The largest update has released, introducing several game-changing features, and ultimately improving the game flow! Here's a list with the new gameplay features, and an explanation for each:
- New Game Economy This doesn't mean micro-transactions (they won't be added), this means that depending on the map, time of day (day or night) and depending on the type of run (cash or supplies) you'll get rewards for surviving as long as possible. After leaving, you'll be able to look through the supplies you've found.
- Item Marketplace This will be used for trading supplies or cash for usable items (eg, grenades, armour). Not to be misinterpreted as micro-transactions, this will solely be used for in-game items without any real cash.
- Custom Operations From now on any matches you create are called Custom Operations, this is when you choose the map, the time of day, and the run. This is very similar to the previous matches created.
- Standard Operations A new feature being added is Standard Operations, which is when the game chooses a custom mission with a unique set of objectives. When starting it'll cost your character a fee, however the reward is much higher if finished without being killed. The first Operation has been added!
- Game Extraction Lasting a long time to gain heaps of cash or supplies is a good thing, but you need to extract in order to collect your reward. Simply press the extract key and it'll take your character 30 seconds to leave, however, if you die or quit the reward is lost. Some Operations can disable this for a location instead.
- Disabled Features I'll be disabling the Marketplace and Inventory while i make sure everything else (like the economy) works as expected, if everything is good I'll quickly enable them after the patch is released.
- and Much More! Not only are these changes being added, but there's also heaps of bug-fixes and features I've added from the community discussion. This includes optimisation, a new AK, Med Kits, a new Weapon (Bizon SMG), and much more! See the changelog below, also available in-game:
