Greetings Scavs! We are proud to deploy another update. The main focus of this update are a new stamina system, consumable-use animations, and night mode for Babel! In addition, a new skin-pack is now available for those who want Old Man, Gunhead, and Mask Man to rock the newest and hottest aesthetics. Those major improvements are also closely followed by a slew of bug fixes and adjustments across the board! Stamina! All characters except for Gunhead now consume stamina for strenuous activities including (but not limited to) sprinting, jumping, climbing / mantling / vaulting, dodging, etc. Characters have different interactions with stamina. For example, Scav Girl can sprint for longer but is much more impacted by heavy loads: try to carry too much weight and she will exhaust herself quickly. By contract, Bag Man can’t sustain a sprint for as long but is much less impacted by heavy loads. There are Adrenaline Stims available to purchase in the Innards and / or find by looting in regions. Each of these will restore your stamina and prevent its use for a time, giving you that burst of needed stamina when you want it most. Existing Scavs will receive a handful of free Adrenaline Stims when they launch the game after the update. To top it all off, there is new rig equipment to manufacture. Having this equipment in your rig will reduce both stamina costs and the delay before stamina recharges after stamina use. Strategic Healing via. Consumables + Animations All health-based consumables will now result in animations. The Scav you select will now inject, eat, drink, smoke, or use the syringe, food, liquid, etc. that you use. This means that timing the use of these consumables is more important to think about. While you will be able to move while using them, you can no longer use them in rapid succession or perform specific activities while using them (it's pretty difficult to aim a rifle and eat ENuggets at the same time). Babel’s Night Mode Babel now has a night mode! Combine the heights of this ruined region with the gloom and uncertainty of night mode for a true cliffhanger experience and a twist to the elevated nightmare.. New Skins "The Forever Winter Fleshwraps Skin Pack" The Forever Winter Fleshwraps Skin Pack includes: T he Teddystuffa for Gunhead - “Making him cute doesn’t make him any less deadly.” The Filtermund Skin for Maskman - “No matter how much I try, I can’t ever seem to avoid the SMELL of the surface…” The Smoghide Skin for Old Man - “The chill just cuts right through me.” New skins will be applied the first time you use the character after acquiring them. After that, skins are selected at random after every death or can be manually selected in your Innards. If you want the true FW experience, treat that scav as dead and let the revolver decide. Please see the below list of improvements, bug fixes, and newly added features.

Good to see you all again, Scavs! The team is excited to give you another update influenced by your requests! The community voted to reinforce the Europan Faction and we heard you loud and clear. Introducing the first implementation of the StiltWalker! This terrifying multi-legged beast is armed to the hilt and will be a terrifying foe for Eurasia, Euruska, and (if provoked) will be none too kind to the Scavs either. We are excited to introduce this boss and will continue to iterate on it with even more features as updates continue! We also added a new region to search for loot: Lost Angels. The first pass of this region is a journey through ruined urban nightmares where threats can appear around any corner. On top of all of that there are more performance improvements and feature improvements to make the Scav experience both smoother and more responsive to control. We are and continue to be incredibly grateful to be here and for your continued support. If you dig what we’re making please leave us a like and if you're feeling extra helpful maybe even a sub. That helps the algorithm gods show more of these apocalyptic nightmares to the world!

Summer update just dropped—Infantry AI and Performance both got serious upgrades. We’re not done yet, but it’s a solid step toward the chaos you’ve been asking for. Also, FW is $20 for a limited time as part of Steam’s Summer Sale—a good chance to bring a friend into the fight. Tom ripped the guts of the game up and we should have improved performance as well! We understand everyone's rig is different, and some hardware plays better than others. But whatever! We will continue to do what we can so folks aren't left behind. Lastly, Europa will have to wait a bit longer for reinforcements, they have a new unit in the works that might be our biggest yet, and we want to bake it up so it does what it was designed to do properly. Don't worry we have not forgotten. We will update the demo shortly as well, so everyone can test their hardware and see if the game is right for them. And if it is, join us in the discord, our community is fucking rad. Lastly, all things considered we are incredibly grateful to be here and bring the rain. If you dig what we’re making please leave us a like and if you're feeling extra helpful maybe even a sub. That helps the algorithm gods show more of these apocalyptic nightmares to the world!

