| 260s | you'll unlock them as you progress in |
| 262s | the main campaign also noteworthy |
| 264s | previous front-end tutorials have been |
| 266s | replaced with a new system that explains |
| 268s | features as they become available |
| 274s | existing players have probably noticed |
| 276s | pretty big changes in this overview |
| 278s | we've removed the old skill and research |
| 281s | trees both were slow to navigate could |
| 284s | be difficult to understand and had some |
| 286s | choices that weren't always meaningful |
| 288s | with these changes we move the more |
| 291s | impactful gameplay choices directly into |
| 293s | the upgrades room the basic feature |
| 296s | unlocks such as survivor slots and |
| 298s | evolution are now quest rewards in the |
| 301s | campaign storyline additionally we've |
| 303s | removed some restrictions such as the |
| 305s | requirement of leadership nodes in order |
| 307s | to play a particular class this should |
| 309s | help smooth out the flow of the game |
| 310s | with the skill tree removed we filled in |
| 313s | the account level up rewards with for |
| 315s | stats upgrade points and more in a |
| 317s | future release we'll be adding a feature |
| 319s | that allows players at max level to |
| 321s | infinitely earn an additional reward |
| 323s | each time they would have leveled up |
| 325s | again don't worry when you changes go |
| 328s | live your account will be just as |
| 330s | powerful as it was before our goal is |
| 332s | that you will automatically be given any |
| 334s | rewards you would have been granted for |
| 336s | leveling up and any features you |
| 338s | previously unlocked should remain |
| 340s | available you'll also have an equivalent |
| 342s | amount of points already stored in |
| 343s | Lara's research lab based on your |
| 346s | existing research progress we know |
| 348s | there's a lot of new stuff to take in so |
| 350s | we're also granting existing players a |
| 352s | way to reset the new upgrade room and |
| 354s | research lab a few times while you |
| 357s | figure things out I know we covered a |
