New Gameplay Mechanics
Emote System - Part One
We’ve added an emote system for quick communication among teammates in multiplayer
Players can either:
Emote during action
Select your desired emote which will then populate next to your name plate on the left side of the HUD on your teammates screens, as well as above your head
Use an emote as a map marker
By doing this, you can communicate what action you want to take in a specific area of the map
Current Emotes include:
Extract!
Fight!
Injured!
Need This!
Yes!
No!
Expect this feature to become more robust over time. We’ll continue to make improvements in future updates!
Gear Upgrade Machines
Find these machines out in The Overgrowth — There will always be one or two per map. Pay Bright Blood to get an upgrade drop, this will randomly upgrade one piece of gear by +1, one time
The gear upgrade drop will be un-interactable if the player has no upgradeable gear
In multiplayer, any player can use the Upgrade Machine, but each player will need to collect the drop from it independently
Obelisks
Find obelisks out in The Overgrowth
Bloodletter Protocol Obelisk
Pay to activate these Bloodletter Protocol Obelisks which will summon a wave of enemies. Gain hp for each enemy you kill
In multiplayer, players within radius of activation are given the buff, and the Obelisk is disabled for all players after activation
Armor Obelisk
Pay Bright Blood to interact with the Armor Obelisks to drop an item that will recover all Armor shards and add +1 to players max armor
In multiplayer, any player can use the Armor Obelisk, but each player will need to collect the drop independently
