Gun Texture Remodels
We know which guns are most frequently used on Outlands, and have decided to revamp their item models to give them awesome new textures! Please note that this does not mean that their gun aspects such as damage, range, recoil etc have been changed - this is just a visual update! Take a look at what you can expect to see in the upcoming reset:
M4A1-S
FNFAL
M14 Desert
AS50
Illegal Farms
One of the things that we are passionate about avoiding on Outlands, is creating a realm where players are mostly AFK; where you don't have to spend a lot of time grinding resources to become one of the top teams in the payout rankings, and instead have everything automated for you.
As a result of this, we will be decreasing the points that Ethanol gives you when you place it in the Warehouse, from 32 points to 10 points. Additionally, Refined Titanium will have it's points increased from 5 to 10!
We hope that this will encourage more grinding and hard work, instead of relying on automated processes, or only coming online to reap the rewards.
Vehicle Changes
In the upcoming season, players will now be able to slow down a vehicle's speed by shooting at them! Chasing down those speedy enemies will now be easier than ever, as the lower the vehicle's durability, the slower the vehicle will be.
This means that you've got to make sure that your vehicle's durability is high as you could be caught out in a fight with no means of escape! This gives players the incentive to focus on destroying vehicles, as we know how frustrating it can be when you're fighting enemies and they can get away easily.
Free Attachments
We want to make our awesome attachments more accessible for everyone, as previously they were only available to purchase through our server store. Now, there is a chance for attachments to be found inside Cave Barrels!
Here's what attachments are currently available that you could find in one of the Cave Barrels:
Slowness: Chance to apply slowness when shooting enemies.
Blinding: Chance to apply blindness when shooting enemies.
Firing: Chance to apply fire when shooting enemies.
Extended Mag: Higher ammunition clip based on the default gun ammo.
Resistance Penetration: Higher durability removal on enemies armor when shooting them.
Impulse: Chance to get a backward boost when shooting blocks close to you.
Explosive: Chance to apply explosive area damage when shooting enemies.
Bleeding: Chance to apply bleeding when shooting enemies.
Clan Roster
For the upcoming Outlands season we have decided to increase the clan slots to 4 members with no upgrades, or 5 with upgrades. There will be no allies.
As well as that, we are introducing a new menu that will have all the features accessed through the /clan commands - making your life just that little bit easier when it comes to clan system usage.
