The start of the Gadget rework is here. While I like the idea of picking up items and then upgrading them within a mission, in practice it led to items that felt underwhelming and removed the excitement of finding a new gadget in the world. I think this new system allows for much more exciting perks that have the potential to significantly impact the feel of a run, therefore making finding each gadget an exciting prospect. The theming of these new gadgets also fits the world better, these are supposed to be ‘old world’ tech that you are finding and learning how to make use of, returning them to the order on mission completion. Naturally, there are things still missing in this update, like HUD indicators and fancy FX for many things, but that will come in time. Expect many more gadgets to be added in the future as well. Feedback about this new system would be greatly appreciated!
