Early Access Week 2 Update!
Hell Byte Studios
Thank you to everyone who has been playing early access! All the discussion within the community has been amazing to see!
This update is our first content addition, bringing in a new gun: the Apostle. The Apostle is a fast fire rate SMG with a mag size to accommodate. Keep an eye out for it, as it's definitely one to look out for when spinning the nest!
Alongside the Apostle, we have multiple gun balance changes, general improvements across the game, and many bug fixes in our effort to make Blood Reaver as stable as possible. Check out the update log for the full patch notes.
