A new update is now available for Primal Carnage: Extinction on Steam!
This latest patch marks the start of our annual Halloween Horrors event and brings a number of small fixes and improvements as well.
GAME CHANGES
A lot of the tweaks in today's patch relate to the introduction of the Friendly Fire option in Freeroam, adding support for more weapons and attacks to hurt "team mates" when this is enabled.
Various game mechanic modifications have been made to have things work a bit better when Friendly Fire is on, after the positive response and player feedback from its initial implementation.
For example, some attacks have been tweaked to work a little better in a free-for-all scenario, such as charge impacts on other dinosaurs being a bit less stratospheric. Team outlines are also being modified to be much more proximity based when friendly fire is enabled on a server.
None of this means that Dino Vs Dino is going to be a thing anytime soon, if ever, but it's a fun thing to mess around with in Freeroam and will likely continue to be tinkered with when Sandbox arrives.
Outside of FR, we've kept fixing various bugs and exploits, while also finding a moment to make a few tweaks to the humble frag grenade that might make it slightly more viable.
Check the changelog further down for all of the latest tweaks...
SCARILY GOOD STUFF!
It's that time of the year again! A spinetingling collection of spooky new skins has arrived with the return of our Halloween Horrors event, featuring several terrifying mutations amongst them...
The mercenaries also get a few new stylish addons to play fancy dress with, and there are a bunch of new free drops outside the store as well as classic Halloween drops from the past that are returning!
