Rebel Base Raid Location
A brand new raid location and our biggest to date. We wanted to try something a little different from our traditional map design, something a little more grounded….. Introducing the Rebel Base! This is the home of the treacherous Raider Guild, a retrofitted mining colony turned into a living, breathing town where the lawless can reside. Complete with a market, bank and street to street housing, you will be learning this location for 70 years!
Due to the sheer scale of the level we will continue to improve its loot pool over the coming updates but for now we hope you enjoy its splendor.
Fortress Base Raid Location
A once devastating example of the Central Empire's military power, The Fortress, acted as a stronghold to the darker parts of the galaxy. Now they have had their supply lines cut and their interiors gutted by the mighty U.A. Marines, including their space commanders, an enemy with brand new cosmetics to unlock.
Asteroid Mine Extension
A rework and extension of the Asteroid mine. Increasing the size of the map and addressing some problems with rushing airlocks. It has brand new points of interests to explore like the enormous excavator. It has also been added to the raider mode map rotation alongside the Merchant ship (replacing the Terraformer and Planet killer base).
AC-14
A Mini 14 style weapon which is a bigger, stronger and harder hitting version of the M1 Para. a 5.56 weapon with a 30 round capacity makes it one of the best in class for semi automatics weapons. Can be found on the new U.A. Commander boss or within the vault.
MK4 Series
This is actually three new guns! MK4 Regular, MK4 Short, MK4 Special
- The MK4 Regular is your bread and butter, it’s going to get the job done
- The MK4 Short is less powerful but fits in your pistol slot
- The MK4 Special is another variant that has a built-in suppressor to the barrel. Its for those of you who want to sneak around and be more stealthy (and hit a little harder)
Mosin Rework and Attachments
We reworked the Mosin to be mag-fed (5 rounds by default). We then went and added 2 new attachments for it to give you the possibility to make it even more beefy:
- Barrel Extension - Which does 2 extra damage
- Extended Mag - Which increases the mag capacity to 10
S.A.S Major
This new boss for the Navy Outpost, comes with their own squad of heavily armored bodyguards. How this new foe arrives is up to you to discover however when you do you will be rewarded with some of the best gear in the galaxy. You can also unlock their cosmetics if you can defeat them enough times.
Reload Animations Galore
We have continued chipping away at the animations for weapons in-game. Focusing on ensuring we have loaded and empty versions of reloads for every weapon (where needed). Loaded reloads will play if you still have a bullet in the chamber and are slightly quicker than a full reload. So be tactical when you next choose to reload, it might just save your life!
Italian Voices
We love having the native language voices in the game. So with this update, we added authentic Italian male and female voice lines!
