Hello everybody!
We are very excited to announce that "The Gauntlet" major update is now available!
With this update we are introducing a brand new "Checkpoint" location on a tactical map with a new Gauntlet game mode where players will face endless hordes of enemies with overwhelming odds. Each wave cleared will yield a large amount of resources that can be used or traded in the camp.
Additionally, we are introducing a new mechanic on the gauntlet location where players will use the environment to gain the advantage on the horde. New climbing / vaulting mechanic allows players to quickly vault over designated obstacles and use other means of tactical escape.
These tactical routes have cooldowns that will reset with enemy waves cleared. Different routes have different cooldown times. Look for new blue painted barricades scattered around the location and open containers.
We have also put a lot of work into updating all of the systems to support the new functionality.
Please refer to the update notes for a full list of features.
