Patch Info
Recommended Level: N/A
Summary
Some more of Story Mode's dead ends in the world have been filled!
Details
About the patch
Like the previous patch, this one makes the game a bit fatter by filling in some "holes" in the world (and in some cases just adding more stuff)!
Since the content is quite spread out, the easiest way to find it is to use the completion tracker on the world map!
With this patch, we've now almost reached the point we've been aiming for in terms of side-content. There will be one more Frontline-patch of this kind, and then we'll move on to finishing (?!) both Arcade Mode and Story Mode!
Happy holidays, everyone!

What's next?
There are still some things we need to get into the game before embarking on the final stretch of development towards 1.0! So expect one more Frontline update of similar type and size, and then all the new side content will appear on Stable.
