What are we up to? - A closer look to Laurel's Arsenal and Skills

First of all and as always, Laura and I want to thank everyone and especially all the supportive members in the forums that helped us answer, offering help or sharing helpful tips to players.

As we keep making good progress on the development of the new campaign, today we want to show you some really interesting features and weapons of Laurel's campaign.

First let's take a look at some of Laurel's unique weapons:

Tactical Knife and Metal Baton:

• Laurel's high agility allows her to use short range melee weapons with high efficiency, dealing faster hits from a safer distance.

Taser Gun:

• A Custom Taser Gun developed by Wilhelm Supplies for the Alba City Police Department. Its unique ultra charged wireless needles allow it to fire two times per cartridge. Don't let the Warning Message annoy you and use it at Max Voltage!.

• Make sure to make the most of each shoot by using the environment, a deep puddle can be your best friend!.

Flamethrower:

• Summer is near and so are the BBQs! This well known weapon is a must of the Survival Horrors and has finally landed in Echoes Of The Living, now you can roast zombies and burn bugs!

Grenade Launcher:

• Let's bring the big weapons! Laurel doesn't know how to craft grenades but that doesn't mean she can't blow things up.

Now let's take a look at Laurel's combat skills:

Laurel has not as much experience as Liam with handguns, that means that her reloading times will be longer.

However her time at the fire range has paid off and allows her to reload Shotguns and SMG's way faster. (These are also the new Standard Animations for the Shotguns as we mentioned on the other post)

Special Skills:

Laurel also has unique passive skills that will make the gameplay quite different from Liam, her height and weight will allow her to move faster and easier to avoid enemies, she will be also able to dodge incoming attacks if timed properly. These advantages also have a downside, since Laurel's HP is lower than Liam's and while her extra pockets will help you carry more items, her weapon slots are more limited (Keep an eye for upgrades!).

Her smaller size compared to Liam will also allow her to reach areas that Liam can't reach, unlocking new areas of the City and allowing progress on her story.

And last but not least, a feature to examine and interact with your weapons!.

This feature is part of the inventory/item box upgrades that will include stackable grenades, a better map system and the storage box list not resetting after picking an item.

And that's all for now! I want to apologize for the updates not being as common as these past months but being a team of just two is making things much more time consuming and Laura and I are 1000% focused into finishing Laurel's Campaign. None the less we are always reading your feedback on the forums and taking notes!.

Thank you so much for being part of the Development of Echoes Of The Living.

See you in the next update!

Best regards, MoonGlint Studio (Alvaro and Laura).
