v0.9.9.0 Content Update
The Parallax Effect Patch Notes — January 20, 2019
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Greetings survivors,
I've been busily working on a bit of new content in the lead up to v1.0. The following week I will mainly be working on bugfixes so this is the last bit of content before the big 1.0 update.
The additions include a new location on Chimera called Old Iron Lookout which can be found in the extreme north near Drosden military base. It is in a tier 5 loot position which means you can score the best loot there. It's also called Old Iron for a reason, the new spot sits atop a tall hill covered in exposed rocks containing iron ore. It is now the largest deposit of iron in Chimera and will provide an almost endless supply if you can survive long enough to mine it all.
I have also re-worked the loot tables for the entire map. Previously, high tier loot had been far too easy to obtain being able to find AR's and such in southern regions of the map. As of now, the loot progression is spread out across the entire map meaning you'll have to venture to the north in order to find high level items. It's important to note however, secret stash's are not affected by the loot tables meaning they can drop completely random items of any tier no matter where they are located on the map.
Lastly, I have added 5 new hair styles to the character customisation options. Previously there was only the one hair style or you go bald, now there are a total of 7 styles to choose from, so you can make yourself just that little bit more unique. I have also added 5 new facial hair styles to the mix instead of having just the one beard or no beard option. Let me know what styles you like and any suggestions for additional styles, I am open to any thoughts you might have.
If you didn't already know, I am currently hosting a screenshot contest in the official game's Discord server. If you're not already a member, come and join and chat to some players, myself included. The winner of the contest will have their screenshot added as a loading screen background in the game and also be featured on the game's Steam store page. The contest will be run up until the v1.0 update, so there's a little bit of time left to get a submission or two in.
