Welcome back, Marauders.
Welcome to our Seventh Dev Blog! Our new development schedule has allowed us to launch our 3rd patch (Plunder 1.2) in the last 6 weeks, and we are seeing amazing results! But full transparency, the Guilds 1.0 update is larger and we anticipate we will need extra time, so after Plunder 1.3 expect a 3 to 4 week gap (rather than 2 weeks). Our goal is to drop Guilds in October! In terms of the previous patch we have received positive feedback on the hit registration change and internally we are finding a massive improvement, so we hope you agree. We also feel our change to hip firing spread was too much/over-tuned so look forward to more tweaking in the next patch. You can watch this Dev Blog recording here!
Gamescom
Me and the team have just arrived back from the greatest gaming event in the world… Gamescom! I’d like to thank all the kind fans who came up to us to chat about Marauders, always great to meet the players in the “real world”. One of the other benefits of Gamescom was getting to try a wide range of upcoming games including some new extractions shooters, which is always inspiring. I personally feel this genre is special, and the more games out there, the merrier! - Mac



Elites In-bound
Today we will be highlighting the upcoming “Elites” currently in production. Much like the Warden or the Red Baron, “Elites” are bosses that will provide a harder challenge, unique item drops and have unlockable killer cosmetics! First one up is the U.A. Marines Commander, as teased in a previous dev blog! This squad leader takes the fashion of a tank captain managing a massive space turret. This will be the first boss that protects a breach only location with his fellow crew mates.







Breach Point
In our continued efforts to have breaching become more fun and dynamic, we are increasing the amount of points a breacher can enter for all ship interiors. The first ship to receive this change will obviously be the Rustbucket and Scout Frigate interior, since this is the most ‘cramped’. It will need to receive the most drastic changes to accommodate for the extra breaching space. As you can see in the before and after images. it adds a good amount of floor space.
