EA Major Update 2!

Steam post image You read the dev logs, you playtested, you left feedback, and now - the second major Early Access update to Rogue Point is live!

This update brings along an in-game map, permanent operator progressions, new skills, new weapons, new cosmetics, AI updates and MORE… Let's dive into what's new!

Update 2 Highlights 🌟

In Game Map

The game now allows players to open the planning map in-game. The map will display:

• The player's location

• Other players' locations, whether they are above or below you, and if they are downed

• Stash room locations

• Drawings from the planning phase

  

Permanent Operator Progression

We’ve added permanent player progression to the game. Completing missions, phases, and campaigns earns you “Rogue Points” (RP). These can be spent at the Operator Profile/Cosmetics screen to permanently upgrade your Operator! This gives your operator two systems to use: the Skills system within a campaign, and the Operator Progression, which saves to your character forever! You can also respec your Operator at any time if you feel the need to change things up.

New Skills

We’ve added 20 new skills designed to diversify abilities and make operators more unique (Increase shotgun damage? Or faster revive speed?). This gives the players more decisions to make as they play!

1. Shotgun Mastery - Increase shotgun damage

2. SMG Mastery - Increase SMG damage

3. Rifle Mastery - Increase rifle damage

4. Grenade Mastery - Increase grenade damage

5. Less-Than-Lethal Mastery - Increase LTL damage

6. Pistol Reload Drills - Increase pistol reload speed

7. Shotgun Reload Drills - Increase shotgun reload speed

8. SMG Reload Drills - Increase SMG reload speed

9. Rifle Reload Drills - Increase rifle reload speed

10. Less-Than-Lethal Reload Drills - Increase LTL reload speed

11. Firing Position - Decrease recoil while not moving

12. Head Hunter - Earn health on a headshot

13. Vampiric Punch - Earn health on melee kill

14. Trauma Surge - Faster revive speed

15. Critical Care - Increase the amount of health an ally receives on revive

16. Health Transfer - Earn health by healing/reviving

17. Morale Boost - Earn health by completing an objective

18. Explosion Dampener - Reduce explosion damage

19. Slapdash - Increase the distance of melee dash

20. Light Foot - Decrease noise when walking

We’ve also added a feature to re-roll your skill choices on the skills screen for $500.

Controller Support! (Work In Progress)

We added controller support for the game. We built the game from day 1 with controllers in mind, but it has many menus and features we would like to support. Please give us feedback on what you like and don’t like, and any features you may want in the future for controllers. Thanks!

Glass Updates and Fixes

• Players can now punch glass again

• Glass has much lower health

• Fixed clients not being able to pass through broken glass

• Grenades can be thrown through glass, and the glass affects their trajectory

New Achievements

We’ve added a number of new achievements designed to give players some extra high-level goals to progress towards. We have more to add with the next update and are looking into possibly adding some cosmetic unlocks hidden behind certain achievements. Steam post image

New Weapons 💥

FLX-R Rifle

A compact bullpup semi-automatic rifle that keeps overall length to a minimum, while providing a balanced mix of control and firepower. Steam post image

Maverick Shotgun

A small shotgun that is easy to carry. Designed for breaching, but can also be used in short-range engagements. (This gun can be used in place of a secondary weapon.)

Austrian Full Auto

Similar in design to other Austrian models, this version has a “fun switch” to enable full-auto or semi-automatic fire. (We also added the 50-round drum magazine to the standard Austrian.)

RCD Tiger

This shotgun has a dual-fed magazine tube that allows for high ammo capacity and hard-hitting ammo.

New Cosmetics 😎

Summer Hawaiian Shirt

Be sure to bask in the glorious rays, as you continue to WIPE OUT🏄🏻‍♀️ the MERX threat.

Track Suit

When you really want to phone your drip in, nothing does it better than this! At least your face will be covered.
