Icarus Week 187 Update | Prometheus Tool Perks Added to Inaris Set

Week 187 is here, and several workshop items are receiving perks previously only seen on Prometheus exclusive tools.

These include Obsidian, Cold Steel, and Miasmic bonuses and improvements to the Inaris set, which is bought from the Orbital Workshop with Red Exotics.

We’re also talking about Great Hunts, and what you can do to be ready to jump in and start on day one.

Notable Improvements:

• The Mission Selection UI has been updated both visually and feature wise. You can now see any blueprints, workshop items, talents and other rewards on the button itself with their own tooltips or when clicking into the mission and seeing the preview screen.

• The Contact device has been updated to include new images on backgrounds and a more cohesive look.

• Removing Armor from the Hammerhead slug boss as it was not meant to be used in that manner.

Coming Soon: Tackling Great Hunts

Before Great Hunts launches, we thought it would be helpful to talk about the difficulty level and how you can prepare yourself to hop right into the new content when it releases.

Great Hunts will have you venturing through all biomes across each respective map for every campaign tree. This will mean you’ll experience both ends of the temperature scale, so having specific outfits prepared will give you a leg up on those who only bring one.

These mission chains are also long and fraught with danger. Medical supplies such as splints, elixirs and bandages are necessary, along with ample food to replenish your health and stamina.

We also recommend over-planning for your ammunition supplies. You might burn through your stocks quickly, and for non bow users your ammunition isn’t recoverable. Weapon repair Kits and the basic supplies for a pop-up shelter can also be handy.

This content is considered fairly end-game and not to be taken lightly. High-level characters and well-planned teamwork will make it far more manageable.

Tier 4 gear is likely to be the most effective, but a well-planned strategy with Tier 3 gear can also be successful. Plan accordingly, and get hunting.

Next Week: Firewhacker

Next week, we’re making some long-awaited improvements to the trusty firewhacker, an icon of Icarus.

This will include improved firefighting performance (specifically versus forest fires), increased extinguishing area, and longer foliage reignite times after being put out.

Your support makes these updates possible.
