We've pushed a new build to the public servers with the new loot system for everyone to dig into along with some new features and the usual salvo of bug fixes. To help explain the new stuff, here's a lovely video of Brian talking about some of the new additions... https://youtu.be/vXL3ykXxTO0
Please let us know if you encounter any major issues or blockers so that we can be sure to tackle them in a hotfix asap!
Loot & Weapon Mods!
There are 20+ weapon mods to unlock by smashing open loot containers you've earned in the Bent Horizon. Purchase additional slots for your favorite guns to stack modifications and create your own unique weapon. Some weapon mods are exclusive to specific weapons while other can be used across multiple freely.
If you've accumulated mods in the previous system you'll get bonus loot containers as compensation. New loot containers are earned by killing Anthromites and completing bounties (harder bounties giving chances for rare and even epic loot containers).
Dash teleport option
We've added a dash teleport option for players who prefer it over the blink approach. Give it a shot and let us know what you think as we'll keep iterating and refining it with future updates. Hopefully at this stage we've got a good locomotion setup for every type of VR player!
New hats & Achievements
A salvo of new hats and hairstyles have been added, all unlocked by cracking open loot containers. Collet 'em all! We've added some new unlocks to the game as well, and all the previous unlocks that were tied to unlocking a specific weapon mod will now reward loot containers.
Limited player respawns
We've moved to a limited set of shared respawns for players instead of the paying to respawn approach we had. Hopefully this is more a fair solution for all players while also increasing the challenges for the advanced missions where you can no longer spend your way to the end regardless of the difficulty. You can also find extra lives mid missions with the new extra life kegs (looks like a milk carton with a heart on it) so keep an eye out if you need 'em.
...and even more to come!
Let us know what you think of the update and keep the feedback coming on what else you'd like added to Gunheart.
