Player Companions
A new NPC has arrived in the Outpost, Ash, the Drone Specialist. He will manage all your drone companions and sell you Drone Repair Kits.
Crafting the first mk. 1 drone companion requires drone blueprints, which can only be looted from rare or legendary chests.
The first drone companion to be added is the K9 drone, a rugged robotic dog built to carry gear and equipped with a swivelling auto-turret for precise combat support.
Mech Enemies
A new enemy type can now be found on all maps: Mechs. Mechs can spawn randomly throughout the map as well as in specific locations. The faction of the mech will depend on the map/location. Mechs will increase in difficulty depending on the map.
Mechs are slow-moving, hard-hitting enemies who fire homing rockets that cut through armor protection.
Level 3 or higher bounty targets will now spawn with a Mech to make defeating them more challenging and rewarding.
Coming Soon
The fourth map, Frostreach, will be arriving by Christmas. It's a snow-themed map with new enemies, new locations, and seven new quests.
