408s sorted as soon as possible so keep an
410s eye out we'll we're going to get it

418s head on over to to the event stuff now
420s just so you guys know first cenia and
423s anton are not the only ones joining me
424s today we actually do have two other

435s your chat in the chat say hello to
436s everyone please hello
438s um and yeah so later on we're going to
440s be talking with somebody from game
442s design and somebody from the narrative
444s design team so we're going to be talking
446s a little bit more about the story side
448s of traders moon and mr sherry
451s so with that we'll head on over to the
453s presentation
455s and
456s yeah so like i said with the stream
457s rundown we're going to do the overview
459s we're going to go through the new
460s weapons and event unlocks and then we're
462s going to have a bit of a chat with about
464s mr shari and traders moon with our
466s narrative team or at least one of them
468s and one of the members of our nerd
470s but with that we'll start off with
472s trader's moon overview so as everyone
475s has probably seen from our announcements
477s already the event starts on tomorrow on
480s the 24th of march and will run until the
483s 14th of april
485s now with this event we have a couple of
487s things lined up so uh xenia anton i'm
490s going to let you two talk about the the
492s new things that are coming here with
494s this event so first up
496s so uh for this event we prepared
499s something special for you uh first of
501s all uh
503s with this event uh you will get to brand
506s new weapons
508s as you can see it's uh
510s mentioned on the screen that it is early
512s access and we will talk about that
515s very soon uh but that's not the only
518s thing besides that we also will have two
521s brand new variants
523s also in the early access
526s and
528s uh four new legendary weapon unlocks
531s so we have a lot coming with this event
533s um a lot and and like we said the new
535s weapons are probably one of the biggest
537s things um and we have a lot to talk
539s about with them but the weapon
541s specifically we'll go into a little bit
543s later with uh the game design guys um
546s we'll follow on with kind of what else
548s is kind of common with traders moon
549s because you know we we have a few things
551s here that um you know are a little bit
554s extra something we haven't really done
556s with the events before um so first off
558s we have a new addition which is story
561s unlocks so with the event itself is as
563s you're progressing through the event you
564s will unlock parts of a story that we
566s have created based on mr sherry and his
569s outings here with the traitors moon
570s event there's going to be 15 parts in
573s total
574s so if you want to you know catch up and
576s read up on all the parts you'll have to
577s progress through the entire event
580s we also have a new event specific trait
583s coming so this would be something that
584s is going to i believe continue even
587s after this event
588s uh it is uh something new that we're
590s bringing in just to give that extra
593s little bit of something um to help
595s people along uh through their
596s progression
597s and then finally we have some extra
599s bonuses now probably like what are you
601s doing about extra bonuses well we'll go
603s into that a little bit more in a bit
605s more detail in a while
607s so
609s anything to say before we switch on and
611s show everybody the the latest event
613s screen
616s sure sure okay
617s so here is the traders moon event screen
620s here is what you're going to be greeted
621s with when the event starts tomorrow as
624s you can see uh similar to the last event
626s the point total is ten thousand
628s and you'll notice there's a lot of
629s weapon unlocks some ammo unlocks a
632s couple of legendaries and some cherry
634s contracts and you might also notice as
636s well some blood bond unlocks that come
638s with
639s uh some of them so
642s you know i mean everyone knows
644s everyone knows what this screen looks
645s like but you know that will show you
647s anyway uh but anton senior yeah but uh
649s yeah there is like one thing you can see
651s that this screen looks a little bit uh
654s you know more empty than it is usual
657s there are a few reasons for that and one
660s reason i'd like to keep it as a secret
661s so you can go there play the event and
666s see like what this screen will reveal to
668s you yes it's a good thing i haven't
670s really taken any proper pictures of the
672s full screen but
673s um we will show some parts of it but
677s yeah you know we want you to go and at
678s least find something yourself so
681s can i also quickly add there since you
683s mentioned this that blood bonds are
684s finally back into the event progression
686s because i also want to bring the good
688s news yes yes yes yes that is definitely
690s good news i know that it's something
692s that we have been asked quite a lot over
693s the over the last few months and with
694s the last few events it wasn't a thing
696s but yes that is correct along with the
699s uh boost contracts there's an extra 100
701s blood bonds added as a reward so with a
704s at each one of those where you get the
705s boost you also get 100 blood bonds so
707s i'll help you towards whatever legendary
709s you want to buy
711s so yeah so with that then we just you
713s know quickly go through this i mean
715s the the the main premises of the event
718s is
718s quite the same as what they have been
720s previously you know um you collect event
722s points you unlock and you know there's
725s nothing too extraordinary or out of the
726s ordinary with this event now we know we
729s have gotten some feedback that can be a
731s bit samey you know um so we wanted to
734s just let you know that we are we do have
736s plans uh in the future for changing up
738s and mixing up the events a little bit i
740s don't think we can go into too much
742s detail on it right now
744s but uh
745s we are going to be doing some different
746s stuff so senior anthony i'm pretty
749s certain there's nothing really we more
751s we can say other than that but if there
752s is anything you'd like to add please do
755s uh well
757s i don't know we can jump to the like
760s event points yeah basically so i can
763s explain something
764s yeah uh
766s yeah so uh
768s for this time as you can see on the
770s screen we
772s like again rebalanced uh the point
775s sources a little bit
776s and well currently uh there are a lot of
780s um
781s you know posts uh about uh that
784s yeah like uh with this uh destroyable
787s objects uh and uh other stuff uh we are
790s uh
791s yeah kind of it it becomes kind of like
793s repetitive
795s and so but uh
797s i don't know like some of you might
798s notice that
800s with the
801s like previous event and even before that
804s we actually started to move slowly
806s towards
807s uh more
809s like core gameplay features core goals
812s that you need to
814s do animation
815s so
816s uh yeah with the
818s effigies
819s that we currently have with this event i
821s would consider them as a
824s you know additional source
826s of
827s event points but uh basically what we're
830s trying to do is to focus even more on
832s the core
834s gameplay part from the like our meta
836s gameplay part and yeah because of this
839s we basically added a
841s new source of points that
843s was
845s never
846s presented in these events before
850s now you can get
853s 30 event points if you extract with at
855s least one bounty
857s uh please notice that uh the bounty they
861s are not stackable so uh you can get 30
864s points uh like no matter how many bounty
867s you have
869s either if it's like one or four of them
872s you will get just 30 points cool yeah
874s that's actually the first thing i was
876s going to ask you actually was what did
877s that stack because we've been asked so
879s no that's good to know so so yeah like
881s you said we're just trying to do a bit
882s more of focus on the objective itself
884s you know the clues the the pvp the
887s getting out with the bounty so i mean
889s like you said this was a lot of feedback
890s we've gotten through a lot of the last
892s few events so you know we kind of we're
894s trying to make sure that you know we
895s don't just do things we do actually
897s listen to what you guys say you know but
899s uh so as you can see i mean the points
901s have been up there for a while you
902s probably see them already but just to
903s give you an idea of what it is you're
905s going to be smashing around when you do
907s find them the big ones are the um
910s orwellian effigies the uh kind of three
913s tumbleweed ones are classed as the small
916s orwellian effigies and then the other
918s one the tiny little tumbleweed thingy is
920s um the effigies that drop from the boss
923s and yes i did call it a tumbleweed
924s thingy i don't know the technical term
926s or we're just going to make it the
927s technical term from now on
929s so maybe later bree we will educate you
932s how to properly call them yes from the
934s narrative perspective yes that's
936s actually yeah good thinking how to use
