What awaits us in the upcoming “Amusement Park” update?
Hello there, survivors!
Update 0.12.00 “Amusement Park” is scheduled for next week, September 24! This means that it's time to briefly talk about the main changes and new features that await us.
We remind you that all the new features described in the “Developer blog” are not final and may be changed before they are implemented into the game or may not make it into the game at all.
New season "Amusement Park"
A new season starts along with the update. In this season you can get objects for building your own range right in the test drive zone as you level up! All those who dreamed and asked us about the opportunity to build their own obstacle course, create a funny structure or add special devices that will allow you to measure the DPS of a certain weapon and the collision force when your vehicle collides with the enemy's - that's all for you! And we are sure that you will find many more different applications for this innovation. For example, we can't wait to see what our best Wasteland engineers are capable of.
One of the interesting innovations is that now, with a battle pass, levelling up above the maximum level during the event is more practical. For each subsequent level obtained, you will receive a special container from which you can get 3 objects for construction on your range. More completed tasks -> more experience -> more containers and, accordingly, more objects for construction! > >
In addition, as part of the event, you will be able to unlock recipes for a new legendary cabin, a new homing missile and new wheel of epic rarity.
New Brawls
With the release of the update, the “Storm Warning” and “Free for all” brawls will be temporarily removed from rotation and replaced with new brawl “Head - On!” and "Cannon Fodder".
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that “Storm warning” and “Free for all” are removed from rotation TEMPORARILY. They will be returned when we finalize the rules of participation and make the necessary changes to the gameplay. Right now, we are not satisfied with the trend towards inaction in modes and teaming up players against those who want to fight in these brawls. Patches and rewards associated with these modes will also become temporarily unavailable. If you are in the process of completing related tasks, we advise you to hurry up and complete them before the update!
In the “Head-On” brawl, only contact weapons and saws can be used as weapons (remember that spears are not “Contact weapons”, but “Explosives”, and vehicles with them will not be able to participate in this mode).
Only vehicles with course, turret or plasma cannons will be allowed into the "Cannon Fodder" brawl.
In both brawls, the survivors will take part in their armored vehicles. There will be no preinstalled armored vehicles in these modes.
In the future, these brawls can be replaced by new ones, which will have their own rules and restrictions. This way, all players will be on an equal footing, and victory will depend on the skills and ability to assemble an armoured vehicle. This mode change is planned to occur in major updates, or perhaps more frequently.
Brawl “Race”
In the update, the “Race” mode will also be divided into races for cars with wheels only and only with hovers. During one time window in the brawl schedule, only one type of race will be held on one of the available maps.
The new brawl schedule will also be published with the release of the update.
Maps
In the "Amusement Park" update, destructible objects will appear on all PvP maps available in rotation. Now the battles will become even more lively and filled with different events!
And those who like to stealthily get close to the enemy should be especially careful, because environmental objects scattered in all directions can instantly give out your location on the map!
We draw your attention to the fact that 3 maps will be TEMPORARILY removed from rotation with the update:
- Ship graveyard: the map will be redesigned for the new realities of battles with destructible objects.
- Old Town: A complete redesign of the map is planned.
- Fortress: we are also planning to rework the visual appearance of the map.
Balance changes
Plasma gun “Quasar”
- The durability is planned to be reduced from 597 to 535 pts.
- New perk: "Every 100 m distance to hitting the target reduce the reload time by 17%."
- The reload time is planned to be increased from 4.5 to 5.5 s.
Grenade launcher “AGS-55 Impulse”
- Explosive damage is planned to be reduced by 17%
- New Perk: “After 5 successful hits, damage of the next projectile will be increased by 50%. Each miss cancels one successful hit. ”
“Mandrake” Howitzer
Now, if the tilt angle of the Mandrake's barrel is too small relative to the horizon, a warning sound effect will be played play. In this position, the howitzer will fire only 1 shot (instead of a barrage of 5 consecutive shots).
Changes for “wedge” vehicles
Compared to the last test, one change is planned:
Now the effect of cars with hovers on the “wedges” will depend on the proportion of other chassis installed on the vehicle and touching the ground.
- For example: if the vehicle has 4 hovers and 1 wheel that does not touch the ground, then such a vehicle will not affect the “wedge”.
- If the non-hover chassis touch the ground, then only part of the car's mass from above will affect the craft from below, depending on the share of “non-hovers” in the assembly. If the craft has 4 hovers and 1 mechanical leg that touches the ground, only ⅕ of the vehicle's weight from above will affect the vehicle from below.
Black Wings and Amusement Park Updates on PlayStation 4
Unfortunately, due to technical issues, the Black Wings update was not released on PS4. It is possible that the Amusement Park update will also be slightly delayed. But the PS4 players won't be left without the Ravens event and new relic weapons!
We plan that the “Raven's Road” event will begin sometime after the Season's 3 Amusement Park start. We will inform you about the beginning of the event additionally in a special announcement. The production of new relic weapons will be available with the release of the “Amusement Park” update.
We will do our best to get the update out as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding!
See you in the “Amusement Park” update, Survivors!
