Hello Intruders and welcome to Update 1337!
Can anybody else say w00t w00t? This update finally features item and weapon dropping from your inventory!
Searching the map for weapons and item management are core to Intruder gameplay. Until now, you were restricted to finding items already placed on the map. With this update, that restriction is gone. You can clear up some inventory space as well as drop munitions for teammates.
Though it may seem small, item dropping could greatly affect the gameplay and meta strategies. A sniper can switch to a defender if they want to make room for a shield. Guards could lend more sensors and charges to their teammate in charge of rigging. An Intruder may be tempted to pick up a dropped SMG on Mountainside, only to find out its a trap.
In order to drop an item, open your inventory screen (keybind: I) and then drag any item out of the grid. It will be dropped on the ground below you. Note that the radio, mirror camera, and lock pick cannot be dropped. Currently, when you drop a weapon, its loaded and stashed ammo will be dropped with it.
This system will change slightly with coming developments. When we implement the new inventory system with the new in-game menu, we will probably separate weapon and ammo into different slots. What do you think though? Does it lend itself to new game modes? How would being able to loot any dead body affect play and how ammo could be distributed?
The following bugs were also fixed in 1337:
- Seeing shield through smoke fixed
- Seeing blood through smoke fixed
- Riverside shutters and sliding window frames don't allow charges or sensors to stick
As usual, the community will be chillin' at the official Discord https://superbossgames.com/chat . Hope to see you there and to see how these new features play out. Til next time!