937s any good thinking
939s so um yeah so that's that's how you earn
941s event points this time so um we'll just
944s you know where we continue we'll go
945s through a quick overview of what you can
947s actually unlock so you'll notice uh
950s first off in the within the first three
951s unlocks you were looking the two new
953s variants that we spoke about the
954s scottfield brawler and the berthier post
957s which we've been cheeky enough to slip
958s into images everywhere over the last
960s couple of months and only a handful of
962s people noticed but you know so we've got
964s these two brand new variants which we
966s mentioned at the start are two of the
967s early access options the caldwell newer
970s model 2092 the new army never before
973s seen weapon was never on test server or
975s anything like that so no one's ever
976s tried it out or anything and obviously
978s oh that's a joke but um and the winfield
981s 93 slate um so yeah so as you see with
985s the basically the start the event is
986s about getting you those weapons as soon
989s as you can within the first half at
991s least
992s um
993s as we said with the contracts you have
995s the two hour boost contracts with the
997s hundred blood bonds
998s and then after that it goes through the
1001s uh the ammo for the ammo types for um
1004s each of the
1006s two new weapons
1007s so we have the fmj and the sorry the
1009s dum-dum and the fmj from the caldwell
1011s penny shot in the slug for the wind
1013s field and then the four other legendary
1016s skins
1016s so and we'll go through those skins a
1018s little bit later on in the stream
1022s so the next thing as we all know has
1024s become synonymous with our events
1027s shari contract
1029s and as you know may have noticed shari's
1031s been mentioned an awful lot and he he
1033s plays
1034s a bit more of a part in things this time
1036s around than just giving people an extra
1040s boost
1041s so
1043s first off anyway you'll see in store in
1045s the events page
1046s the contracts page as usual so we have
1049s same uh four ones that we've had
1051s the implied the fix the express and the
1053s binding i believe it's like two hours
1056s seven hours
1058s three days 24 24 sorry
1060s 2 hours 24 hours 3 days and 7 days
1065s the duration duration uh as for a
1068s previous event uh all this metrics has
1071s range
1072s boost points boost uh and range dark
1076s side
1076s uh event vision almost uh the same uh
1081s the thing is like i'm already
1083s looking at the many many questions that
1085s like if contracts will be automatically
1087s applied from the event progression and
1088s when when they purchase yes they will
1092s uh yes they will they will be
1094s automatically applied uh but also to
1097s compensate maybe some frustration that
1099s we heard from uh previous events that's
1102s basically the reason why we add uh the
1104s reward on the progression track together
1106s with the contract blood bonds
1107s so basically this unlock should be
1110s treated as you're working towards like
1112s your reward which is a blood bond and on
1114s top you're getting the contract that up
1115s to you as a player if you want to use or
1117s not but it will be applied automatically
1121s yeah so that's uh that's pretty much
1124s everything with the contracts i mean
1125s there's nothing out of the ordinary or
1127s overly new with them you know you still
1129s get your boost just look at your points
1130s you still get the time um and yeah and
1133s as you can see the prices are there as
1134s well um but the next thing though just
1136s to show you about the with the in terms
1138s of the store um is actually the traitors
1140s moon event bundle
1142s that's also something similar or what we
1145s had for a winter event
1147s uh traitor moon was bundle will contain
1150s uh one of the contract
1152s uh uh 1000 event points and the
1156s legendary skin for choke bomb cicada so
1158s basically it's a like
1160s starter or progress pack if you want to
1163s uh
1164s progress faster or run out of time you
1167s can you can purchase this bundle and the
1170s it will grant like all this
1172s uh all these things simultaneously also
1175s uh it was to mention that bundle can be
1177s purchased like in any time no matter
1180s where you are at the progression this uh
1182s 1000 event points will be automatically
1184s added there and will unlock like
1186s everything what's on there
1188s also worth to mention that uh all these
1191s three items inside the bundle so one
1194s thousand event points uh it's a cut the
1196s skin and cherry fix contract for sure
1198s obviously they can be purchased
1200s separately so
1202s if someone doesn't like bundle can
1204s purchase and needs need only a choke
1206s bomb skin the choke bomb scheme can be
1208s purchased separately the same with one
1210s thousand event points and obviously the
1212s contra contract can be constantly
1213s repurchased during the event
1215s uh one important thing to mention then
1218s one thousand event points can be
1219s purchased only once so it's not
1222s something that someone can just like
1223s click with blood once and complete the
1224s event no it's one time purchase it's
1227s either purchased together with the
1228s bundle and then this item becomes
1230s unavailable in the event store or can be
1232s purchased once uh separated but then
1235s bundle becomes unavailable as well
1238s cool that's a lot of info thank you very
1240s much for that
1241s that's awesome so uh yeah so i think
1244s that's they're the kind of the main
1245s things that we need to go over on that
1247s side of things uh with the events to the
1248s next stop though we should talk about
1250s the uh early access weapons
1253s um so like we said at the start we've
1255s got two uh brand new variants and two
1258s brand new um uh weapons uh that you know
1262s i've never never before been seen
1264s um uh so yeah four brand new weapons
1267s that are unlocked through the event
1268s progression like we showed earlier on
1271s these weapons cannot be purchased until
1273s they are unlocked so you have to unlock
1275s it through the event and then you have
1277s it'll be available to you in the store
1278s so that you can
1280s purchase as normal
1283s here's where the early access part comes
1284s in
1286s once the event ends
1287s the weapons will only be available to
1289s those that unlocked it during the event
1292s for a short period of time so before
1294s everyone goes crazy on this we're going
1297s to clarify it will be a short period of
1299s time there's only a couple of weeks
1301s but basically the weapons will be there
1303s during the event you unlock during the
1305s event you get to keep them
1307s if you prestige though i i actually said
1309s yeah maybe you can clarify will
1310s prestiging um
1312s remove the weapons
1315s no it won't if you are prestigious
1317s during the event the
1320s the weapon will stay there
1323s and it also will stay during the whole
1326s early access period so uh you can
1329s prestige how many times you want and the
1332s weapon should stay there it's kind of
1334s same some of our players are already
1336s like familiar with that system because
1338s we had somewhat similar during the
1341s uh light the shadow event with the bow
1343s and arrow and throwing axes yeah yeah
1347s and then after then it will be like a
1349s short period of time a couple of weeks
1350s the weapons will then be released with a
1352s future update and will be available
1354s through the standard bloodline
1355s progression so that will just be the
1357s main base weapons of course the
1358s legendaries are uh for the event uh only
1362s you look like you're about to say
1363s something senia
1365s no no okay
1367s just making sure but yeah so that's
1370s that's the situation with the early
1372s access weapons so like we've said just
1373s to recap you can unlock the weapons
1375s during the event absolutely no problem
1377s once they're unlocked you get to keep
1378s them even if you prestige once the event
1381s finishes they are no longer available
1383s except until a couple of weeks passes
1385s and with a future update the weapons
1386s will be released to everybody through
1389s the standard uh bloodline progression
1392s yes and after yeah after they are fully
1394s released they follow like the same rule
1397s as any other weapon in a game so if you
1400s decide to prestige after that
1403s then
1404s this weapon will be removed and you will
1406s need to unlock that again from the
1407s bloodline progression
1409s cool
1411s right so that's it on the weapon side of
1413s things anyway and like i said we'll
1414s we'll go through the the weapons a bit
1416s later with game design and talk about
1417s the new ones um and show off all the
1419s pretty new uh legendaries that that we
1421s have um but the next thing to discuss is
1423s the extra bonuses and the first thing
1426s is our new event trait
1429s which is called the signee
1432s so to read it off increase dark sight by
1434s three meters and boost event points by
1435s ten percent
1437s an important part which is nice that
