Update 1

Highlights:

-New Mission: Extraction

Find and extract the downed pilot and his gear.

-Weapon Jamming

Added 'failure to feed' and 'failure to eject' malfunctions that are cleared by cycling the bolt again. Jam chance is based on the weapon and magazine, so some magazines jam more frequently than others for the same weapon. Additional malfunctions with more advanced clearing procedures are planned for the future.

-New Chest inventory

Hold 'Trigger' over your chest pouches to open them (with an empty hand or when holding an item that you want to store). If a held item is within the pouch's bounds and it's not intersecting with another stored item, then you can store it. Items can be positioned and rotated however you want within your pouches as long as there is room. Stored items also effect your character's speed and agility, so be aware that more doesn't always equal better!

Closing:

This release took a few weeks longer than I originally planned for, but I'm glad that it's finally out on the main build. Considering that Version 2 is still rather young and doesn't have a lot of content, I revised the roadmap to ensure quicker update cycles (1-2 months) to help bump up the playtime and variety.

The new extraction mission is something more akin to the missions in Version 1, so hopefully it fills that void for those of you who miss the lone wolf, high-risk gameplay that it provided. For weapon jamming, I decided not to add an option to disable it due to how rare it happens. The system will definitely be expanded in the future, especially as larger-scale missions are added, and features like weapon maintenance and environmental effects are planned.

Update 2 has a smaller scope and should have a much shorter development time, so be on the lookout for that! It will include a Huey door gunner mission, manual item/weapon pose adjustment, and improved weapon handling.
