Monthly Update 6

Scope Creep

It's the most frightening time of the year, and the demons have been particularly active of late. In this update, we're including a new tool to keep the horde at arm's length, alongside a whole host of fixes and improvements to stability.

New Weapon: The Seer

Do demons feel fear? We don't know. We'd need to see what's going on inside those spiny little skulls. Fortunately, that part's pretty easy. And it's about to get easier still.

A joint effort between Bartov and the Scholars, the Seer is our first long-range weapon. Equipped with a magnifying scope for dead-on accuracy, the Seer fires high-penetration bullet-bolts which can fell a whole line of demons in a single shot. While its low rate of fire and long reload time make it scary to use up close, it's a terrifying tool for clearing out corridors or providing support to your fellow Reavers.

The Seer can be pulled from the Nest, so head into the game now and give the demons some perspective.

General Improvements

We've spent much of the spooky season tackling the scariest of bugs: players should see greater stability in multiplayer matches, since we've squashed a bunch of disconnection problems, lobby UI display issues, and optimisation bottlenecks. Performance and stability remains a focus for us, as always. You can help out by reporting issues in the discord, or by using the 'report bug' button in the game menu.
