The Final Days v0.21 update is now out! It contains several additions and changes, but the big ones are the addition of pipe bombs and 2 new ammo types!
Here's a summary of the main changes:
- Pipe bombs Pipe bombs are fitted with an alarm which attracts mutants to them before they explode. The alarm angers the mutants so much that they'll focus all their attention to it. This can obviously come in handy, so use them wisely!
- New ammo types
- Spread Auto: An automatic version of Spread Shot. It's not as powerful, but has a larger clip size. Great for clearing away hordes!
- High-Ex: A high explosive round which really packs a punch! Be warned though, it is NOT intended for close range use! ;)
- Tank traps
Added tank trap defenses to most of the maps. They can be handy for holding back mutants for a bit while you open fire on them. They're pretty sturdy, but won't hold out for long against large hordes. - Drop ammo improvement
The "drop ammo" action now throws ammo towards the crosshair position. This should make it a little easier to get ammo to the desired team mate. - Ammo carry change
Previously you could only carry a max of 4 clips per ammo type. But now you can carry a total of 10 clips overall. So you can now carry more of your favourite ammo type. And if your ammo is full but you'd like to pick up a different ammo type, then you can just drop some of another type you're carrying. - Difficulty tweaks
Some people were still finding Final Days too difficult (even on easy mode). So I've made "easy" a bit more forgiving. But I've also made "hard" and "insane" modes a little more challenging for the more hardcore players ;) - Added some screen shake effects (can be disabled under advanced video options)
- Added option to disable ammo auto-switching (under control options)
- Added some "Streaming" graphics presets intended for video streaming/recording (they basically disable the animated field of view effect as it does not compress to video well at all)
There were also many other changes and fixes. For further details, you can view the full changelog on the forums.
