Happy New Year Scavs!

We’re hard at work on the next update and wanted to give you the lowdown on some of what’s coming soon.

The current focus is on quality of life and debugging. For instance: we are scrubbing quests to make sure they are all functional and looking at the feedback and community comments to find trouble spots. We are also looking at specific AI interactions to improve them, including but not limited to tank vs. mech combat.
