So what are you waiting for? IT’S TIME TO GO ROGUE!

Hey Rogues! We’ve just rolled out another build, this time a hotfix. Here are the changes:

• Fixed an issue that caused the "Ready" button to shake uncontrollably. They were a bit nervous.

• Fixed scaling issues with the “Ready” button and party widget.

• Fixed an issue where clients would automatically ADS when shooting a Shotgun in certain circumstances.

• Fixed an issue causing enemies to spawn and get stuck together during extraction waves, resulting in them floating. Goodbye sky people. ːzerkː

  • As a result of fixing this bug, you may notice a decrease in the frequency of enemy waves spawning during extraction. Please provide any feedback. We'd like to learn more about this impact.

• Adjusted the skill curve for the "Second Hand" skill.

What a time to be a Rogue, huh? 👊

Yesterday we dropped our second major Early Access update, Major Update 2 and it’s a BIG one. Packed with new content, improvements, and fixes, this update includes most of what we’ve been hearing from the players following our Major Update 1 launch.

To everyone who’s played and left suggestions, THANK YOU! We’ve been watching and listening. If you haven’t yet, we’d love it if you could leave us a review!

You Spoke, We Listened! 👂

We heard you, Rogues. Major Update 2 has been shaped by your feedback. Here’s just some of what you helped make happen. 👇 

• Controller Support: A highly requested addition, controller support is now in the game. It’s not 100% complete yet and we’re continuing to refine it, but it was important to us to get this into your hands as soon as possible (pun intended). 

• Permanent Operator Progression: Completing missions, phases, and campaigns now earns you “Rogue Points” (RP), which can be spent on permanent operator upgrades! You can also respec at any time.

• New Skills: We’ve added 20 brand-new skills to make your operators even more unique and give you more decisions to make about your build as you progress through a campaign.

You can read about everything in Major Update 2, in our latest post:

Early Feedback. 📝

As always, you dived in, played, and gave your thoughts faster than a berserker can chase you down (and boy are they fast!). Since yesterday, we’ve heard that:

• You’re enjoying the controller support and permanent progression system so far, but you are asking for more advanced settings to tweak things a little more to your liking.

• We’ve had some players request to disable extraction phases during custom games, and we’re looking into it.

• We’ve heard that some of you are still having performance/optimization issues while playing, and we’re reviewing these on a case-by-case basis. 

Join the Rogue network on Discord to keep your feedback coming in our dedicated feedback channel. Don’t forget to leave a review here on Steam! Every review helps us to get more Rogues into the game.

We’re already hard at work on polishing Rogue Point following this major update, and we’ll share details with you on that as soon as we can. Keep your eyes peeled. 👀

Patch Highlights and Full patch notes are below!

Update Highlights 👍🏻

Aim Down Sights (ADS) 2.0

Overhauled the way the game adjusts the weapon's Field Of View (FOV) while using ADS. This greatly improves the sight picture and usability of all optics.

Network Optimization/Network Drop Fix

We’ve done a massive amount of work to reduce network traffic (from hundreds of thousands of messages to ~60,000 at peak). This will help with slower connections, but more importantly, it should prevent players from getting dropped from parties as the network was too overloaded to make the transition!

Server Browser and Mid Mission Joining

We’ve added a server browser so players can see who is currently playing Rogue Point and join them. This includes changes to default settings to make it easier for players to connect.

Known Issue: The UI or HUD may break when joining a mission. We have most, if not all, of these fixed internally, but they will be part of a future update.

Overhauled Party Management

Changed party management to be a pop-out slider. This not only looks nicer, but is hopefully less confusing for players. We also fixed a bug where parties were getting set to “Unlisted“ unintentionally.

Vastly Improved Performance on Default (DX11)

We enabled the RHI Thread for the default launch option. This improves FPS by 20-80 frames on an RTX 5070 Ti.

Campaign Modifiers

The game now lets you adjust settings and sliders to create a customized campaign. Let us know what settings you like best. We can use some additional feedback to make difficulty presets in the future.

