We released an update today containing 20 achievements, changes to the Combine resource system, one new 8 player map "hlw_jungle", balance changes and bug fixes. To see the list of achievements, head over to the achievements page.
After feedback from the community and discussion within the team, we decided to remove the scrap resource from the Combine faction. Now, Combine once again have two resource types: Requisition and Power. The Power resource can be gained through either power generators or by placing a special version of the power generator on scrap piles. The last one generates Power at a much higher rate than the regular power generator.
The changelog for this update is:
