Update 0.8.0.0 - Beyond the Beaches

Treasure huntin' beyond island coasts!

Fresh off our Anniversary comes an update that crosses boundaries! Get ready to hit the open waters - both under and yonder - for some crazy loot!

Strayed Update 0.8.0.0 opens up the blue seas for the looter latest tourist attractions - the mighty Ocean Fort and the Sunken Ships! We're also making it (humanly) possible to do undersea explorations with the all-new Scuba Gear! This also comes with the Oceanic Skin Set that matches your future voyages perfectly. And we're topping it all off by hitting close to home with the Large furnace, Garage Door, and new furnishings. Sounds just right for another set of Strayed binge nights!

So - we'd love to ask you by quoting a famous pirate's question - are ya ready kids!?

The Ocean Fort - As massive as the loot in there!

Behold - the mighty forgotten fortress of the Strayed seas - the Ocean Fort.

Little is known about this gigantic floating base in the middle of nowhere. For some reason - its silhouette just appeared on the horizon, as if it's calling out to whoever can see it from the islands. Nevertheless, the first Strayer surveyors checked this massive fort and reported that it was definitely abandoned.

However, it was also indicated that there were a bunch of crates with valuable stuff scattered around. There's even a rumor of a locked room deep inside that houses even more valuable items. Surveyors detected at least 5 "high-tier" crates inside, just couldn't confirm since they didn't have"Level 3" access. How unfortunate.

From the first ones, only a few could go home alive. For what's left of them, they told stories of being attacked by another group of bald men seeking nothing but loot. If you're looking to visit the Ocean Fort - we suggest extreme caution.

They also reported flying gulls before arriving at the fort, which leads us to the next one...

Sunken Ships - Treasures of the deep!

So, why are those mysterious birds circling above the water? Some of the surveyors just had to check it out - and it was none other than Sunken Ships!

These long-forgotten shipwrecks were once shipping both men and crates alike. Since men aren't as durable as these wooden or metal boxes - besides the wreckage itself - the crates were left for anybody to scavenge. Surveyors reported as many as 4 to 5 of these crates lying around.

Sounds like free loot for anyone, right? Yes - for everyone, that is. And as the surveyors have said - just keep an eye out for those gulls flying overhead the seas, they're pretty much markers for these submerged memories.

How would you manage to survive without air under the sea? We're glad you asked...

Scuba Gear - For Safe Undersea Traversal!

Undersea travels - now formally introduced with the all-new Scuba Gear!

With the Scuba Gear, you won't have to worry about losing your breathe underwater. Just buy one of these bad boys from your nearest depot (or just loot them from Medium-tier crates), strap yourself in it, and bon voyage!

Wait - you can't walk underwater! The all-new swimming system allows you to travel underwater like you would IRL. Just remember - breast strokes without the legs - should be easy to master.

Oh, and by the way - any injuries or casualties caused by using the all-new Scuba Gear for more than 10 minutes will not make the makers liable. Buy at your own risk - and use with caution!

New Base Deployables - Livin' Large!

Going straight home - you're now faced with some of the newest, state-of-the-art deployables - courtesy of our renowned Strayed engineers! First off, the Large Furnace. We know that you've been wanting one. Who doesn't want faster smelting? This one will make sure you're cookin' like you're on a summer day family barbecue!

Next up - Garage Doors! Tired of the same old double door systems of the old? These state-of-the-art, independent Garage Doors make sure that you can enter or exit your base with style. And obviously - this sets up the future possibility of being used as it should be - for a base garage. Now what are garages for, hmm? We wonder...

Alright - going fast here now - Chairs! A hard day's Strayer work deserve some sitting down on the throne, thinking about what he's done (positively, negatively speaking, or both). Plop this one down anywhere in your base and you're in for the sitting of your life.

And what could be better than having your own Table after the chair! At last - something you could use to put things down for real. No more using boxes for cups of coffee (or tea). Try to put something on it - we're sure its legs can hold it.

Oceanic Skin Pack - Voyagin' in Style!

And toppin' it all off - we're introducing the Oceanic Skin Pack!

Includes both a newly-skinned Bolt Action Shotgun and Bolt Action Rifle, this new skin pack offers a design perfect for seafarin', ship scavengin', fort lootin' Strayers out there. Just look at that perfect shine - just like how a pirate would care for its arsenal.
