Aquanauts, we have a little early Christmas present for you: a patch for Aquanox Deep Descent is live now!
With this update, it's possible to set favorite weapons and navigate through them much easier. Also, we fixed bugs and crashes to make the game run more stable.
Thank you for being with us. We wish you a perfect Christmas with your family and may the next year will be better than the infamous 2020.
Full patch notes below:
- New Feature implemented: Players are now able to favoritize weapons , this gives the players options to go into the Inventory and Loadout screens and select which weapons will be in their preferred loadout (favorites list). Only weapons selected into the preferred loadout (favorited) will populate the weapons list the player can scroll through in-game - thereby giving them more customization options and quicker access to their preferred weapons.
- New Feature implemented: We gave players the ability to cycle weapons backward along with the core favorites feature. It allows the player to use the modifier key with the weapon scroll key to cycle weapons in reverse. This will prevent players from having to cycle through multiple weapons again if they end up accidentally switching their desired weapon.
