New World Map
We are excited to share with you all the awesome new map for the upcoming seasons of Outlands! This winter themed map comes with 3 biomes, 6 cities - including the Farmhouse, as well as 3 caves and the infamous Oil Rig.
The 3 biomes - Ice, Spruce and Plains have plenty of snow, custom trees, Orepiles and Woodpiles.
There have been a few changes to the Oil Rig this season, with it now being situated on an island in the centre of the map. Players will need to cross the frozen ice and fight to get to the abundant resources that previously surrounded the outside area of the Oil Rig. As well as those changes, the island is now way bigger than it has ever been before, and with this change we also have added a bunch of builds you might recognise from previous maps.
Caves are now bigger and deeper than ever before, with different characteristics and resources. This means that you'll need to travel to each cave system to gather different resources, instead of camping around a single one. You will be able to find 1 Cave system per biome.
Farmhouse Event
You can find the Farmhouse in the Plains biome, it's a city with plenty of barrels but no radiation. This never ending event behaves like King of the Hill, where a zone must be captured for you to begin obtaining buffs!
To begin capturing the Farmhouse, you must stand in the capture point for 2 minutes without interruption. Only 1 person can capture the point at a time, and if they leave the capture point then their progress will be reset.
When you've hit 100% capture, you will begin gaining a 2x leather boost on top of your already existing boosts. Due to the event never ending, this means that the point will be available to be captured at any time!
Limited Winter Texture Pack Changes
For this festive season of Outlands, we wanted to add a few small changes that are a bit of fun to play around with during the winter celebrations. The first change being the Tier 2 base building block is now a Candy Cane texture! We expect to see some awesome festive-looking bases all around the map.
The second addition is the Christmas Snowballs! You can find these small items in Barrels and you can throw them at other players! We're looking forward to seeing some epic snowball fights in the upcoming season. We hope you're looking forward to these seasonal changes and wish you a very Happy Holidays!
