PvP patch on the horizon

Alistair tweeted earlier today regarding an upcoming patch:

There is a PvP patch on the horizon that is going to focus on and improve gunplay and areas of common complaints. This includes reviewing recoil handling and balance.

No set date for release, working progress.

We’ll keep you posted as more comes to light on this.

Above ground rail network

A railroad network for above ground is in the works. With a slew of commits this week, the ‘rail_network’ branch appears to be taking shape. No visuals yet, but we’ll keep you posted.

Power zipline

A new way of getting around is in the works on a fresh branch this week. The Power Zipline looks like it’ll allow players to get from point A to point B in an exciting new fashion. More on this as it comes to light.

New landmine art

Landmines got a fresh look on staging this week. Here’s a look:

Pet progress

More progress on pets. Specifically, work on navigation and pathfinding.