1439s it's even in the actual description of
1440s the note please note if you have a
1442s hunter with this trait after the end of
1444s the event the trait will be removed and
1446s the trade points will be refunded
1448s so and as you see it is
1450s 10 upgrade points
1454s so yeah what so the the
1457s event trait why where where did this
1459s where did this come from why why why was
1461s this a thought process for you guys what
1463s was it that's kind of made yeah let's
1464s let's put an extra little something into
1466s it
1467s uh
1468s i don't know like the the the general
1470s idea behind that was that uh we'd like
1473s to you know
1475s give another sources of uh extra event
1478s points so people can actually you know
1481s choose between like different builds
1482s like either they want to
1484s uh
1485s you know play more efficiently or maybe
1487s they want to focus on uh collecting
1490s event points so
1492s yeah the idea here is uh just to give uh
1495s like
1496s another option of how you can earn uh
1500s event points a little bit more uh
1503s you know a
1505s bit more efficient yeah give an extra an
1507s extra boost throughout the event for
1508s whatever hunter you can stick it on to
1511s yeah here
1512s hear me out there's the story so when
1515s when we were when we were in
1517s uh like process of designing and like on
1520s the very very early stage of the event
1522s there was saturday evening anton and i
1524s were sitting and discussing like we need
1526s to add something on the on the game like
1528s directly on the gameplay side what what
1530s can boost and what can help people to
1533s make points and then we're just like
1536s trade
1537s event trade that should be event trade
1539s and uh again next time for so we were
1542s keeping this idea like over the weekend
1544s and on monday we decided to verify this
1547s and still sound good
1548s so we just decided to uh bring this to
1552s to the event
1553s i mean that that's that's how this
1555s that's how this decision was made
1557s regarding the trade
1559s good to know
1561s but yeah um
1564s i've seen i'd like to go and talk about
1567s it quite a lot so yeah we know like the
1568s the the 10 upgrade points we see a lot
1570s of people saying it's a bit much and we
1571s understand that but it is one of those
1572s things that is going to be refunded so
1575s if it so happens that it's on a hunter
1576s that you intend on keeping for a while
1578s once the event is over you get those 10
1580s points back so you so you can use them
1582s for uh whatever it is you need for the
1584s chunks or other traits or anything like
1586s that so um just keep that in mind this
1588s is just an extra little thing you know
1590s it's not needed it's not necessary um
1593s you you'll be able to progress through
1594s the event
1595s you know pretty much no issues the same
1598s um but it's just a handy little extra
1600s thing if you've got some great points to
1601s se to spare
1604s so um with that then we we
1606s as we're talking about the extra bonuses
1608s um we'll go through the next part which
1611s is
1613s the traders moon dlc hunter event boost
1617s i can take over from here uh so
1620s as you know together with the event we
1622s are going to release
1625s um meridian trunk called dlc
1629s yes
1629s correct correct my my spelling if i'm
1631s wrong
1632s uh so and basically using the hunter
1635s from this dlc also will give you a boost
1638s post point so basically you can just
1642s uh equip this hunter to do mission to
1644s bounty hunt or
1646s quick play
1647s and you will get permanent bonus for
1649s event points and for for the dark side
1652s that's basically how it works okay
1655s um
1655s [Music]
1658s but
1659s yes uh
1661s the thing is that not only uh turncoal
1663s the only brand new hunter will be will
1666s provide this bonus but also but also
1668s three preview previous already existing
1670s uh hunters that you can already even own
1673s so you just need to equip them uh to the
1675s mission go to the mission and bonus will
1677s be automatically uh automatically
1680s applied to this hunter and the bonus so
1684s basically there's a turn called keith
1686s the rat and the hunter was with which
1689s name i'm struggling always to pronounce
1690s so please rick do it for me lauren is
1692s there
1694s thank you
1695s so and uh this 400 countries will grant
1698s uh plus 10
1700s of the event points boost and plus three
1702s meter of the dark side vision increase
1704s so and looking at the comments in the
1706s chat they're like oh three meters for
1708s the trade it's so it's so lit so it's
1710s not actually helping but now imagine
1712s that you have the trade and you're
1713s playing with this hunter so and they're
1716s stacking between each other
1718s so that's completely different the
1720s different topic there
1723s well yeah so
1725s again just an extra little thing you
1726s know it's not something that you have to
1728s do but
1729s so happen to have these hunters is
1731s definitely something that you can't take
1732s advantage of um and again just like the
1735s trade just like everything else really
1736s it's just that extra little bonus to be
1738s able to help people to get through it
1739s maybe you don't have as much time
1741s uh you know
1743s there could be multiple reasons but you
1744s know it's just to give everybody an
1746s opportunity to be able to earn as much
1748s as they can during their time
1751s but yeah it's also worth the mention
1754s that uh all of these bonuses they are
1756s stackable together so to get maximum
1760s performance you can uh
1762s play with the this specific hunter you
1765s can get a trade and you can also put a
1767s cherries contract on top of that to get
1770s even more event points
1773s cool cool
1775s so shall we go on to what i think might
1777s be the last thing for we're gonna
1779s discuss for the event
1781s yes but it's like exciting because it's
1783s bonuses that we mentioned at the start
1788s yes this would be the last uh extra
1791s bonus thing i believe
1793s um a second
1799s sorry no two seconds here trend i'm i've
1801s gone a bit lost
1803s um
1809s yeah so yeah sorry about that folks just
1811s kind of trying to catch up on something
1812s here um but yeah so the last thing that
1814s we want to talk about in the bonuses
1815s anyway then is the
1817s loyalty bonus
1819s loyalty bonus yes uh so we are calling
1822s this
1823s loyalty bonus now but in the game it
1825s will be called ardent price so mr cherry
1828s is going to thank you for participation
1830s in the event and grant you 800 of blood
1833s bonds if you will complete uh three
1836s three conditions so first of all you
1838s need to complete the event and unlock
1840s all rewards in the event we are not
1841s talking about bonus part which will be
1843s converted to hundred dollars just to
1845s complete the event progression
1847s second thing uh if you will purchase the
1850s uh legendary choke bomb from the event
1852s store
1853s and third if you will purchase the
1855s meridian tricond dlc mr cherry will
1858s thank you with 800 blood bones which is
1860s which will be given back to you uh once
1863s event is over
1865s oh yeah so
1867s there it is just again added extra
1869s little thing like everything else that
1870s we've gone through on these extra
1872s bonuses um so yeah i mean i don't really
1874s think there's there's much else uh to
1876s say about that guys um one thing that
1879s somebody asked and i think we should
1880s cover well just we're talking and and
1882s we've touched on it a moment ago um the
1884s trait the event trait will this drop
1886s from meatheads does it have the
1888s potential to drop from them
1891s uh know
1892s uh this uh trait uh won't like be
1896s dropped from the mid heads uh as well as
1899s it won't appear for uh these uh hunters
1902s that you purchase uh no matter like
1905s which hunters they are like legendary or
1907s regular ones okay so it's not included
1910s in the in the the random
1912s ones they're given okay that's cool
1914s so uh i mean that is pretty much it for
1917s the quick overview of the event itself i
1919s mean we will have a blog going out
1922s later today uh to that will go into more
1924s detail on everything like this and also
1926s show off some of that so make sure you
1928s check that out and follow our social
1929s channels um to keep up to date with
1931s anything and everything that is going on

1939s joining me and going through the event
1940s and it was a lot shorter this time
1942s around but we you know we've we've done
1944s these event streams quite a while so
1946s it's it's kind of okay to to just hear
1948s through it we've covered the main points
1950s um and if there's any questions by all
1952s means people can ask them in the chat
1954s and uh on in our discord and on our

1962s little bit later on for a bit of q a at
1963s the end
1964s um but for now you guys get to relax and
1967s i get to talk to paul for a little bit
1970s uh thank you
1972s thank you for having us
1973s no worries great to have you
1975s see you soon