Weapons and Stash Room Updates 💥

4x Combat Scope

In addition to ADS 2.0, players can now unlock the 4x Combat Scope. This has the highest zoom of all optics and is ideal for long-range combat.

Tear Gas Grenades

A grenade that releases irritating gas that can do damage over time. Used primarily for area denial.

Hunter 44

A firearm with real stopping power but limited attachments. Great as a high-powered backup weapon, just be mindful of its reload times.

Thunder Bolt Action Rifle

A bolt-action rifle built for range. As distance increases, damage goes up.

RIOT-12

A distinctive shotgun known for its rugged design and adaptability. This versatile weapon excels in breaching and close-quarters combat, making it ideal when facing Unforeseen Consequences.

RC90

Developed during the Cold War, this is an extremely unorthodox bullpup SMG. Its small size, 50-round horizontal magazine, and exceptional rate of fire are perfect for sustained close-range engagements. Designed specifically to be equipped with armor-piercing rounds, this blends the benefits of a compact SMG and a full-powered rifle.

Proximity Mines

A motion-sensing device that detonates instantly when triggered.

Improved and Expanded Stash Rooms

Stash rooms are now shown on the planning screen, have clearer in-world icons, and can support Armor, Cash, and Weapons (though weapons have not yet been added to the maps)

Artificial Intelligence Updates 🧠

New Enemy Cosmetics

As the mission difficulty progresses, the AI will take on new looks. Soldiers will also increase their armor to help scale the difficulty throughout the campaign.

BOS Hog

Added new attacks, responses, and phases to the boss.

• Charge attack

• Hook attack

• Improved grenade throwing

• Damage states per phase

• Increase health values

Door Traps

Doors now have a chance to be trapped. Players will have to peek or optiwand doors to know exactly what is on the other side.

New Cosmetics

SAS Outfit

Cowboy Cosmetics

  • Fixed edge cases in Office where door chocks could not be picked up

• Full cover pass on Mall for better AI selection of cover

• Full cover pass on Oil Rig for better AI selection of cover

• Airport

  • Changed sunlight to be “Stationary“ instead of “Movable“ to improve performance, but maintain real-time shadows.

  • Refined LODs, collision, and object draw distance

  • Added new Raid layouts

  • Found and removed duplicate meshes

  • Merged foliage and made it so bullets could pass through them

  • Improve the planning screen in Airport

• Fixes to default collision profiles for better collision accuracy

• Fixed Ammo Station collision in Training level

Known Issues

A bunch of small bugs and QOL things we are looking into, but some noticeable ones include:

• Players at the Loadout screen occasionally stand on top of one another. We've been trying to figure out what creates this, and have been flummoxed by it.

• Occasionally, sounds like countdown timers or music will carry over from mission complete or campaign complete. Investigating.

• Sometimes AI will continue to fire at players at mission end. Usually, this is a Heavy during their stand-up animation, but recently we saw it with a soldier at mission fail, so we will look into that.

• The AI likes to get stuck at the Control Room Rooftop extraction stairwell. We're not sure what is holding them up, but we are looking at it.

Thank you again for all of your feedback on Rogue Point so far. The team continues to go through it all, and it's proving invaluable to us!

If you'd like to share feedback with us, please visit our feedback page here. Alternatively, you can also leave us feedback in the Rogue Point Steam Discussions.

How's it going, Rogues? We're excited to announce that Rogue Point's first major Early Access update will be dropping tomorrow, April 23!

We're really excited to share more detail about the update's contents with you tomorrow. Your input so far has been extremely valuable, so to keep that going, we've decided to host another Developer AMA on the Rogue Point subreddit!

Follow the link below to get your questions in 👇

💬 Rogue Point Developer Reddit AMA

Get your questions in now! We're going to start answering at 5pm BST / 12pm ET / 9am PT on April 23. Look forward to talking to you all then!

Rogues! We've got a big patch dropping for Rogue Point today! This patch includes a number of improvements and balance passes, including improved time to kill, solo play improvements, and airport performance optimization.