Greetings Scavs. This update focuses on the grand scope and the minute-to-minute: the dynamics of the war at large are brought to focus while additional tools to eek out survival are made available. Theater of War (Beta / 1.0) This update allows Scavs to pull back the curtain and earn the right to see the current status of the war in each region. Regions now have three radar walkers each. These radar walkers can be decrypted by the Scavs to reveal the current faction control percentages for that region. Decryption needs to be done in sequential order, and the order changes every time Scavs enter the region. Once completed, the status of the war will be available on the Region Map for a set amount of time (which resets on daily intervals), allowing Scavs to see who is winning and who isn’t. Take care when approaching a radar walker, if a Scav is underneath it when it decides to crouch they may be crushed! There are also specific actions that can be taken in many of the regions that can tip the balance of the war in a specific faction’s favor. Actions in one region can impact that region AND neighboring regions depending on what is done. These actions are difficult to pull off and will certainly be noticed if accomplished, so beware and be prepared if you choose to engage. Decrypted radars will reveal what actions have occurred and their impact. Thrown Grenades Scavs can now add thrown grenades to their arsenal. For this update there are three grenade types available: Frag grenades do a concentrated amount of damage at their point of explosion but have a dramatic damage falloff at a distance. Custer grenades do less damage but over a wider area Signal Scrambler grenades (otherwise known as “Faction Grenades”) have a special purpose: Once they detonate they block ALL transmissions in the level, allowing Scavs to attempt to loot or dispatch foes without their actions being reported (and thus preventing any impact to their faction rating). Beware and be quick: any agro’d foes that are still alive once the scrambler ceases to function will be able to report what it saw, thus nullifying any benefit. Each Scav will receive a limited amount of each grenade type in their stash when they go into the Innards for this update. After those are used, grenades must be found on corpses and / or manufactured in the Innards. By default, “G” on the keyboard throws the currently selected grenade and “H” swaps grenade types. Weapon Repair Broken / disabled weaponry collected in the field can now be repaired if a Scav has properly upgraded their Innards. Each repair requires broken weaponry and a specific faction / level of an IFF card. IFF cards can be collected from the corpses of fallen combatants and are available for Eurasian, Europan, and Euruskan factions. Level 1 IFF cards are fairly common and can be used to repair common weaponry Level 2 IFF cards are more rare and are used for mid-level weaponry repair Level 3 IFF cards are EXTREMELY rare and are used for high-end weaponry repair Improved Character Control This update adds two key control enhancements to Scavs Scavs can now shoulder swap the camera to be over either shoulder. Scavs can now also do a quick 180 turn By default, “X” on the keyboard performs the shoulder swap (or use one of the side buttons on the gaming mouse if one is in use). By default, S (back) + Shift performs the 180 turn (if not already running). Update Summary Please see the below list of improvements, bug fixes, and newly added features. FEATURES Theatre of War 1.0 (beta) + Region Modifiers (c4-reaction) Radar Walkers + Radar decrypting minigame Boss Camera (beta) for large enemy entrances New Enemy Types: Euruska Field Commander and Opal Global Reinforcement Systems Grenades- fragmentation / signal scramblers / cluster Weapon Repair Station & IFF repair tags Mini Rig - stealth at the cost of carry capacity Mech Trench- Horror Lighting / Scenario Shoulder Swap Camera Functionality Quick 180 turn Functionality IMPROVEMENTS Shaman: Tactical Scanner Expertise / Longer Scan Range Ai Buddy 2.0 hand signals added (beta) Map polish for Ashen Mesa & Mech Trench (additional vignettes) Updated reload animations for Gunhead and Shaman Updated sync kills / Animations for the Brawler dy content of your post goes here.
