Our second content update is now live! We’ve been working really hard to ensure we get new content out to you survivors and traitors as quickly as possible, so we are pleased to announce we will be pushing new content every 2 weeks from now until 1.0! In the meantime, please check out the notes for this weeks content update.
Console Overload:
- Traitors now have the option to overload a console instead of just helping the survivors use them. Once the consoles are overloaded they will emit a smoke PFX, and can’t be used for 90 seconds. All of the connected consoles will smoke so the traitor can’t be immediately outed.
Hot Spring Overhaul:
- We’ve completely overhauled the hot springs for both Survivors AND Traitors! Hop in to find out what it does ;)
Animal Guardians:
- Wolves will now sometimes guard the second objective!
Stat Boost Items:
- Stat Boosts are now in the form of energy drinks and are found in traitor crates. There are three types of Energy Drinks: Weak Energy Drink, Energy Drink, and Strong Energy Drink. Energy Drinks also have a low chance of spawning inside of crates for Survivors, so you can’t be outed as a traitor just because you have one.
Traps and land mine tweaks:
- Traitors are now able to see where each other have laid bear traps or landmines.
