UPDATE v0.4653 IS LIVE!
A new update for MEAT 2: Absolute Zero is now available!
This update focuses mainly on a complete re-work of Chapter IV: Bauer Expedition and Bauer Boss fight.
The mission has changed. Now your goal is to destroy Bauer’s Base. We also added a new weapon: Rocket Launcher. The fight is still intense, but now it should give players more chances to survive while we are still working on the balance of this fight.
MEAT 2 is also currently 50% OFF during Steam Summer Sale!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: CHAPTER IV SAVE FILES
Due to huge gameplay changes in Chapter IV, old save files from this chapter may not be fully compatible with the newest version of the game.
We are working on a system that will keep save files compatible independently of future gameplay changes. For now, the change was too big. Around 1/5 of all systems connected to this part of the game has been changed, and full backward compatibility was not possible in this update.

WHAT’S NEXT?
Before we update the next part of the gameplay, we are working on optimization, lighting and effects.
The game should run well, fast, smooth and look insane - this is our current goal.
Soon, these improvements will appear for every chapter together with a newer update.
We will also fix more bugs, add several systems, and then continue working on the final polish of the game content when we are sure you have the best possible Early Access version.
Thank you for reports, mails, feedback and patience. We hear you.
