Winter Update!


Happy Holidays Everyone!

Fors has decided to be nice with us and brought us some gifts this Winter, let’s check it out:

New Weapon - Model I Battle Rifle

This Battle Rifle is very peculiar, it provides High Damage with Low Recoil, but at the cost of a low capacity magazine, and the inability to reload while all it’s shots haven’t been fired, so pay attention to your ammo.

A blast from the Past, the Model I BR can dispatch multiple foes quickly due to it’s high caliber bullet that can go through multiple targets.

Don’t worry too much although, when the ammo is depleted, you’ll hear a satisfying “PING”, that’s when you reload.

  • Statistics | Value


  • Damage | 45

  • Range | 16

  • Rate of Fire | 350

  • Accuracy | 85

  • Recoil | 109

  • Fire Mode | Semi-Automatic

  • Ammo | 8/24

  • Tactical Reload | Locked

  • Full Reload | 1.35 Seconds

  • Price | 1300 Souls

  • Year of Production | 1932

New Prototype Level - 1980

Finally another level! kinda…

Props, Sprites, Tiles, Textures will be added later on, once we feel confident that the map is good to play on.

We are still testing the layout, so all you have for now is bland walls. Our objective is to provide a map that doesn’t have any overpowered positions (I’m looking at you Prison Backdoor area), whilst still maintaining the possibility to multiple play styles, long range, close range, hold your position… We want you to play the map like you want! Please provide us feedback were necessary.

If you want to test the map without having to grind through multiple levels, you can use a few console commands after selecting a save slot:

		
			set_wave 2
set_year 1980
difficulty 1
give_souls 15000
		
	

These commands will put you at 1980, with enough souls to get any weapon, and increase the difficulty to the maximum. GLHF!

And now that 1980 is finally in game, we have put the AUG, FAL and Deagle in their correct time periods.

Bullet Travel and Critical Hits

Now you can hit specific enemy areas for increased damage! This will not be easy, since now projectiles doesn’t behave like Lasers anymore. Why am I mentioning this?

New Feature - Focus

Dealing Damage will increase your Focus bar, once it’s completely filled, you’ll be able to Focus for 5 Seconds and Slow down time by 70%.

Watching your bullets fly towards your foes in slow motion is awesome.

It can be great for dispatching multiple enemies, or getting out of a pickle.