Additionally, we've also decided to remove mission timers while we experiment with different ways to use mission structure and objectives to push players forward.

Patch Highlights and Full patch notes are below!

Patch Highlights 👍🏻

Projectiles and Time To Kill

• Globally increased projectile speed for much snappier shooting

• Fixed headshots sometimes not registering (neck hitbox was not counting as a headshot)

• Fixed some pistols not being able to kill enemies in one shot to the head (too low damage multiplier)

• These fixes make AI feel much less spongy and shooting feel much crisper

Damage Curve and Solo Play

• Implemented separate damage curves for solo vs multiplayer play

  • The goal is to make single player slightly easier, and multiplayer slightly harder

  • (More player control over this is on the way with Custom Campaigns/Campaign Modifiers)

• Medkits in solo play now heal the same amount as a team heal does in multiplayer

• Pausing in Single Player

  • Players can now press the menu button and the game will pause when in single player

Added Ability to Repair Armor

• Repair cost is the same % as the damage the armor has taken

• If armor is destroyed on mission, it will be deleted from inventory

Airport Optimization

• Reduced visibility checks from 23 million queries to 15 million

  • Still more work to do, but this is much more in line with the optimization of other levels

• Foliage merging and optimizations

• Added level streaming so unused areas are not loaded

• Added draw distances for meshes, shoot-able screens, and physics objects

• Fixed sunlight being a movable light instead of Stationary

  • This helps performance and fixes shadows on low settings

Game Launch Fixes/Improvements

• Fixed players getting stuck on initial loading screen on GTX 9XX and 10XX series video cards

• Added shader compilation asset tracking so shaders only need to compile once per game build

• The splash screen videos now respect the users master audio in-game settings

  • Made the T17 default volume match our intro video.

Disabled Missions Timers For Now

• Helps with solo players, or players who want to move slow and smooth

• Bombs still have timers, and we may re-add them for alternate missions like Strike Missions

What's Next? 🗓️

In addition to the above, we have detailed patch notes below for those interested, and to show off the huge amount of work the team has done to fix bugs and address feedback.

With this patch out, we are working on a content patch for early/mid April to add new systems to the game and progress toward 1.0.

Here are just a few hints and things we are working on for the content update:

Aim Down Sights 2.0

We’ve added a whole new feature that flattens the player's ADS for a much better sight picture while aiming. This is ready to go into the main build, but for safety, we left it out of this patch so we can test it more and refine weapon recoil. We may soon deploy it to public beta so the community can help us test, rather than wait until the next content update.

Expanding Operator Progression

Something that we’ve been wanting to expand and that we have got community feedback on is increasing the amount of PERMANENT Operator progression via “Rogue Points” (RP). The goal of this system is to allow players to spend points to increase their operator's power, give players more reasons to jump into another campaign, and give us the ability to increase campaign difficulty (either in the base campaign or via a “Hardcore” mode).

This system may not be stood up for the next update, but we are currently working on how to test its implementation with the community. Some systems we want to expand on include:

• Using RP to increase the number of grenades a player can carry

• Using RP to increase the number of charges in a medkit

• Using RP to increase starting cash

• Using RP to increase the total number of Operator skill slots

• and many more…

Additional Fixes and Changes 🔨

Code and AI 💻

• Fixed a long standing bug where grabbing medkits would cause players to not be able to swap weapons

• Fixed players unable to change weapons after interacting with a ladder

• Improved Berserker navigation to prevent them from getting stuck

  • Fixed Berserker acceleration to max speed

• Fixed not being able to shoot heavies if they are getting up and you are very close to them

• Fixed Host crash on Airport

• Improved Airport planning screens

• Made AI less sensitive to bullet hits if the player in undetected

• Fixed cases of Breaching Charge getting stuck in players left hand

• Fixed FOV not applying to lasers

• Updated AI vaulting to have a better arc

• Fixed players being able to vault through breakable glass

• Fixed fidget and ADS animations not interreacting properly

• Fixed a myriad of issues to do with AI using sequential shotguns

• Fixed visual issues if a players switches item right after deployment

• Fixed an issue with Wall Bang reward calculation

• Increased Point Blank range from 3.5m to 6m

• Fixed sprint through door sound amplifier being set to 1200… instead of 1.2…

Animation 🎥

• Fixed floating watches

• Fixed AKM Clipping watch

Second hotfix incoming, Rogues! This Early Access patch addresses the performance issues some players have been experiencing, as well as fixing a number of bugs reported by the community. Full patch notes are below!