1978s and here we are with paul montgomery on
1981s the game design team our junior tech
1983s designer paul welcome to the stream
1985s again mate we've uh we've kind of
1987s updated your um
1989s your image a little bit you're no longer
1991s the kid like you have been in previous
1992s streams uh but unfortunately i couldn't
1994s find that one today so you're the black
1995s coat on stream today
1997s so uh paul tell us a little bit about
1999s yourself i know you've been on stream
2001s before i'm sure a lot of people remember
2002s you but that's what you do
2005s yeah so hey everybody uh hey rick
2008s um so i'm a junior technical designer um
2011s and i worked on the weapons for the this
2014s event
2015s right okay so you you've been the one
2017s kind of primarily working on all the
2019s brand new stuff that's coming
2021s uh yeah of course i i'm one part of the
2024s team that worked on the weapons i'm not
2026s an artist or anything like that so of
2028s course yes of course yeah
2029s from the game design expert anyway yes
2032s cool
2033s well i mean with that i guess we should
2035s probably just kind of get into talking
2037s about the weapons i know everyone's
2038s interested we've been teasing them a
2040s little bit we you know had them on the
2041s test server recently as well for uh just
2044s to
2044s you know check out a few things make
2046s sure that everything was in working
2047s order um so we'll go back to the
2049s presentation here and first things first
2051s we're going to talk about
2054s the
2055s winfield slate
2058s yeah let's paul take us through it
2061s so uh as
2062s rick said some of you may have already
2064s played with these weapons uh but
2067s uh we obviously made some changes from
2068s the test server so let's just go through
2070s uh what these new weapons are for people
2072s who also didn't play so yeah the
2074s windfall 93 slate is a new shotgun it's
2078s a large slot six round capacity pump
2080s action
2081s uh similar to the spectre
2084s but this one um also has a newer
2087s mechanism so it's it was made slightly
2089s uh slightly later in in the period so
2092s yeah this spectre was in like the 80s or
2094s something like that yeah yeah 1880s yeah
2096s yeah and then this one's the 93 so this
2098s one is a bit more modern not in terms of
2101s our times but in terms of their times it
2103s was
2104s cutting edge you could say
2106s um
2107s which
2108s makes it
2109s a bit kind of better in in some ways and
2111s a little bit worse in other ways so for
2112s example it uh it's easier to like rack
2115s the slides so it's we we have a faster
2117s rate of fire on this one right
2120s um we also uh can
2123s allow for a faster reload
2126s this mainly because the inspector
2128s doesn't uh allow you to
2130s top up the tube without opening the
2132s slide so this one does allow that and
2134s that's that's the the whole pop-out of
2136s the cartridge thing as well it's like
2137s you know it's it's a little bit
2139s different from this because i believe
2140s what we have on this one and we'll go to
2142s the next page um is a top load uh
2145s ability built into this
2147s yeah so um
2149s well we could just go through the the
2151s ammo that we have yeah we have slug and
2153s penny shot so that's the customer we
2155s have and here you can see on the screen
2157s the amounts that we give yeah these were
2159s some values that we tweaked based on the
2161s test server feedback so these are the
2162s new values um people didn't get to see
2165s those
2166s uh but one very important thing about
2167s this weapon is it does not require
2169s bullet grabber because of this uh for
2172s its ability to top up the tube without
2174s having to open the slide
2175s right um
2177s and then another cool thing that it says
2178s on the screen there is that you can load
2180s one directly into the chamber um which
2183s only happens when it's empty right but
2186s this makes it
2187s makes for a quick recovery if uh you're
2190s completely empty you can just quickly
2191s put one in cancel and you've got one
2193s round to go if you're in the corner or
2195s something like that i believe we have a
2197s video of that in a moment so we can we
2198s can show that in action which is it's
2200s pretty cool it does it i it does kind of
2202s make it very handy and kind of
2205s like oh [ __ ] moments you know um that's
2207s the only way to kind of put it really to
2208s be honest with you you know so but but
2210s first off we'll give everybody a look
2211s for those of you who haven't seen it
2213s already so this is the will winfield
2214s 1893 slate uh i got two lovely shots of
2218s it there so um next we have the the
2220s first video and hopefully this plays
2223s without any issue um and this is just no
2226s traits no nothing just standard using
2228s the gun
2231s or tower it always gets
2234s destroyed
2235s yeah
2236s one day i'll take its revenge i'm sure
2238s sure it will i'm sure
2241s so as you can see the the rate of fire
2243s is
2243s not significantly but slightly faster
2245s than the spectre yeah um and you got a
2248s glimpse there at the the loading from
2250s the top of the chamber as well
2253s yeah i think i can go back to it once
2255s more and
2260s so you can you can see i mean straight
2261s off it is it does feel much faster uh in
2264s in your hands in comparison to the um
2267s the spectre so um
2269s i think it's i think it's really cool
2270s i've had a chance to use it it's a lot
2272s of fun really to be honest with you um
2275s it's a great one to bring in but we have
2277s another video here of using the
2279s correct me if i'm wrong the iron
2281s devastator trait yes yes so it would be
2284s the aim down sights uh trait
2290s uh it's worth noting um i recorded this
2292s video and
2293s the rate of fire is technically faster
2295s here but we kind of gauged rate of fire
2297s here based on actually how fast you
2299s could use it because you can shoot
2301s before the sights line up but it's just
2303s not practical so
2305s um yeah yeah i kind of
2307s re found my target here and shot again
2309s so yeah
2311s oh yep and then the last one then is uh
2315s this is uh oh actually it's repeating it
2317s again once more because you know the
2318s presentation does whatever the hell it
2320s likes
2323s it has such a beefy sound to it i really
2325s love it
2327s i know it's probably not the most
2328s important thing but like to me i just i
2330s love this the the way the sound team
2332s design um the sounds around their their
2334s weapons are so
2335s it's just
2336s yeah it's it's beautiful but then next
2338s up so we have what you were saying about
2340s that kind of quick reload um uh uh thing
2343s where it's like you know if you're
2344s completely empty you can pop one in for
2346s a quick shot pop one in for a quick shot
2348s and uh we'll play that there
2350s so you see no ammo whatsoever pops what
2353s within
2361s so you can see here you can interrupt
2363s the the charge that you would normally
2365s do and then just it straight up put one
2367s in so you don't have to wait for it to
2368s charge and then put one in makes for a
2370s really quick
2372s uh you know safety shot if you need to
2374s if you're in trouble
2376s yeah
2377s i've also just realized i was talking
2378s about the sound and there is no sound
2380s playing
2382s from it so yeah i'm very sorry about
2384s that folks um
2386s yeah just dev stream things you know not
2388s nothing to see here but look take my
2389s word for it it sounds beautiful okay
2391s it's really nice and
2392s punchy it's probably the only way i can
2394s describe it but sorry paul you were
2396s saying
2397s yeah it's just uh the interesting thing
2398s we wanted to to address with this one is
2401s that
2401s it is a lot newer in terms of technology
2404s compared to the spectre so um that was
2406s one of the the main design
2408s points that we wanted to show with this
2410s weapon
2410s of course the the main difference here
2412s with the specter is the specter is a
2414s long barrel so and this one's a medium
2416s barrel so this one will perform a little
2419s bit worse in terms of you know effective
2422s range and damage and stuff like that so
2424s it's one thing to keep in mind with this
2425s one as well cool
2427s right awesome well with that i think we
2429s can probably move on to the next one
2431s then
2432s yeah i think so the next up is the
2434s caldwell 92 new
2437s army yeah so
2440s yeah this one is our new small slot
2441s compact ammo double action revolver with
2444s a six round capacity
2445s quite a mouthful there but yeah yeah it
2447s is
2448s but if you get it right it just rolls
2450s off the tongue you know yeah exactly um
2453s so this one is most comparable to the
2455s negan officer and uh also the scott
2457s field and we can kind of say why in the
2459s next slide so yeah
2462s yeah so in
2463s oh carry on no no you're
2468s yeah
2469s so in terms of uh the scott field uh the
2471s cylinder is the most similar part and
2473s how it's reloaded because it is a break
2476s open um
2478s revolver but this one it's a slightly
2480s different because it it breaks to the
2481s left so it rolls out to the side
2484s which is so field as a top break right
2487s yes exactly yeah yeah um and this one
2489s uses
2490s like it says there an injector to remove
2492s the use rounds
2493s the two differences here is that this
2494s one is a manual ejector the the hunter
2497s actually has to move them themselves
2499s right uh whereas the scott field kind of
2501s does it when the action is open so you
2503s can kind of flick it open right
2505s but this one is just iconic revolver i
2508s think in a lot of games you'll see you
2510s won't see the top top break you'll see
2512s always a slide out um
2514s swing out revolver which makes some
2515s really cool animations
2517s okay and and how then does it compare we
2519s said it also has a comparison with like
2521s the nagant a bit um so where is that
2524s in terms of the gun play what what we
2526s kind of
2527s expect to see there
2529s yeah so i mean the main thing is it's
2531s also a compact ammo so
2534s it
2534s doesn't have as much stopping power as
2536s the scott field so
2537s in terms of the nagan this one is also a
2539s double action like we mentioned before
2541s which means you don't need to [ __ ] the
2543s hammer
2545s manually it will just automatically do
2546s it when you pull the trigger far enough
2549s so that's that's where it's the closest
2551s which means it can fire quite fast uh in
2554s terms of uh comparing to the officer it
2556s is a little bit slower in terms of rate
2558s of fire
2559s but it's also made up for in the fact
2561s that the bullet on this gun was actually
2564s slightly bigger than the um
2567s you mean
2568s you mean the real life uh
2570s yeah yeah yeah exactly yeah um so we
2573s wanted to make sure that you know we
2574s followed the real life kind of
2576s sizing here we made a little bit more
2578s damage in terms of because of the bullet
2580s being slightly bigger
2581s and of course
2582s one another cool uh cool thing was that
2584s the real life bullet also uh just wasn't
2587s as fast um but this wasn't always just
2589s because of the bullet um the actual the
2592s gan officer um
2593s was a bit newer so it had this new this
2595s like technology where it could seal the
2598s the chamber closer to the barrel which
2600s meant that it could
2602s a lot less um
2603s speed was lost from uh that like hole in
2606s between the two so this one uh doesn't
2609s have that so again it's quite a bit
2611s slower which is its main drawback uh
2615s compared to then again
2616s okay cool
2618s and then the ammo types
2620s yeah so nothing brand new here obviously
2622s we we already have these ones but this
2625s one also has dum-dum and fmj so fmga is
2627s a good one here obviously everyone knows
2629s that i mean
2631s so yeah definitely so it is a nice one i
2634s mean i'm i'm not going to lie i'm quite
2635s partial to the dum-dum ammo myself just
2637s because i find it really funny to make
2639s people just bleeding yeah from distances
2641s you know yeah same with the shed it's
2642s just i just i i enjoy it what can i say
2645s i'm weird but uh you know yeah so uh and
2647s i mean we see there it's like six uh six
2650s in the chamber 12 uh reserve
2652s so um yeah we'll just show a couple of
2654s pictures of it then and we have i think
2655s one video of it you don't really really
2656s need many more videos because it doesn't
2658s it's not like the the slate and working
2660s with traits or anything like that but uh
2662s so here it is um and you can see
2664s it's you know beautiful caldwell
2667s and then this kind of shows you a little
2669s bit more that that uh that that uh
2671s release um for
2673s that we were talking about sorry my mind
2675s has drawn a blank with the the ejector
2678s the ejector that's it yeah the little
2680s plunger so um and we'll still see that
2682s in action anyway as well here in this
2684s video so here we go through it
2687s probably no sound again but most likely
2690s it's likely not no sound i have no idea
2692s how to make it sound so i'm sorry folks
2694s you're going to have to
2695s bear with us
2697s just wait until tomorrow and or a couple
2699s of days after you'll be able to you know
2701s hear it yourself in all its glory
2711s here i think you left it so that you
2713s could reload a couple of bullets at once
2714s and to show your sway as well
2716s yeah exactly so i showed off the sway
2718s like uh all of our uh semi-automatic uh
2721s pistols uh is increased the more you the
2724s the faster you fire i also wanted to
2726s show off like the scot field here it has
2727s two versions of the of the reload
2729s animation uh one when it's empty and
2731s then one when it's not it's partial
2734s i'll play it watch that one yeah one
2736s more time so the first reload will be
2738s from empty and you'll see them use the
2740s plunger to empty them all out
2745s very smooth
2752s and then yeah like i said you go you
2754s show off the sway as well uh from the
2756s rapid fire get down to one last bullet
2759s and you'll see the single uh single uh
2762s reload
2770s so definitely by the looks of it anyway
2772s it's definitely better to just unload it
2774s completely and then reload
2776s um at least just from the reload times
2778s but it does look a lot
2780s speedier uh when it comes to using uh
2783s when it's just completely empty you know
2785s yeah same with the scott field it was
2787s kind of the thing we wanted to
2788s show here
2790s um one other thing it's also worth
2792s mentioning we we haven't got any videos
2793s of it but of course this is a small slot
2795s pistol so it's also dual wielder ball if
2798s that's a word yeah
2800s it is now we're
2804s they can also be used for jewelry
2807s cool
2808s so with that then we'll move on to the
2810s uh the legendaries
2812s so i've also actually included some of
2815s the the normal ones i showed some extra
2817s pictures of the brawler and the riposte
2818s just for for for people to see
2820s so um
2822s first off we have the scottfield model 3
2824s brawler
2825s so this is uh one of the new additions
2827s one of them i think the first one you
2828s can unlock i put them in order so it's
2830s the first unlock you get uh through the
2831s event
2832s then next up we have the berthier repost
2838s and
2839s then to what we've just shown the new
2841s army revolver the caldwell model 92
2846s and then next the slate shotgun which
2848s we've shown
2849s and then we move on to the event
2851s legendaries themselves and so we have
2853s them in order here so here is the
2856s eclipse for the scottfield brawler it's
2858s very very beautiful um i i have to say i
2861s feel the art team have really outdone
2863s themselves once again with how awesome
2865s it is um just the moon on the handle and
2867s everything it's just absolutely
2868s beautiful
2870s yeah and then the next is for the model
2872s 92 which is ochenkov's heart
2876s and then next up we have the sumness the
2880s winfield 93
2884s and then
2885s actually that's i don't believe i think
2886s there is another one after that but i
2888s may have missed it my apologies then we
2890s have the cicada choke bomb that we
2893s showed earlier on
2894s and then from the dlc we have the
2897s meridian term called dlc there is the
2898s red cask and
2901s to end it with the ambush and crossfire
2905s so
2907s those are all the unlocks well almost
2908s all of them i forgot one of them
2910s unfortunately
2911s uh and those are all the new weapons so
2913s yeah i mean it's uh
2916s it's nice to have a few new weapons
2917s brought into the arsenal um at least for
2919s me personally i i always love it when we
2921s we bring in new stuff and to bring in
2923s two brand new weapons uh and as on top
2926s of bringing in variants is really cool
2928s so what do you personally what are you
2930s most excited for i mean i know you did a
2931s lot of work on it and you probably enjoy
2933s all of them but what are you most
2934s excited for about with the with these
2936s editions which one
2937s are you going to be rocking mostly
2940s uh i mean i'm a fan of both the spectre
2942s and the officer so both weapons will
2944s probably be i'll use quite a bit
2947s um
2948s specifically i'll probably use penny
2949s shot um
2951s i like penny
2952s um but it's also really interesting for
2955s us to bring in um two brand new base
2958s weapons and two new legendaries for them
2960s at the same time because you don't we
2961s don't often do that so it's nice to have
2963s a legendary kind of out of the gate for
2965s a new weapon which i think is really
2967s cool yeah yeah definitely i totally
2969s agree it's really awesome but paul that
2971s i think that's really all unless you
2972s have anything else you'd like to add uh
2974s before i let you go
2975s uh no i don't think so i mean i'll be
2977s around for the q a but other than that i
2979s think um yeah yeah
2981s and yeah cool awesome and remember
2983s everyone leave your questions in the
2984s chat our community managers arie and
2986s violet are currently keeping an eye and
2987s they will try and grab as many they can
2989s we may not be able to answer everything
2991s but we will at least try our best okay
2993s so with that paul thank you very much
2996s for joining me today i will like we said
2997s we'll see you again for the q a but uh

3009s for a second so before i bring on our
3011s next and final guest
3013s um i'm actually when i so when i say
3015s final i did actually think there were
3017s going to be two other guests in my cats
3019s but for some reason they decided to be
3021s quiet during this stream so they're not
3023s here and bothering us in any way so with
3026s that we'll we'll go with uh my last
3029s guest this evening so today we're going
3031s to take a little bit of a dive into this
3033s story behind traders moon um we've had
3036s some of the narrative time
3037s narrative team on the stream before
3040s but today we're going to have a
3042s completely new um
3045s person to the stream and that is bree
3047s williams our narrative designer the
3049s person who is writing most of the
3052s content behind traitors moon and mr
3055s sherry brie welcome great to have you on
3057s the stream thanks for joining us today
3059s yeah thank you great to be here and
3061s howdy chad good to see you all
3064s so
3066s i mean yeah let's let's kind of get just
3067s get to it really to be honest with you
3069s so tell us a little bit about yourself
3070s brie um you know what
3073s where where where are you from how did
3075s you get it to crytek how long you've
3076s been here you know
3079s lay it out for us
3081s so i have been
3083s in crytek since july of last year i am
3086s originally from the states and i have
3088s moved to germany to be closer to the
3090s team and to be able to not have to have
3092s weird
3094s sleep hours because that was a mess
3096s before
3096s um i originally
3099s did
3100s film work and then i saw the 2013
3103s trailer for kingdom hearts 3
3104s cried to my mom about it obviously and
3107s then decided that i wanted to work in
3109s games and a lot of stumbling and falling
3112s and somehow i'm here
3113s awesome awesome well it's great to have
3115s you with us and i have to say
3118s we can't we're not going to give too
3119s much away about the story obviously
3120s today but i do have to say i have read
3122s what you have written for this and
3125s wow just
3127s absolutely mind blown and i have to as
3129s well comment also really really cool
3131s about kingdom hearts and having that
3132s reaction and that being your lead-in you
3135s know i mean me personally i've always
3137s been a huge fan of um kingdom hearts so
3140s to hear that it's like oh yeah that's
3142s awesome so and super super wholesome as
3145s well so thank you for sharing that and
3147s yeah i mean
3148s we're going to do a bit different we
3149s have no presentation for this part we're
3151s just gonna have a bit of a chat because
3153s to be honest with you you know we we do
3155s a lot with the story and the lore and
3157s hunt but
3158s i don't think we've ever really gone
3160s into this much detail
3162s so i thought it was appropriate that for
3164s this stream we kind of take a little bit
3165s to have a chat with one of the people
3169s behind
3170s uh the event now i know we have we have
3172s a bunch of guys
3173s a bunch of people uh awesome talented
3176s people on our narrative design team um
3178s but as you have been doing a lot of this
3180s stuff and helping us as well on the
3182s community team with some of our uh plans
3184s for the social media and everything like
3186s that um i thought i'd invite you on and
3188s we just have a little chat
3190s talk and tease people about uh what's
3192s coming up uh in uh the traitors moon
3195s event so bear with me one second here
3198s now
3198s so um
3201s i think one of the first things we
3203s should probably get to and it's
3204s something that that's been asked in the
3205s chat since the the moment
3207s it started since the moment it was
3209s introduced to the game
3211s who the hell is mr sherry like
3215s where did this guy just come from like
3216s he's all of a sudden he's this
3219s dude that's here and he's everywhere but
3222s we don't know what's going on so where
3224s where's where's cherry come from what
3226s what's the deal with him
3228s so i
3229s am not allowed to say too much about
3231s where he comes from but from a kind of
3235s peek behind the curtain perspective
3238s for the winter solstice event we wanted
3240s to bring in someone who would
3243s share the original contracts and
3247s i was kind of trying to figure out who
3249s this person would be and he actually
3251s started out as a very different person
3253s uh the definition of the word sherry
3256s actually means someone who's reluctant
3257s to do something so he was kind of gonna
3259s be this like weird skittish guy who was
3262s just
3262s kind of trying to do his job but as we
3265s move forward and
3267s we wanted to
3269s kind of develop his character more i was
3271s like what if what if he had a little bit
3274s more
3275s more of an appeal so i i wanted to make
3277s him this kind of mysterious rich
3279s benefactor who
3281s ended up turning out to be the
3283s administrator for the american hunters
3285s association
3286s so he will you know give you the
3288s contracts he obviously gives you dark
3290s tribute which is that really
3293s something for the american hunters
3294s association or not not sure
3297s but he'll he'll usually do all the
3299s clerical and paper tasks
3302s okay so more more like administrator
3304s rather than kind of getting down and
3306s dirty with the rest of the hunters and
3308s you know getting his hands dirty with
3310s with the the grunts and the hives and
3312s everything like that okay so i mean he
3314s like
3316s he's older he's become like quite
3317s significant and i think that this event
3319s he probably even becomes a little bit
3321s more
3322s um significant to the aha so i mean do
3326s you want to kind of i don't maybe you
3327s can't give us too much because obviously
3328s we don't want to spoil the story for you
3330s guys we don't want to tell you
3331s everything that's going to happen
3332s but it's just one thing we do know with
3335s the with the side of the community that
3336s really loves digging into our lore
3337s they're always asking who's mr sherry
3339s who's this who's that what's going to
3341s happen here who's so
3343s we thought maybe give you guys a little
3344s bit of a treat you know so
3347s yeah what's
3348s what's his significance at the moment
3351s well
3353s [Music]
3356s well we'll probably get into it a little
3357s bit more but
3359s he is someone
3361s who knows what's happening in the bayou
3363s and wants to make a change
3366s so he is here to
3368s help the aha help hunters in any way he
3371s can and you know like dark tribute he's
3374s doing some experiments to figure some
3376s things out
3377s right okay
3380s all right well look we'll we'll talk a
3381s bit more about that in a little bit
3383s anyway um i think
3385s if we go back through the lore there's
3387s been a couple of um other than mr sherry
3389s there's been two other mentions of
3392s things and i mean obviously this event
3394s being traitors moon
3395s and i believe we had a mention of the
3397s moon as well in uh our previous event
3399s around uh uh the holidays um so the moon
3402s is something that's that that's it seems
3404s to be a bit of a imagery that we're
3406s sticking with uh going here and on top
3408s of that as well we've also mentioned the
3410s sculptor once or twice i think going
3412s back as far as the harvest at halloween
3415s um
3416s so like what's what's the deal with with
3418s these two what's uh like the sculptor
3420s can can you give us much about the
3422s sculpture
3423s the sculptor i keep pronouncing it wrong
3424s sorry yeah can you give us much about
3426s him or her or whatever it may be
3430s yeah
3431s uh so uh as i read the lord dis chord
3435s for our channel uh a lot of people have
3437s gotten this right that the sculptor is
3439s the main reason for the corruption
3441s that's happening in the bayou he's the
3442s reason
3443s that
3444s the grunts are there meatheads etc
3447s and basically plaguing everything that's
3449s happening
3450s so
3451s he he's a force to reckon with but one
3454s that we haven't seen yet and right again
3456s that's all i can say yeah yeah no that's
3458s fine that's fine i mean look it's still
3460s that's probably more than i think we've
3462s said about the sculptor at any point so
3464s um no it's really cool um and what about
3467s the moon so like i mean like the moon
3469s itself is kind of i mean it it flows
3471s throughout lore and history everywhere
3473s really to be honest with you so i mean
3475s what what significance is it having in
3478s hunt at this point
3480s yeah you can probably guess that like
3481s narrative design team
3483s definitely has a thing for
3485s witchcraft and paganism and just
3488s learning about all that stuff and
3490s through our research we
3491s ended up seeing a lot of motifs of the
3494s moon
3495s a lot of rituals or revolving around the
