It has been over a month since Death Ring: Second Impact entered Early Access, and we sincerely appreciate all your support! We are currently working at full speed on a brand-new chapter and new features, which we plan to bring to you next month. Without further ado, here is the update content:

Key Updates

1. Pool Dilution Issue Resolved Since the launch of the EA version, we have received extensive feedback regarding the Recruit Pack unlocking logic. We understand that pool dilution has impacted your tactical experience, so we’ve reworked the system:

   1. The previous module and loadout disabling system has been unified into a Recruit Pack enable/disable system.

   2. At least 12 Recruit Packs must remain enabled to start a mission.

   3. Existing packs have been partially adjusted to fit this new logic.

2. New Save Points

   1. Exiting during the preparation phase or returning to the main menu now saves your Hangar configuration.

   2. A save is created when you click “Next Day” . During battle, if you quit or fail, selecting \[Return to Previous Day] will load this save.
