Imagine embarking on a grand adventure, only to find yourself constantly running back and forth to start your next quest. It’s like cooking a multi-course meal where you must return to the pantry! Thankfully, ICARUS is here with its Week 159 update, introducing the delightful C0NT4CT Radio. This nifty gadget promises to make your gameplay smoother by allowing you to launch missions right from wherever you are.
Holiday PeriodAs it is the holiday period, our next few updates may seem smaller than usual and missing the usual bug fixes. This is due to most of our staff being on holiday, but don’t worry; we still have weekly patches planned that will continue through this period. Their changelogs will just be a bit shorter than usual.
This week’s highlight is undoubtedly the addition of the C0NT4CT Radio. Now, when exploring or battling foes far from base camp, you can simply whip out this device and connect with nearby C0NT4CT stations. It’s a fantastic quality-of-life improvement that allows players like you and me to skip all those unnecessary trips back home between narrative quests. Think of it as trading in your old bicycle for a speedy scooter!
And if you’re already dreaming about what’s next for ICARUS, get ready! The team has teased some exciting Olympus Operations set to drop next week—perfect for those looking for fresh challenges.
Known Issue – Clients Unable to Fire WeaponsWe have discovered an issue related to ranged weapons not firing for clients when players are connecting to a friend who is hosting or a dedicated server. This only seems to be occurring on older prospects with existing weapons; crafting new weapons works until you rejoin the session. As we cannot completely test this during our holiday period we have set up a build on the Experimental Branch with a potential fix.
Warning: this is not fully tested and will include some content which will be released in future weeks.
This Week: C0NT4CT Radio
The long-awaited C0NT4CT Radio can now be crafted at your fabricator station. It’s simple yet transformative—allowing seamless mission launches without returning home each time! Less running means more fun!
Next Week: Olympus Operations II
The excitement doesn’t stop here; next week marks the arrival of brand-new Olympus Operations explicitly designed to enrich gameplay further. All applicable missions are getting converted over into this release cycle, a real treat for fans!