Let's start off with the good stuff:

PERFORMANCE FIX 👍🏻

If you have been experiencing performance issues in Rogue Point, please launch the game in High Performance (DX12) when the launch window pops up in Steam after clicking 'Play'. This option provides significant performance improvements. Please note, that this option may cause instability on certain hardware set-ups.

Hotfix 2 Patch Notes 🔨

Code and AI 💻

• Added separate launch command to force DirectX12 giving players SIGNIFICANT performance increase.

  • This option may cause instability on certain hardware setups

• Fixed hitching bug while firing. Made sure shader compiler at the start of game gathers all shaders

• Fixed parties switching back to “Unlisted”, blocking players from discovering and joining after the first mission

• Invite codes and matchmaking are no longer region locked

• Fixed issues that may cause disconnections and “Net Driver Errors” when returning back to the mission select screen as a party

• Disabled bullet “roll” that would force full auto guns to fire multiple rounds on a single click

• Slightly increased sprint speed 

• Reduced Revive health recovery from 100% to around 65%

• Fixed a few missing rewards (Unalerted Enemies, Killing an Heavy While They are Knocked)

  • Lowered cash reward for melee kills

• Fixed party system getting stuck in updating loop, possibly causing Steam timeouts

• Further adjusted MERX loadouts

  • Adding more WAM-10s for higher DPS by individual units

• Fixed text clipping issues in the weapon loadout button

• Fixed guns sometimes not firing

• Added “X‘ to close Dead Drop results screen

• Fixed bug where Clients would be left at a black screen if Host closed the game

• Fixed readability of the dead drop spin button when disabled

• Fixed text clipping issues in the weapon loadout button

• Fixed melee giving an unexpectedly large amount of money,

• Campaign save data is now stored in Steam Cloud.

Audio 🔊

• Fixed missing settings in VOIP submix that somehow got reset

• Added new VOIP submix to Oil Rig as a proof of concept for other levels

Level Design ⚒

• Added Particle Hitch prevention blueprints to all levels

  • These should be unnecessary now, but better safe

• Fixed instances of AI getting stuck on Oil Rig

• Fixed a case where players can get stuck by jumping down onto the lower structure of Oil Rig

• Fixed objectives clipping into level art

• Fixed clients seeing closed gates on some Airport layouts

• Fixed broken Stash Rooms on some layouts

• Increase enemy unit counts on some strike missions

• Reduced spawn timers for initial extraction wave so AI can reach extraction (especially on Easy)

• Multiple clipping and vaulting fixes

• Fixed players getting stuck in Mall as reported by community

  • Austrian 9mm

  • Rampage 12ga

  • Stone 5.56

  • N4-CR

  • Bellini

  • WAM 10

  • Artemis 550

  • RP7

• Changed shotgun limb damage from 1.0 to 0.5 for semi auto shotguns (helps with bean bag ammo)

• Doubling GL projectile speed by 2X

• Changing GL explosion radius from 800 to 600

• Adding shell eject to the reload animation which now drops the shell

• Setting GL shell to XL sound size (still need to investigate why it is not creating a sound when hitting the ground)

Art 🎨

• Additional LODs in Airport as first part of optimization pass

• Fixed a few sunlight leaks in Airport

• Minor updates to Takedown roll up doors

Known Issues

We’re prioritizing design changes, starting with a more constant experience regardless of player count. We want solo to be less overwhelming and 4 player to be a bit more challenging.

We are also tracking over 100 issues, big and small, and prioritizing them for fixes as soon as possible!

