Icarus Week 193 Update | New backpack options on Armor Stands

Week 193 is here, and this week we’re adding new backpack-specific functionality to the Armor stands, to make using the ‘hot-swap’ feature more simple.

Notable Improvements:

• Added Great Hunts boss respawn time to C0NT4CT device's 'Bosses' tab
• Fixed Heavy Flamethrower unintentionally consuming large amounts of biofuel for Alt attacks
• Added interaction prompt to collect all dead player inventories inside of empty boss arenas
• Improve overall visual quality on Low/Medium Anti-Aliasing settings

This Week: Armor Stand improvements

The addition of Armor Stands in Week 180 was well received, but a few unexpected issues cropped up that we wanted to address this week.

Backpacks were being included by default in the ‘Hot-swap’ functionality, which meant that excess items were being dropped on the ground if there was a difference in inventory capacity and slots. Not only was this messy, but it also meant you’d have to spend time re-organising your inventory system, something that defeats the whole purpose of ‘hot-swapping’ gear for efficiency.

To address this, we’ve added a new toggle option titled ‘Swap Backpacks’ which you can set to either include or exclude backpacks as part of the hot-swap functionality. This toggle can be found in the inventory UI screen for the Armor stand, just below the ‘Swap’ button.

This will be set to ‘disabled’ by default, and the setting is per armor stand, not per player. This means you’ll need to set it up the way you want for each armor stand, and check your teammates haven’t changed it also.

Next Week: Carbon Fiber signs

Next week, we’re adding a new Carbon Fiber signs set, for something a little more modern to decorate and signpost your base.

Your support makes these updates possible.
