Grab your gear because Patch 0.2.3.0 is here, packed with some seriously cool updates you won’t want to miss! After listening to player feedback, MADFINGER Games has rolled out features that could totally change how we approach the game, like a brand-new repair system and some nifty AI fixes.
New Features & Balance Improvements
- Repair, Don’t Replace
No more swapping out that damaged gear every time! The new Repair Feature lets you fix your worn-out items at the FOB, but keep in mind that each repair will slightly decrease its max durability. Choose wisely and keep your best equipment ready for action! - Leveling Up with Vendors Made Easier
Selling items now earns you reputation points too! The grind for Level 3 rep with vendors like Lab Rat and Banshee has been reduced, making it smoother to get those upgrades and stay mission-ready. - Disconnection Protection
No one wants to lose their character due to a connection drop! If you disconnect, your character will vanish temporarily—reconnect within 5 minutes, and pick up right where you left off. It’s all about skill over internet woes. - Looting Made Smoother
The loot interactions have been fine-tuned so grabbing smaller items is now easier than ever. No more frustration when the prompt shows up but the loot stays just out of reach! - Dead Bodies, New Rules
Your dead bodies now stick around for an hour on the map! If you bite the dust more than once, older bodies become lootable by others—but only your latest body can be looted by you. Stay smart and don’t leave behind any treasures!
