Hey, Crewmates! It’s been a few months now since our February patch. In that patch we added the Seasonal Crew Gear & Weapons system, which meant that additional Blueprints could be found throughout the Wasteland but only for as long as the season for each added set of Crew Gear and Weapons was open. Some of you have quite rightly pointed out that this meant the ‘Every last scrap’ Achievement became unobtainable if you missed just one of the Blueprints during the season and that you’d have to wait a whole year just for the season to re-open so that you could try again! Therefore, today we are

Hey, Crewmates! We hope you're still enjoying conquering the Wasteland - thank you so much for the support so far! We're dropping by with a slightly larger patch this time. Let us help you get settled in as we explain the newly implemented Quality of Life improvements, driving options and difficulty settings. PATCH NOTES Added options to turn off the driver’s ability to automatically avoid obstacles and follow roads. This was following feedback from players that the driver's AI would sometimes behave in an undesirable way around certain environmental objects. With these options, players can no

Hey, Crewmates! Dropping by with another Hotfix to address a few more issues players have reported to us. Your feedback and reports are really invaluable to us, so please keep them coming! HOTFIX NOTES Fixed an issue where players were getting stuck in a slightly submerged road, east of the Vultures Rise. Fixed an issue where the "Instant repair chance" perk would only proc once per mission. Fixed an issue where switching LMB/RMB would result in the incorrect input for attacking boarders, attacking boarders used RMB, not LMB as players would expect.

Hello, Crewmates! Put those keys in the ignition, we are only 3 days away from release! This is going to be a quick one from us today – we wanted to chat about pricing, launch and bundle discounts. Quite a few people have asked us what the price will be ahead of launch on Monday, so we thought we’d drop by and give you an overview of what to expect, either as a new player or a veteran to the franchise. But before we get to pricing, we’ve got a new trailer to show off! NEW TRAILER – WATCH NOW Buckle up, our brand-new trailer has just dropped on YouTube! Check out a preview of the high-octane ch

Hello, Dave from Runner Duck here! I wanted to complete our series of posts about the enemy factions you’ll face in Badlands Crew with a look at ‘The Gun Nutz’… To the South East of the starting area of Home Plateau lies the red eroded desert of the Lower Badlands, where you’ll run into The Gun Nutz patrolling its valleys and canyons. The Gun Nutz are descendants of a community of preppers who sprung into action as society crumbled, gleefully raiding army equipment storage sites, claiming the vast majority of conventional firearms and military vehicles in the land. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44301076/

Hi! Jon from Runner Duck here, sharing a quick look at another of the enemy factions in Badlands Crew - ‘The Klowns’. To the East of the Lower Badlands, in the glistening whiteness of the Dessicated Salt Flats, is where you’re most likely to first encounter the Klowns faction. Devoid of shame, the Klowns intentionally appear ridiculous in order to obfuscate their true ruthless nature. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44301076/6630fa11769c9cc1b170e2c7428592ba77067748.jpg A Klowns “Ice Screamer” and “Re-Educator” terrorising the Salt Flats The Klowns are ruled by “Giggles the Klown”, their psychopathic leader