Here are some of the known issues that we wanted to highlight:

Game Balance

As mentioned above, we want to tweak the game balance while we work on larger systems (such as Campaign Difficulty Modifiers). Some things we want to adjust include.

• Slightly more units for 4 players

• Slightly better accuracy for 4 player AI

• Slightly more enemies at extract in 4 players

• Less AI spawns in solo play

  • Look into specific layouts that can be overwhelming

Performance

The Airport- We are looking to get the Airport running as well as the Oil Rig does. The Oil Rig used to be our major outlier for performance, and with a couple of passes we were able to get the frame rate much better in that map.

Menu Freezes

We have seen players getting stuck at the loading screen coming back from a mission. We have been trying to reproduce this internally and seeing if it is related to someone leaving the party, or perhaps a specific mission layout. This appears to be separate from the Network Disconnect.

Crash at Launch

There are two issues related to this.

• Older GPUs cannot get past shader compile. This seems to be a problem on latest drivers, and rolling back the drivers fixes the issue (the example we verified was on a GTX 1060)

• Our in game stat tracking can crash the game on launch, but only for certain people. We will fix this issue or temporarily turn off the stat tracking to work around it.

Additional Priority Items

• Fix the text display for the Raid missions

• On the HVT mission, the Boss's health bar appears empty for the Clients.

• VOIP Polish

  • We need to double check that the VOIP is being processed correctly. This will give it high volume in game and let it interact better with the environment (like the AI voice lines do)

  • Some of this has been started on Oil Rig

• We’re also looking into a number of glass bugs

  • Including the AI being able to see players through blacked out windows

• We are also looking into a fix for pulling Revive Kits off of the wall and the player holding them like a gun

Rogues! The Final Rogue Point Public Playtest Is Now Live! Play For Free Until Monday, January 19th!

➡️ Click Here To Sign-up And Start Playing Now!

Plus we're excited to announce that Rogue Point will be releasing into Steam Early Access on February 12th! Only four weeks away!

Assemble your squad for the final Rogue Point playtest before we launch into Early Access! This is your last chance to try the game out for free and give us your all important feedback, so don't miss it! This event is open until January 19th!

Played in any of the playtests and want to share your feedback with our team? Complete the in-game survey or head over to the Rogue Point Feedback page here!

This weekend's test is free for everyone, and we’d love feedback in a few areas:

💲 Economy Balance - We’ve adjusted the economy to support the campaign's progression. We don’t want players getting top-end guns too early (unless they win them in a Dead Drop), but we also don’t want players to feel the 'good' guns are unobtainable.

💀 Difficulty Balance - We have also improved the difficulty as the campaign progresses to better challenge players. We want the game to be fun and approachable, but also punish you in the later levels if you do not work as a team.

⛓️‍💥 Critical Gameplay Breakers -  For our last playtest, we had JUST switched the levels to a new spawning system, and that test was instrumental in identifying map variations with breakers (for example, out-of-bounds objectives the player could not reach). Thanks to quick reports from the community, we were able to fix almost all of these in real time. This playtest should be significantly improved. Please let us know if you see anything game-breaking so we can fix it before the Early Access release!

A Quick Look At What's New In Playtest 3

⚖️ Full balance pass based on player feedback from previous playtests

💣 New Bomb Defusal Minigame

🧰 New Placeable Ammo Box Item

🛡️ New Medium Armor

💥 Improved Screen Effects for armor break, taking damage and friendly fire

🔧 Performance Improvements

🧠 AI Improvements

🐛 Lots of bug fixes

➕ And much more!

Playtest 3 Patch Notes

The Big Stuff

• Bug Fixes, Quality of Life Changes and Balancing

  • LOTS of bug fixes based off of the last playtest and internal testing

  • Fixed bugs and added small features to improve player experience

  • Balance pass on all aspects of the game (recoil, damage, prices, AI, etc)

• Ammo Box

  • Added an Ammo Box item to the gear store. This can be bought and placed on the ground in mission. Then one operator can refill their primary and secondary ammo with it.