3498s moon are for giving people power or for
3501s cleansing things and ridding things of
3503s evil spirits so
3505s kind of now for this event where
3508s we're doing a sculpture versus moon
3510s thing where
3511s the sculptor has almost
3514s reflected back on the moon and reflected
3516s back on its power
3518s uh so it's kind of twisting that
3521s in order to
3523s do again something that i can't exactly
3526s explain right now yeah of course
3528s uh yeah so essentially when people try
3532s and use that power again to either make
3534s themselves more powerful or cleanse
3536s themselves it's having the opposite
3539s effect and twisting everything and
3541s turning everything to dust
3544s interesting interesting and and so i
3546s mean in that like so what what events
3548s the events in the bayou were clearly
3550s having enough impact as well
3552s i'm assuming on the moon based on all of
3554s this so i mean can you how much detail
3556s are you able to give on this i mean i'm
3558s sure that i'd say i'm sure i am sure the
3561s the story that you'll unlock um through
3563s the event does give a lot more detail on
3565s this but i mean can if you can touch on
3567s it a bit like how are the events in the
3569s bayou actually
3570s affecting the moon and to the person in
3572s the chat that said nuke the moon no why
3574s would you do such a thing
3575s um
3577s so yeah
3578s no please do not nuke the moon uh if if
3582s you ever see an option in game that says
3583s nuke moon please we we ask you don't do
3586s it um but
3588s yeah so a big thing is that it will
3591s the moon will affect how people act and
3593s behave
3594s and it will
3596s definitely be something that intrigues
3598s mr sherry himself uh and seeing as he's
3601s already started with some rituals that a
3604s few of you have probably already
3606s participated in uh he's he's gonna
3608s continue his experiments and his work
3610s around paganism so you should be sure to
3613s watch out for it yeah and like we said
3615s the story uh the 15 chapters is i think
3618s there's one for every
3619s uh rank that you unlock or every uh uh
3622s bracket that you come to in the event
3623s points list um so you know make sure
3626s that you actually read through this
3627s guy's like seriously it is absolutely uh
3630s enthralling uh and i i was i a moment i
3633s i opened it i had to stop reading it
3635s about halfway through at first um just
3637s because i was too busy um but i was like
3639s i can't i must i have to go back i need
3641s to what's going on what's happening with
3643s this what happened to this guy you know
3645s just like this there's really a lot
3647s going on so uh like i said it's like the
3649s deepest dive i think we've ever done
3650s into kind of ever any story and lore and
3653s i mean by by reading it it looks like
3656s and and i obviously i got to see like
3658s how you guys were interacting a little
3660s bit with in that kind of comments and
3661s the documents and everything like that
3663s and to see how excited you were all
3665s getting about this i mean so like what's
3667s it like with the team and kind of coming
3669s up with the ideas like this i mean
3671s what's what gives you inspiration uh
3673s like gives you and the other guys
3674s inspiration to
3675s to come up with the stories that you
3677s have come up with so far i mean we've
3679s got like the the halloween story i
3680s believe you were involved in that the
3682s christmas story um and possibly some
3685s others and i'm sorry if i'm not
3686s mentioning them all correctly but and
3688s and traders moon as well obviously so
3690s tell us a little bit about the creative
3692s process with you guys like how do you
3693s come up with this stuff where's your
3694s where's your inspiration
3697s so uh a big running joke in the office
3700s is that uh
3703s more often than not on our floor people
3705s can hear maniacal laughter uh echoing
3707s through the hallway
3709s uh so we can vouch for that i'm on the
3711s same floor as you when i'm over in the
3712s office so definitely can vouch for that
3714s the maniacal laughing is
3716s on point i have to say
3718s yes thank you uh but yeah so we usually
3721s like
3722s well we'll kind of like give each other
3724s a look and be like
3725s what if x was y and we kind of tumble in
3728s through there because we are all kind of
3731s huge nerds which kind of comes with the
3732s territory and we've have lots of obscure
3736s research that we've done
3737s uh literally when i entered this company
3740s they immediately taught me about the
3741s kentucky meat shower which if you're
3743s watching i welcome you to google it it's
3745s great um
3747s but we we all come with our own areas of
3750s expertise and our own
3752s histories of things that we're
3753s interested in so
3755s we'll take those we'll kind of build off
3757s of each other and then
3759s we'll kind of get a concrete outline and
3761s idea and then go back to our
3764s our respective areas write things down
3766s and then share with each other so that
3768s we can
3769s build everything up we really enjoy
3771s collaborating with each other i
3773s not to brag think i am like part of the
3775s best team uh in the company no offense
3778s to anyone else i mean i don't know about
3779s that the community team is pretty damn
3781s awesome so you know but hey look you
3783s know we could each have our favorites
3785s it's totally fine
3786s maybe there's a bicycle we'll have to
3788s have like a
3789s team versus team like brawl match to see
3792s who comes out on top but you know sounds
3794s good narrative versus cm's you know yeah
3797s and as ari one of our community says uh
3799s manager says community team rise up
3801s so yeah we're coming after you narrative
3803s i'm yeah no word out of course but
3806s but yeah so that that's really really
3808s cool i mean it's it's really good to get
3809s a kind of a bit of an insight now i mean
3811s i know we can't kind of go into the all
3812s the ins and outs because we'll start
3814s start giving away too much of the story
3816s of not not just of traders moon but of
3819s you know a bunch of things as well um so
3822s let's kind of like let's take a bit of a
3824s step forward into kind of the plans the
3826s plans because like we we've hinted mr
3828s sherry he's not going anywhere uh he's
3831s he's he's got some things that he's
3833s doing like yeah i think i believe you
3834s mentioned experiments and stuff a little
3835s while ago
3836s so you know
3838s it seems that he's going to be a little
3840s bit more of a thing going forward in
3842s terms of story-wise at least anyway and
3845s not just the dude who gives us contracts
3847s you know so i mean i'm i'm i'm almost
3850s certain you're not going to be able to
3852s give too much away but what's
3854s can you give us any hints about what's
3856s going to come in with with sherry is he
3858s going to be significant is this just a a
3860s once off and we never talk about him
3861s again
3862s you know what what way is it going to
3864s work this way
3866s so uh
3868s as a lot of people already know we
3870s tend to have a lot of stories within our
3873s lore we feel that
3875s all of louisiana and especially new
3877s orleans is big and there are lots of
3878s moving parts so we tend to try and tell
3881s stories and then drop them but one of
3884s the things that we really wanted to do
3885s this year and especially with events
3887s because
3888s the team has been so
3890s open to it is that we want to tell
3893s a whole story in a year so
3896s you're gonna have to deal with mr cherry
3898s not just with the features that include
3901s him but also for the events as well so i
3903s really hope you're ready to
3905s to see all the mischief that he's ready
3907s to cause even though he's just trying to
3909s do his best
3910s well i mean me personally i am excited
3912s i'm very very excited to see what what
3914s comes with it i think it's great that
3916s we've been elaborating on on this like i
3918s mean i've been kind of ever since i saw
3920s the story i've been singing narratives
3921s praises about it and i will continue to
3923s do so because i just think it's it's so
3925s well written uh and i mean the narrative
3928s team you guys you kind of outdo
3929s yourselves pretty much every time you
3931s write something new so you know at least
3934s from from me thank you very much for the
3936s awesome awesome lore and stories that
3938s you give us you and your team give us um
3941s and i'm sure that many in the community
3942s feel the same um so thank you very much
3945s for having a bit of a chat like you know
3947s we're we're not gonna we're not gonna go
3949s through much more than that because then
3950s we're just giving away the whole story
3952s and we want you to play it so you read
3954s it yourself
3955s yeah so i hope you're fun yeah i mean
3957s i'd look i'm very much looking forward
3959s to it and i'm sure a lot of people are
3961s as well so make sure you guys you let us
3962s know exactly how you're feeling about
3964s the story and also as well we're going
3966s to be doing some teases around it as
