Update 0.2.5: grid inventory, attachments and melee weapons
chat_bubble 0
visibility 21
This update changes how you carry and fight. Gear now goes on a grid, guns take attachments, four melee weapons join the knife, and three throwables ride in your pouches. Out in the field, two new infected join the horde, and a run can turn up a situation: a supply drop, a marked infected, a lost crew or heavy cargo to haul home.
Every screen has also been redone, from the HUD to the base and the menus.
Your campaigns, levels and stash carry over. The first time the game saves, it keeps a copy of your 0.2.0 save beside the new one.
Items now take real space. An automatic rifle is 4x2, a medkit 1x1, a jacket 3x3, and you can rotate things to make them fit.
Pockets, a belt with two pouches and a 4x3 satchel are always yours and never lost. A Field Pack or a Ranger Pack on your back and a Chest Rig on your chest carry more, but they go into your bag if you die, like everything else you carry.
Containers open onto a grid too. Take all grabs everything that fits, and Shift-click moves a single item across. Each gun now keeps its own loaded rounds, so two pistols no longer share one count.
At base, the Loadout tab is that same screen with the shared stash beside it. Save up to three kits and pack one with a key, or repack the last kit you took out.
Guns now take up to four attachments: muzzle, optic, rail and stock. Each one helps with something and costs you something else.
- Improvised Suppressor: far less Heat per shot, but the pistol fires slower and takes one more cell.
- Rifle Suppressor: two thirds less Heat per shot, for a bit less reach and a slower aim.
- Holographic Sight: faster to aim with a light zoom, but wider hip fire.
- 4x Scope: real zoom and tighter aimed shots, but much slower to raise and wider hip fire.
- Weapon Light: a longer, whiter beam from the gun, and the infected see you from further away while it is on.
- Padded Stock: a quarter less recoil, but slower to aim.
Fitting is free and instant at the new Workbench tab, where your gun lies on the bench and you pick each slot on it. In the field it takes 3 seconds from the inventory, and taking damage or sprinting breaks it off. Plans come from situations, and parts turn up in Intermediate and Deep loot.
The knife gets company. The Machete reaches two infected in one swing, the Nail Bat staggers whatever it hits, the Fire Axe hits twice as hard and breaks armor, and the Crowbar forces locks and doors in half the time without the noise.
Every melee weapon has a heavy swing: hold aim to wind it up, then let go for more damage and a stagger, at twice the stamina. The knife stays with you and is never lost.
Three throwables ride in your pouches and come out from their quick slot:
- Molotov: bursts where it lands and sets the ground on fire for 9 seconds.
- Pipe Bomb: beeps for a few seconds to pull every nearby infected in, then blows. Brutes don't fall for it.
- Road Flare: a red light that burns for a minute and draws no one.
Two new infected show up from the Intermediate zone on. The Armored infected wears a riot helmet and a vest that soak hits until they break; a fire axe, a heavy swing of the bat or the crowbar, or a pipe bomb strips them. The Bloater is slow and swollen, and it bursts into a cloud of gas when it dies or gets close. Keep your mask on.
A run can also turn up a situation, at most one per run and never the same one twice in a row:
- Supply drop: a helicopter drops a crate under an orange smoke column. Opening it draws a pack.
- Marked infected: a tougher Brute or Armored infected with an escort, tracked on your HUD, carrying a plan you don't have yet.
- Lost crew: two bags left by a recovery crew, still guarded, with their radio beacon calling.
- Heavy cargo: an ammunition chest, a medical cooler or a generator to carry home in both hands. You walk slowly and can't fight while you carry it.
Situations pay in loot, never in experience.
Every screen has been redone in a sprayed-paint style that fits the game better than the old steel panels: the HUD, the inventory, every base tab, the menus, the results and the ending. The HUD now has a compass at the top that marks your objective, the current situation and your squadmates.
The main menu plays a live scene, an extraction at dusk in the Forest, and extracting from a helicopter deck now shows the take-off before the results.
There's a proper options screen too: graphics presets, vegetation, shadows, view distance, horde detail, separate volumes, HUD scale and sensitivity, all applied as you change them.
- Throws are instant and don't show in third person yet.
- Heavy cargo and the two-handed melee weapons don't have a proper third-person hold yet.
- Worn packs don't show on your character yet.
- A few new actions still use placeholder sounds.
The full list of changes is in the Changes tab. If something breaks, the Discord is the quickest way to tell us.
