Holiday greetings, Responders!
Hot on the heels of our Winter Update last month, Embr’s Holiday update is out now on Steam! Here’s a full rundown of what you can expect...
BoxBox Delivery and Cleanup Gig
With the Holidays coming up, it’s the perfect time to earn a bit extra, and spend it right back in the Embr app! With the Holidays, clients are shopping online and shipping more than ever. We’ve partnered with BoxBox Delivery just in time to offer what our clients can’t have more of - boxes.
With the new BoxBox Delivery and Cleanup campaign, you’ll be delivering boxes to your clients in the nick of time, and also clean up their box waste in the most explosive manner possible. Who needs to recycle boxes when we could just burn them up. It’s much faster. Beware though, while the BoxBox boxes are ultra lightweight, they are also highly flammable. So handle with care!
Vacuum Grenade
The product lab at Embr has done it again! For this Holidays, we are introducing the next big thing in grenades for firefighting. The brand new vacuum grenade removes air and moisture directly from the environment, helping you smother fire, and cleanup excess water. Get it before it sells out!
[Community Choice] Performance Options:
- Allow Reduced Physics Quality
- Should help those of you experiencing low FPS on lower-end CPUs
- Should help those of you with lower-end GPUs
- Will fade out rooms farther away from you, (you’ll see doors and windows in the distance fade to a dark color)
- Low is only recommended for below minimum spec players
[Community Choice] Player Comfort:
