Major Update – Bandits Update v0.6.6
New Faces, New Voices, New Threats
This is a big one.
We’ve completely reimagined the bandit faction in Plains of Pain. After months of focused work and collaboration with voice actors, we're proud to introduce 11 brand-new bandit 3D models, each remodeled by our team in our signature visual style, and paired with their own unique voice.
They’re meaner, sharper, and fully integrated into the world visually and sonically.
You’ll hear them shout, mumble, and threaten. If you’re quiet enough, you might even notice how their voices change at night. Every bandit now feels like a distinct character. And every fight feels a little more personal.
Major Additions
- 11 Remodeled Bandit Characters All bandits have been rebuilt by our team in our signature Plains of Pain style. These new models carry more attitude, visual identity, and danger than ever before.
- 11 Unique Bandit Voiceovers Each bandit comes with their own voice, recorded with professional voice actors. No more generic grunts. Now they taunt, growl, and react in immersive ways.
- Dynamic Audio Based on Time Bandits sound different at night if you listen from a distance. It’s subtle. It's creepy. It’s intentional.
New Features & Improvements
- Reworked Bandit Loot Tables Bandits drop better and more fitting loot. You asked, we delivered.
- New Loot Container in Bandit Stacks (Lord Baron’s Box) A special locked stash has been added to the second bandit location. Find Lord Baron, get the key, reap the rewards.
- Bandits Repro Audio System (and Explosive Surprise) Some bandit lairs now have active music systems. You can shoot them down, but be careful. They're rigged to blow.
- Chupacabra Audio Overhaul We’ve fully replaced its old sounds with something more natural and more unnerving.
Crafting & Repair Overhaul
- New Item: Makeshift Repair Kit Repair both melee weapons and firearms with a craftable item. Flexible and practical.
- Repair Intel System When a weapon’s condition drops below 50%, the item description will now show you exactly how you can repair it. Use specific parts (like an iron pipe) to restore durability step-by-step. We’ve added more depth and flexibility to the repair system without making it a grind.
Gameplay Changes
- Air-Dropped Bandit Containers Are Now Locked You’ll need to find keys from the Bandit Chieftain and Lord Baron to unlock them.
Fixes
- Meteor impact damage now works as intended.
- Fixed vehicle black smoke not respecting distance fog.
- Fixed incorrect inventory weight calculation when:
- Repairing a gun with oil
- Mixing liquids
- Poisoning a melee weapon
- Repairing with a Whetstone
