Custom inventory When you start a new game you always have to craft your favorite gear and to tidy your inventory. It's getting worse with higher starting levels. Now you can customize your inventory and save it. You can do this right after you left the carrier, but you have to s
Sawgun As you know the original single sawblade has been replaced by 3 sub-blades. Each of these sub-blades deals half the damage of the former single sawblade. This results in 3 x 0.5 = 1.5 times the original damage. But this was unnecessary. The sawgun should be a beginners pan
Dear space scavengers, I balanced some lower level weapons because the chiselgun was way too dominant. The chiselgun is ok but the other weapons don't have clear advantages or they are even dangerous to you. Sawgun I always wanted the sawgun to be a real beginner's weapon. Just s
Many item descriptions have been edited in order to turn them into helpful statements. This applies to weapons, devices, single-use items and consumables. Also the class of the selected item (single use item, consumable etc.) is displayed in a separate line. In addition the craft

1. Intro The second scene of the intro showed the wreck of your carrier and you could read the text: And every scavenger makes an unexpected find. This has been replaced by a longer scene which shows how your carrier is trapped by the void and when you discover the freak accident
1. Loot You may expect loot now dropped from killed opponents. The bosses always drop flotsam (orange marked rubble) containing 2 or more items. You can pick it up later unless the void collapses on the spot. The common attackers only drop loot rarely. Rule of thumb: The bigger t
Screen shake a) Getting hit Note: screen shake affects zoom (z-coordinate) increased by factor: 3.3 b) Recoil, depending on weapon Note: screen shake effects position (x/y-coordinate) Increased by factor: 4.0 Sound adjustment Ok, this is not an "ears bleeding update". I kept the

I got in contact with the gaming press. That turned out to be a very nice experience. But read for yourself on Rock Paper Shotgun The author is Sin Vega . For the Reviews section on the store page I picked the following quote: I like the plinky planging sounds when you fire big m
