksmith is forever tied to his job in life and death. The Blacksmith is now the place for you to rank up and augment your weapons and adjust your loadouts. He doesn't have much to say but rest assured, he does his job well! Loadouts can now be set before beginning your runs so if you want a specific set of weapons, you can do that!
Speaking of weapons…
NEW Weapon: Tempest
For those looking for that high rate of fire, we have added in a new weapon: Tempest. While unable to be held with two hands, the Tempest is perfect for those who like a snappy, rapid fire gun.
The Tempest has the following features:
- Does not have alternate fire, but has an overheat function.
- After firing a certain amount of bullets, the tempest will automatically be infused with fire and enter overheat mode, similar to infusing your weapon with an element.
- Overheat mode reduces the fire rate of the tempest
- When infused with volt magic, the tempest fires 3 bullets per shot akin to a shotgun.
NEW MODE: Endless Mode
Want to go down the endless rabbit hole? We have now included Endless Mode where avid Hellsweepers can test how far they can go.
So for those looking for a challenge of wits, constitution and strength, this might be the mode for you!
