addedKill It With Fire 1.1 is now available and with it comes some pretty big changes to your favorite spider hunting simulator: new equipment, a new spider variant, special settings for arachnophobes, overhauled gamepad support, multiple save slots, and (of course!) the Omega Files! Let’s break it down:

addedVacuumNext, let’s talk equipment. There are two new weapons added in the update. The first is the vacuum. You can use the vacuum to “suck up” just about anything laying around, including spiders. Then you can switch the vacuums direction and shoot it all back out. You can find the vacuum in “Domestic Duties”, appropriately enough.

addedDroneThe second new weapon is a remote-controlled drone with a bomb strapped to it. While you’re flying the drone, use its thermal vision camera to locate spiders, then swoop in and self-destruct. The drone is available in “Consequences”.

changedArachnophobia SettingsAre you terrified of spiders? If so, I have good news. Kill It With Fire now features special options for people with arachnophobia. Simply open the settings menu (from the main menu or in-game) and customize the options to your liking. You can disable “scary spiders” to make them look more blobby and less spider-like as well as disable their SFX, the jumpscare sounds, and creepy music. Please let me know whether or not these settings helped you to enjoy the game! Are there any other settings you’d like to see? Accessibility is always an ongoing conversation and this is just a first step!

addedSupplyderNext up is a new type of spider I like to call the “supplyder”. It’s basically a spider with a supply crate strapped to its back. When you damage the spider, the crate breaks open and ammo pops out. Neat, huh? You’ll start encountering supplyders in “Domestic Duties”, so keep your eyes peeled!

addedOther Cool StuffThe last major new item in v1.1 is improved gamepad support. Kill It With Fire now features enhanced aim acceleration while using the gamepad. Also, spider hitbox size has been increased while using the gamepad to make using weapons like the revolver, silenced pistol, and throwing stars much more feasible.

Let’s break it down:

Omega Files

If you’ve already played KIWF you may have discovered some random manilla folders featuring the omega symbol, the last letter of the Greek alphabet. Well, I hope you remember where you found them because now you can collect and read them to discover the answers to some of the game’s many mysteries. For instance: why are there so many spiders? Where are all the people? And what’s the deal with the cheese puffs?

Vacuum

Next, let’s talk equipment. There are two new weapons added in the update. The first is the vacuum. You can use the vacuum to “suck up” just about anything laying around, including spiders. Then you can switch the vacuums direction and shoot it all back out. You can find the vacuum in “Domestic Duties”, appropriately enough.

Drone

The second new weapon is a remote-controlled drone with a bomb strapped to it. While you’re flying the drone, use its thermal vision camera to locate spiders, then swoop in and self-destruct. The drone is available in “Consequences”.

Arachnophobia Settings

Are you terrified of spiders? If so, I have good news. Kill It With Fire now features special options for people with arachnophobia. Simply open the settings menu (from the main menu or in-game) and customize the options to your liking. You can disable “scary spiders” to make them look more blobby and less spider-like as well as disable their SFX, the jumpscare sounds, and creepy music.

Other Cool Stuff

Do you have a friend or family member who wants to play the game, but can’t because you don’t want to erase your save file? You’re in luck as KIWF now features three save slots! Your original save automatically takes up the first slot. To erase a slot, simply select it and choose Erase Save game from Settings -> General.

The last major new item in v1.1 is improved gamepad support. Kill It With Fire now features enhanced aim acceleration while using the gamepad. Also, spider hitbox size has been increased while using the gamepad to make using weapons like the revolver, silenced pistol, and throwing stars much more feasible.
