What's New In This Alpha

Art

• Card art has been added for Super Scav Party

• Card art has been added for Screaming Scav Delilah

Delilah

• AddedNew Character => DelilahDelilah is now available to unlock in the store, currently for 500 Crowns. While we anticipate unlocking additional characters by progressing the story, we’re not there yet, and want to take this opportunity to test her out. Delilah has a unique passive which gives her two automatically equipped ability cards (Hunker Down and Grapple) instead of an attack card. 10 new cards have been added for Delilah. Descriptions and ways to obtain them are in the catalog menu.

• New Ability Card => Hunker Down

• New Ability Card => Grapple

• New Ability Card => Fresh Meat

• New Ability Card => Wait For Me

• New Ability Card => The Old One-Two

• New Ability Card => Reckless Swing

• New Gear Card => Spike Strips

• New Gear Card => Shock Strips

• New Gear Card => Lard-Covered Arm Guards

• New Gear Card => Ham Hocks

• Because she does not have an attack card, Delilah cannot use Bits of any kind

Store

• Delilah specific gear cards in the store cannot be purchased until Delilah herself has been unlocked

Bugs & Misc

• Improvements to UI animations on title screen
