New & Improvements
Act 2 - next chapter of our Story, this time action revolves around Danny’s way to the Harbor, being stalked by foes and using some ingenious ways to make the trip easier for himself.
Cold Wave - New Game Mode - a new competitive game mode that allows you to test your survival skills against other players trying to climb the Leaderboards with each new run.
New Side Quests:
"Missing In Action" - Available in Story and Survival Game Modes.
"Survivalist Instinct" - Only available in Story mode (Act I).
"In Distress" - Only available in Story mode (Act II).
"Truffle Pasta" - Only available in Story mode (Act II).
"Upgrade Your Shelter" - Only available in Story mode (Act II).
Trolley Taking Damage Mechanic - It’s active in Survival Game Mode from the start and after you complete the main quest line in the Story Game Mode. The Trolley gets damaged over time and you need to look for the spare parts to keep it running.
Axe Rework - Axe was reworked in the same new system as the Spear in the past update, it includes new animations, and the ability to block among other minor changes. It’s still a tool, not a weapon, so don’t get too eager to hunt Wolves with it but it can be used in an emergency.
Trauma Rework - right now Trauma is more manageable without compromising its effects on the gameplay. Each effect is now timed and will deactivate after some time, which you can further decrease using various methods such as Comfort Foods etc.
New Symptom: Panic Attack - Occasionally triggered while