  • We’ve intentionally removed a lot of ammo from the levels.  We want to encourage players to use their secondaries, scavenge weapons during missions, or better plan out their firepower strategy.

• Player Combat Feedback

  • Added Armor Break screen effect and sound when player armor is destroyed during missions. This way players know when they are out of armor and that they will need to buy more at the next loadout screen.

  • Added Medium Armor

  • Added screen shakes and impact sounds on taking damage

  • Added Friendly Fire particle hits so you know when you are damaging friendlies

  • Added more AI animations, to show when enemies are hurt and taking damage, for a more immersive experience.

• Store Updates

  • Weapons hidden within the Dead Drop system can now be unlocked by completing campaigns. This not only gives players a nice bonus for completing campaigns, but it also demonstrates how other systems like Cosmetics unlock in a very visible way.

• 'New' Sound Actor

  • Fixed TangoAudioVolume to fade between room tones. Previously we were using a work-around so that each room could have its own sound and effect, but the work-around did not use the sound system to its full potential.

  • This fix also allows us to control how audio is sent to the IR reverb depending on distance, important now that we have larger rooms and more distant audio.

  • This is true for in game audio AND for player VOIP as well

  • This also fixes the loud sound effects that played on map load

• New Tech Red Dot and Attachment Features

  • We wanted to replace the placeholder Tech Red Dot, but more importantly we wanted to widen the housing for better viewing and firing.

  • We also added the ability for each optic to have its own zoom level, AND change the speed at which an operator can Aim Down Sights.

• Takedown and Bomb Defusal

  • Remade the Takedown final mission (and accidently introduced a bug to the extract wave spawns).

  • The mission flow now is to get players to rally at the boss, obtain a 'key' to exit the level, and then do a standard extract.

  • This should better guide players through the final mission, be more intense with less enemies, and cap off the campaign in a more satisfying way.

  • We also added a small mini game for defusing the bomb.

  • This minigame is similar to the Laptop mini game, but the player CAN fail it and accidentally explode the bomb.

  • Added clearer timers and warnings for Bomb Defusal

  • Still working to make this mini game as clear as possible (and we are adding it to the training level)

AI Improvements

• Fixed Heavy Striker loadout having Sahara 50 extended mag applied (fixes reload animations on weapon pickup)

• Lookouts now use a much shorter throw animation for flashbangs

• Fixed a bad bug with doors losing their proper ID, making AI walk into them because they thought they were open or unlocked

• Fixed issues with AI rotation

• Fixed AI vaulting when they should not

• Fixed explosive damage reduction for AI not working

Weapon Fixes

• Fixed players being able to use their primary weapon when holding a hostage

• Added range and damage fall off for all guns/gun classes

• Polished Loadout UI for better attachment and skin button visibility

• Moved the armor icon up on the left side of the Loadout screen for better visibility

• Added a warning if players Ready up with no armor equipped

• Fixed bugs with Shared Inventory duplicating or disappearing

• Added better hit mark feedback to distinguish critical hits vs headshots

• Improved Campaign End to differentiate it from the regular Mission End screen and add more emphasis to the event

• Fixed “Ready” icon becoming unavailable if you interacted with the Cosmetic menu

• Fixed players occasionally spawning in the wrong location in the Loadout screen

• Objective rewards are now granted on mission completion and NOT as they are completed during a mission

• UI indicator when players use phones to unlock stash rooms on a mission to show they are depleting

• New player icons

• Made sure weapon charge animations are played AFTER the load screen clears

• Move all healing, damage, and screen effects to a single post-process effect

• Optimized credits and options menu

• Optimized HUD and re-added the HUD bend effect

Audio Improvements

• Re-added shell casing sounds hitting the ground

Known Issues

• Bomb Defusal - The bomb defusal mini game could use more clarity and polish. Note, we are adding multiple objectives to the training mission in the next update to help with this as well.

• Team Healing - It can sometimes be hard to heal a teammate. We have to look into what is blocking the “trace” from you to the other player (might be heavy armor or some type of gear getting in the way).

