Hello Miners!
Last week we announced our next upcoming DLC - the DECONTAMINATOR PACK - and as usual we’ve been following along on all your feedback in the wake of it. Turns out a good chunk of you didn’t feel it was up to our usual standards - in particular the titular Weapon Framework itself, and the accompanying Paintjob. We had a bit of a nagging feeling ourselves that this new pack wasn’t up to the standards required of a DLC pack, and reading your comments confirmed this.
Frameworks and Armors are peculiar entities, and what might look super cool to some, might read as boring to others - and especially in the case of DLC packs, we are learning that more bling tends to be received better. You’re putting down good money for these items, and you want them to stand out - we hear you!
So, in order to make this a DLC worth adding to your collection, we decided to tweak the Weapon Framework, and update the Paintjob. We’ve focused on making the guns stand out a lot more with some brand new attachments, adding vials and digital displays to lean more into the “Decontaminator” theme.
And don’t worry, those of you already cracking your knuckles to tell us you liked the old Paintjob: The Paintjob you saw in the first trailer will be added to the next Performance Pass, because dang it, we really liked it!
Anyway, here’s a first view of the reworked DLC pack:
As always, we are very grateful for all your candid comments. Community feedback and discussion remains a huge part of developing DRG, and we always want to hear from you. Whether it be praise or critique, it’s always a good indicator if we are on the right track or not.
Just so we are all on the same page in terms of what is in the pack, since we also noticed some confusion in the comments:
The Decontaminator Pack is a Weapon Framework Pack, not an Armor pack - when you buy it you will get the Decontaminator Weapon Framework, and the Decontaminator Paintjob that you can apply to all other Weapon Frameworks, Armors, your Pickaxe, and Bosco. Check the store page for details, and wishlist it if you want to be notified as soon as it launches on June 15th (June 22nd on Consoles).

Rock and Stone!
