Hi everyone, I wanted to fix some user bug reports, thanks to everyone who reported! -Fixed hat pickups showing the wrong name. -Fixed some broken localization text -Reports indicated randomizing spawns for bonus scans often broke them or spoiled the intent of the challenge, so random spawns are for base scans only now. -Fixed swapping from lift grenade to explosive grenade using radial menu. -Toggle surf now also applies to sprinting.

1.121 Hi everyone, just a couple of fixes for reported bugs! -Fix rogue finale achievement not unlocking when beating rogue in Under The Clouds (If this happened to you make sure the main menu says version 1.121, then load the save then go to pause menu -> settings -> gameplay -> refresh achievements.) -Fixed incorrect totals in load profile menu along with completionist badge not showing for Under The Clouds

Hi everyone, just a couple of performance related tweaks! -Added more shaders to the precompilation that happens behind the scenes in the main menu, this should reduce stutters for new players, and maybe some returning players too. Note that Unreal Engine 4 doesn’t support this for some raytracing shaders, so RT players may get stutters on occasion (but once the stutters happen the shader gets saved and it shouldn’t happen in future plays). -Reduced resolution on some new textures like submarine and deployable lift.

Just a couple quick fixes! And something new for level makers. -fix laser sight on shotgun and sniper -fix save slot completion labels -New experimental feature for level editors, Island 2.0, which lets islands overlap and merge. To use, use the “Island2” button where you normally spawn islands, Island2s wont merge with old islands. Also working with the shape feature is generally smoother.

What's the best videogame shotgun? I've always been partial to the Gears of War Gnasher and MW2 Model 1887 akimbo, but there's one weapon that stands tall above the rest: Doom's Super Shotgun. The double-barrel death machine is unmatched. It's loud, powerful, and truly unforgiving in a way many shotguns can only dream of. Well, one of my favorite modern FPS experiences just took a leaf out of Doom's book, and introduced a boomstick to rival the best. This is Echo Point Nova, and it's even on sale right now. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Movement FPS Echo Point Nova goes roguelik

Hi everyone, New content update! Let's get right into the feature list: New weapon, sawn off shotgun! Devastating in close range, with a small magazine size and wide pellet spread to balance it out. Or unlock an extended barrel and scope for skeet style shooting! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43789406/ceb1193f500735a2fa5a69f6644e1b7bcdab04ba.gif New sniper rifle, and tweaks to old sniper rifle. I've moved the DMR sniper rifle to the assault rifle category and extended it's magazine, so it plays like a semi-auto battle rifle now. In it's place is the new MR3006 bolt action sniper rifle! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}
