The Withering 2.0.0.7 update is now live!
General Information
Hello everybody! In this update I have included the Camp Management control expansion, character stats expansion, melee and primary weapon expansion and crafting mechanics expansion. In the second part of the update that is scheduled for next week I will be adding a new section of the free roam city map.
New Camp Management Features
The camp management has been updated with Missions interface, players are now able to assign squads and take on different missions directly from the camp interface. Each mission types have different governing stats that are responsible for the mission yield result. With higher governing stats in the squad, more chances apply to gain better mission rewards.
Additionally, the Marketplace functionality has been expanded with Economy type. Players can now select the desired profits from Marketplace trading from ammo, fame, resources or currency.
Crafting Mechanics and Vendors
Players can now craft different weapon and armor types for their characters. Additionally, camp vendors inventory has been updated with new items. A new Dismantling mechanic has been added. Players can now break down resource items from assembly interface for components. This mechanic will be greatly expanded in the following updates.
What Comes Next
The next update will be focused on the free roam city map expansion and quarantine zone design. The QZ will become available for players to explore and engage elite enemies for better loot. I will design the QZ layout and estimate the release date that I will announce with the next week update.
