New Vehicle

We've introduced a lot of new content associated with resource gathering over the past few maps, so now it's time to get back into adding some awesome new PvP related features for you to enjoy.

Introducing the Mercedes G63, the newest vehicle to be added to Outlands! This speedy new car has a high speed that is 33% faster than a Jaguar helicopter and can seat up to 4 people.

This vehicle can only be obtained through the PvP Points shop, which will be explained in detail below.

PvP Points Shop

When killing a player from another clan, you will no longer receive clan points (Warehouse resources), instead you'll receive PvP points.

Clan Points now are only obtained when you are adding resources to your Tool Cupboard or by winning events like Champions and Altars. In the new PvP Points system players will be awarded 2 points for killing a player who is a Villain, and 1 point for killing players who are Neutral or Hero.

The points you earn can then be spent in the PvP Shop, which is accessible through the Tool Cupboard menu. The clan owner can spend the points on a bunch of different items, including the new vehicle and more.

Vehicle Turbo & Bulletproof

To further improve vehicles on Outlands, this upcoming season we're introducing 2 new ways to upgrade and customize your vehicles - using Vehicle Turbo and Bulletproof items.

Turbo
The Turbo is an item that increases the vehicle speed when right-clicking it onto a vehicle. It comes in 3 tiers - Turbo tier 1 increases the speed by 20% and can be found in Loot III crates or the PvP Points shop. Turbo tiers 2 and 3 increase the vehicle speed by 40% and 60% respectively and can be found only in the PvP Crate.

You can easily recognize which vehicles have Turbo activated by checking if they have a lava particle on top of the vehicle.

Bulletproof
The Bulletproof armor item is the new way to protect yourself while inside a vehicle! There are two bulletproof options, the Small Bulletproof item can be found in Radioactive Barrels or in the PvP Points shop. The Premium Bulletproof item is winnable from the PvP Crate. When right-clicking a vehicle with one of items, the vehicle will consume it and damage taken after that will be absorbed by it.

This means, that if your vehicle has 20 Bulletproof armor levels, then you the player, can take 20 hits until your Bulletproof armor runs out and your vehicle will take damage again.

You can easily recognize vehicles that have Bulletproof armor by checking if they have a white particle in the middle of the vehicle. If your vehicle has both additions on it, then it will display both particle effects.

Fly-PvP Mechanic

This update is an attempt to create more skilled PvP, instead of combat scenarios being won due to having a higher number of players fighting on your team. This new Fly-PvP mechanic encourages players to be more accurate with specific weapons to give them a significant advantage.

The Fly PvP allows players to be knocked into the air, and if you fire your shots accurately you'll freeze your enemy in the air for 1-2 seconds, thus giving you a higher chance to win fights.

This mechanic is initially going to be applied only on the Thompson and MP5SD guns, as they have a considerable rapid-fire aspect.

Orepiles EXP Increase

This change to Orepiles aims to improve the system in a way that keeps the game balanced, so from the next season onwards, Orepiles will have their EXP doubled if you’re at the level 300 or higher. This means that it’ll be faster to level up if you grind Orepiles with your clan members.

Bounty Radar

The Bounty Radar is a useful item that enhances Minimap functionality, as it allows you to see where players are that are wearing Mythic Kevlar or Soldier Equipment. These players are marked by small red dots, and the map is updated with their location every 3 minutes.

This means you won't be able to directly find the location of a player however you will know that they are in the area and can search for them. The Bounty Radar can be found exclusively in the PvP crate and lasts for 12 hours when activated.

Clan Slots

For the upcoming Outlands season the clan slots are being kept at a higher number, however we have decided to slightly decrease it to 8 members with no upgrades, and 9 with upgrades.

We'll be monitoring this change closely to see how it changes life on the server, but so far we have only seen positive effects since clans were encouraged to meet new players and add them in their teams.
