changedSpecial Rocket "Ice"Special Rocket Ice got its name because if you hit the enemy's car with it, it freezes the enemy car, disabling it completely for a short period. Your enemy becomes one big block of ice, and while it's frozen you can shoot it and make major damage to the enemy while it's defenseless.
changedSpecial Rocket "Follower"Special Rocket Follower is guess what? Following enemy! - Right! Special Rocket Follower is a homing type rocket and if fired in the direction of an enemy, either car or turret, it will detect and crash down onto your enemy guided by high precision technology. Rocket picks enemy homing type same as Homing Missiles (Q key missiles), so make sure you change it depending on your target preferences (Default is "X" key to toggle homing type between car & turret).
addedCrosshair messagesHave you wondered many times why my rockets aren't firing, or maybe why is my gun not shooting? Probably you have, and probably the reason wasn't a bug, but either your gun was overheated, or your rocket launcher was reloading. To make it more obvious, we added "Crosshair messages". If you try to fire the main gun or rocket launcher, and it's not available at the moment, it will write you a message near the crosshair, stating why it can't do the firing.
changedFireproof Paint in CareerFrom now on in the Carrer Marketplace, you can buy special fireproof paint for your car. Protect your precious ride from fire damage, and be more safe in combat.

New Special Rockets

Two new Special Rockets are our biggest hit for this update. Special Rocket Ice and Special Rocket Follower are inspired by some older games from the genre, and we tried to convey the same feeling of those rockets in Chaos on Wheels.

Special Rocket "Ice"

Special Rocket Ice got its name because if you hit the enemy's car with it, it freezes the enemy car, disabling it completely for a short period. Your enemy becomes one big block of ice, and while it's frozen you can shoot it and make major damage to the enemy while it's defenseless.

Special Rocket "Follower"

Special Rocket Follower is guess what? Following enemy! - Right! Special Rocket Follower is a homing type rocket and if fired in the direction of an enemy, either car or turret, it will detect and crash down onto your enemy guided by high precision technology. Rocket picks enemy homing type same as Homing Missiles (Q key missiles), so make sure you change it depending on your target preferences (Default is "X" key to toggle homing type between car & turret).

Crosshair messages

Have you wondered many times why my rockets aren't firing, or maybe why is my gun not shooting? Probably you have, and probably the reason wasn't a bug, but either your gun was overheated, or your rocket launcher was reloading. To make it more obvious, we added "Crosshair messages". If you try to fire the main gun or rocket launcher, and it's not available at the moment, it will write you a message near the crosshair, stating why it can't do the firing.

Fireproof Paint in Career

From now on in the Carrer Marketplace, you can buy special fireproof paint for your car. Protect your precious ride from fire damage, and be more safe in combat.

Career car unlocked in local play

We know you worked hard to get your ride just right in the Career, and now you can play it in Local play without needing to unlock all the parts in local play mode. Your Career car is fully unlocked in local play, no questions asked.

Other changes

Several Sound Effects were improved and added to get us one step closer to better game immersion. We did some polish on maps Valley, Ice Road, Abandoned Race Track, and on map Military base. We also made some slight HUD and UI tweaks making it look better. With some small bugs squished that would be all for this minor update. We're looking forward to hearing from you guys, and happy chaos making! Until the next one!