• Takedown Mission - We’ve been doing A LOT of ground work to improve the foundation of the final Takedown mission. We’ll continue to refine the last mission for Early access and beyond.

• Lots of other smaller bugs and quality of life fixes we are working on, like this AMAZING FOV shader bug:

We hope you enjoy the final playtest and don't forget to wishlist Rogue Point on Steam:

Rogues, mark your calendars! The third and final Rogue Point Playtest goes live on January 16th! 💥

Assemble your squad for the final Rogue Point playtest before we launch into Early Access!

This is your last chance to try the game out for free and give us your all important feedback, so don't miss it!

Request access to the playtest using the link below and get notified as soon as it goes live on the 16th!

REGISTER FOR THE PLAYTEST

We'll share some more info about the changes in Playtest 3 next week, so watch this space!

Well it wouldn’t be a Crowbar production without at least one Soon™. We aimed to release Rogue Point into Early Access this month, but have decided to push back until early Q1 2026.

While you will see a few new features in the release, the goal of the delay is to refine the systems already in place, add quality of life changes, and fix bugs.

Our plan has always been to release the core of the game, get feedback, and keep expanding the game's design WITH community involvement. Some last minute polish will help us focus Early Access on design areas we want feedback on (economy, difficulty, and replayability), and give the community a better first time experience.

📝 What We Are Up To

As mentioned, we want to focus on the refinement of the game, so here are just a FEW of the things we have changed/fixed/added based on testing and feedback.

Store Updates

• Weapons hidden within the Dead Drop system can now be unlocked by completing campaigns

• This not only gives players a nice bonus for completing campaigns, but it demonstrates how other systems like Cosmetics unlock in a very visible way.

Store Refunds

• If you buy an item, but then change your mind before going out on a mission, you can return that item for a 100% refund.

• If you earn an item via Dead Drop or if you use a weapon in a mission, they can be sold for 25% of their store value

Ammo Box

• We’ve also added an Ammo Box item to the gear store. This can be bought, placed on the ground in mission, and then one operator can refill their primary and secondary ammo with it.

• We’ve intentionally removed a lot of ammo from the levels.  We want to encourage players to use their secondaries, scavenge weapons during the mission, or better plan out their firepower strategy.

Player Combat Feedback

• Added Armor Break screen effect and sound when players get hit from an enemy. This way players know when they are out of armor on mission and that they have to buy more at the next loadout screen.

• Added screen shakes and impact sounds on taking damage

• Added Friendly Fire particle hits so you know you are damaging friendlies

• Added more AI animations, to show when enemies are hurt and taking damage, for a more immersive experience.

New Tech Red Dot and Red Dot Features

• We wanted to replace the Tech Red Dot with our own art, but more importantly we wanted to widen the housing for better viewing and firing

• We also added the ability for each optic to have its own zoom level, AND change the speed at which an operator can Aim Down Sights

• Note, attachments currently do not have multiple skins, but they could someday…

“New” Sound Actor

• Fixed TangoAudioVolume to fade between room tones. Previously we were using a work-around so that each room could have its own sound and effect, but the work-around did not use the sound system to its full potential.

• This fix also allows us to control how audio is sent to the IR reverb depending on distance, important now that we have larger rooms and more distant audio

• This is true for in game audio AND for player VOIP as well

• This also fixes the loud sound effects that played on map load

Takedown and Bomb Defusal

• Remade the Takedown final mission.

• The mission flow now is to get players to rally at the boss, get a “key” to exit the level, and then do a standard extract

• This should better guide players through the final mission, be more intense with less enemies, and cap off the campaign in a better way

• We also added a small mini game for defusing the bomb

• This minigame is similar to the Laptop mini game, but the player CAN fail it and accidentally explode the bomb Work in progress screenshot - Not final Bomb Defusal UI

🎮 Playtest 3- Coming Soon!

We’ve got some exceptional bug reports from the last playtest, and were able to fix a lot of issues found in real time. We’d like to do another public playtest.  Shake out the latest fixes a bit more, and make sure it’s ready for players at scale!
