Death Scourges – Patch 1.2
Hey everyone,
I am happy to release Patch 1.2, which brings in a handful of new content, QoL, balance adjustments and bugfixes.
New Features
New Game+
After completing the game once, New Game+ becomes available.
Changes in NGP:
All gun craft blueprints unlocked from the start
Greater enemy density
Suiciders now spawn with deadly C4 strapped to their chest
If you have finished the game before, make sure to enter a regular save or start a new game. Death Scourges synchronizes with Steam and checking for the final achievement. If you've already got it, you can restart the game and should be able to enter NG+. Same goes for solo mode.
Solo Mode
A new challenge mode unlocked after finishing the game.
Changes in Solo Mode:
No squad support
Increased enemy spawn rates
Adjusted player damage
Suiciders enabled
No safety nets. Just you against the outbreak.
New Collectible: Tinny, The Cursed Robot
A mysterious robot has appeared throughout the facility.
8 Tinnies hidden across the game
2 per level
Shooting them unlocks unique squad skins
Skins can be selected in the Settings menu
New Melee Collectibles
You may find dummies with melee weapons stuck inside them scattered throughout the game. Picking these melee weapons up will enable you to equip them. You can find a total of six additional melee weapon skins.
