- *UPDATE* Naughty Dog have also tweeted that Golden Abyss Drake and Guerro are also available as FREE DLC
We get a whole ton of new customization options! Here’s a short video showcasing some of the new taunts, parts and skins available in the patch.
It’s quite a step up from the crappy options we had in November, ND have said they will keep updating with new items so hopefully we’ll get the customization we’ve hoped for since the June Beta landed.
It seems that items can now have stats. In the image, we can see that there is a mask that gives +10% to sprint recovery and -5% to blindfire or something. So far it seems they are only available on headpieces (every character including DLC skins have one), hopefully ND will continue to add more pieces with stats in the future.
As mentioned above, there’s new trophies for each of the DLC packs, but it won’t count the medals you’ve already earned, you’ll have to get them again in order to unlock them.
Other Gameplay
- New level badges
- Sniper-Pistole TDM gametype has been added to the Advanced Game Settings
- Experimental Block Mesh Lab Maps
Who knew textureless maps could look so cool?
Tournament System
- New Ticketing system. User gets 10 free tickets at the start of each tournament
- New Tournament occurs on 1 week cycle
- Bronze tier earns Gold AK, Gold G-MAL, Gold M9 (prizes are unlocked for the entire duration of the next tournament cycle)
- Silver Tier unlocks Shade Jacket and Shade Armor (prizes are unlocked for the entire duration of the next tournament cycle)
- Gold Tier unlocks Shade Clown Mask, Shade Skull Mask, Shade Glasses (prizes are unlocked for the entire duration of the next tournament cycle)
- Leaderboard integration
- Special long Term Prize (Djinn Skin for getting 6 Gold Tiers is unlocked permanently)
A new leaderboard for people not to exploit! Well…hopefully
- Your performance in the tournament is calculated using the following formula:
Note that you get 5 times the points for playing solo as compared to in a party of five! But anyway, you get 10 free matches a week (game type undetermined yet), but you can also pay to get more chances for points. So it’s kinda fair I suppose since you could in a sense pay money to obtain those items.
Legacy Unlocks
Legacy levels 4 and 5 will be unlocked, which gives new clown masks that have ‘stats’ on them to boost your attributes.
- 2 New Legacy levels (Legacy 4 and Legacy 5) with an increased Cash requirement to complete
- New Legacy items to unlock
- Highwayman Mask unlocks at Legacy 4
- Lucha Mask unlocks at Legacy 5
- 5 Emblem Parts unlock at Legacy 5 (Two Skulls, Demon, Mad Scientist, Shade Skull, Super Skull)
- Legacy 5 Level 75 unlocks new versions of the 4 clown masks, now with stats
Gameplay Fixes
There does not seem to be any additional new gameplay fixes since Part 1 of the patch notes was announced 2 weeks ago, but here they are again:
- Increased recoil has been added to the G-MAL
- Deathmatch will now appear in round 5 instead of round 3 in Team Objective game modes
- Quitting out of Co-op will no longer count as a Competitive loss when signing-out/disconnecting
- Lab games no longer count towards the Leaderboard
- Death from Above medal now requires the player to be at least 2 meters off the ground
- Players can earn more than 1 “Here, Hold This Medal” in a match
- A collection of trophies have been added for each DLC pack available (50 total new trophies)
- The TAU Sniper Pistol has been tuned so the rate of fire is up 30% and you pick 6 instead of 3 bullets upon collecting new ammo now
- The M9 blindfire accuracy has been reduced by 10% efficiency
- Cloaked level 3 is now immune to the effects of Disruption (it wasn’t working properly so we fixed it)
- Marked Men now migrates properly to another player if the marked man drops form the game
- Gunfire is no longer silent when using the shield
- Teleporting with Smoke Bomb while holding the Idol is no longer possible
- An issue with the shield that allowed players to remotely control the turret has been fixed
Straight from the horse’s mouth
Final Comments
Wow, talk about a mega patch indeed! This is certainly a mouth watering patch in terms of new content for players to enjoy/collect etc, and it really makes me imagine just what’s possible from now on. Hopefully ND continue to support the game like this and don’t drop the ball on future updates!