3968s well on our social media over the course
3970s of or over the duration of the event so
3972s make sure you keep an eye we've got some
3974s awesome awesome artwork that has been
3976s done for these teasers specifically um
3978s by the person who creates our traits
3981s inna as most of you uh probably are
3983s aware um so yeah
3985s i mean she's done such a fantastic job
3987s it looks absolutely beautiful so wow i
3989s was thinking about showing off some of
3990s them here but i didn't want to spoil
3992s them i wanted to wait until we used them
3994s for the teaser so should see the first
3996s one possibly over the weekend um and
3999s yeah i'd like the every quote with it is
4001s significant to the story and will tie in
4003s with some aspect as we go along so yeah

4133s moderators are gathering gathering them
4134s there um and we'll try and answer as
4137s many as we can
4138s while paul is checking that there just
4140s to talk about the um again i mentioned
4142s it at the start of the stream but in
4143s case anyone missed it um the um
4148s the console sensitivity so update 1.8
4151s went out on consoles today and there is
4153s currently a bug with the sensitivities
4155s and it is something that we are working
4156s on and we're hoping to have uh sorted as
4158s quickly as possible um keep an eye on
4161s the social channels and the discord uh
4163s for updates we will uh post them there
4167s um
4168s so yeah uh with that
4170s we have another question there um what
4172s do we have the ranks for um the the
4175s bloodline these weapons when they're in
4177s the bloodline as well for
4179s during and after the event or i suppose
4180s during the event doesn't matter but
4182s after the event
4183s are you aware off the top of your head
4184s paul
4185s uh yeah i have i have it right here in
4187s front of me just one second so the
4190s cold 1992
4192s uh
4193s just one second sorry
4195s no worries
4197s yeah it must have missed them off the
4199s slides so
4200s the 92
4202s is available
4205s um
4207s trying to find it
4216s actually yeah i can't i can't see it
4218s right now
4219s apologies but you can see it on the on
4221s the store and stuff like that you can
4223s find that one
4224s and we'll make sure as well we can add
4226s it into uh patch notes when there are uh
4228s some for it
4229s though um
4231s okay cool so uh daily caps for the event
4234s anton zenya
4236s are there any daily caps for the event
4239s no daily caps billy caps so you can go
4241s through it as quickly as you want i
4243s believe that's something we turned off a
4244s couple of events ago if i'm not mistaken
4247s i i don't believe we had a cat you're
4249s muted i believe
4250s one event ago one event ago okay fair
4252s enough so i'm not too far ago but yeah
4254s something we removed with the with the
4256s christmas event so there's no daily caps
4258s you guys can progress
4260s as fast or as slow as you want through
4261s it um and you have plenty of time uh to
4263s get through it uh as well
4266s um
4268s so
4270s so one question that keeps popping up um
4273s people keep asking about billy so
4276s look straight up yes billy will be
4279s coming back this year
4283s we still working out on exactly how
4285s but billy definitely will be coming back
4288s this year so uh we've said it in in
4291s almost every stream in almost every
4293s event stream our twitch drop stream
4295s pretty much all of them yes we are going
4296s to be bringing billy back we know
4297s everybody wants billy again um but yes
4300s rest assured he is definitely definitely
4302s coming back
4303s um
4304s so
4305s then uh next up brie uh one for you just
4309s specifically about narrative design how
4311s would one go about getting into a career
4313s of narrative design i know you mentioned
4315s briefly what you did but what would you
4317s would you have any recommendations for
4319s for people who would like to start out
4321s in narrative based things
4324s i guess the big thing would be make sure
4327s that you're writing and make sure that
4329s you're putting your work out there i
4330s know that there are a lot of narrative
4333s designers that will start entwine and
4334s make their interactive stories and put
4336s them on itch
4337s etc but you know build up your portfolio
4340s make sure that you're still
4342s watching movies and reading books and
4344s getting lots of cool
4346s water for your stories and put your work
4348s out there and apply as much as possible
4352s and would you recommend say like any any
4354s courses or anything like that people
4356s could do on the side as well that might
4357s help them or you know i mean like any
4360s experience is always good no matter what
4361s position you're going for you know um
4363s but i'm sure like with something when it
4364s comes to narrative sure there's probably
4366s a couple of courses so do you know of
4367s anything that might be worth while
4369s looking in
4372s um so
4374s there are definitely online courses that
4376s if you go to sites like udemy or if
4379s you're able to get access to say the gdc
4382s vault there are lots of those master
4385s classes that you can get into
4388s to learn but it's it's about a balance
4390s and accessibility if you don't have the
4393s means to take a course because of time
4394s or money you can still
4397s get into narrative design so don't let
4399s that limit yourself you know
4402s cool cool i just see a couple little
4404s small questions there someone like
4406s because we mentioned billy they've asked
4407s about the other ones as well
4409s and i believe my understanding is yes at
4412s some point that we should have many of
4414s the previous skins available at
4416s different times we will when it happens
4418s or excuse me when it happens we will let
4420s you know um so be sure to keep an eye
4422s out um another one i saw and has now
4425s quickly gone out of my head the event
4428s runs for three weeks so it's from the
4430s 24th of march until the 14th of april
4434s um and
4436s um
4436s [Music]
4438s i can't believe i missed that question
4439s it was like such a good one as well
4442s um
4444s nevermind have a look for some other
4446s ones um yeah we said about that
4449s just waiting for our uh if our community
4451s managers can grab any others
4455s so uh oh somebody asked about a hunter
4457s sorry actually um the the so this
4461s with this event there is a dlc that
4463s includes a hunter but there is no hunter
4464s unlocked through the event progression
4466s the event progression is all the weapons
4467s and the weapons skins so the hunter is
4469s the meridian turncoat part of the
4471s meridian
4472s sea
4476s uh the legendary choke bomb time limited
4478s purchase like other uh event skins i
4480s believe that is the case yeah
4482s yes uh it will be available while event
4485s is running for so far three weeks in the
4487s event store
4490s cool
4492s um is there any other hunter we can buy
4494s with blood bonds in the event well it's
4496s not an event specific one but i believe
4499s uh hail mary should be available in the
4501s game uh since 1.8 and she is available
4505s for
4506s uh blood bonds so
4507s not event specific but yes there is an
4509s option and she is pretty much a
4512s pretty much a badass really to be honest
4513s with you it's the only way to put it
4514s especially with the two new weapons uh
4516s that she comes with the new legendary
4518s skins that she comes with as well so um
4521s the event boost are they shared with
4524s teammates anton senia
4529s no but it's worth to mention that while
4531s contracts are not uh
4534s sorry it's about sharing i i was i was i
4536s was a bit distracted i thought it was
4538s the question about stacking
4540s um so i wanted to mention that bonuses
4542s from the hunter from the trade and from
4545s the contract that's second between each
4546s other but contracts are not stacking
4548s between each other only in regard of the
4550s duration so you can extend duration by
4552s the new contract and bonuses are not
4555s shared within the teammates and we
4557s covered this during the previous event
4559s why we made this decision so maybe worse
4561s to mention who missed that last time
4563s so before
4565s for those who remember in our previous
4566s event
4567s uh boost was presented as a consumable
4570s so that you actually need to put in your
4572s slot and was actually
4575s uh
4576s affected the your performance in the
4578s game so when you decided to pick the
4581s boost consumable instead of any other
4583s related gameplay consumable of course
4585s like it it reflected on your performance
4587s in the game and that's why it was worse
4589s to share this within the team now
4592s contract they are living completely
4593s separately from the mission and they're
4595s like living on the like profile in the
4597s menu and they do not affect in any way
4600s uh performance in the mission and that's
4602s why uh one of the reason we
4604s uh made them not share it within the
4607s team right cool i'm pretty certain we
4610s couldn't get a clearer answer than that
4612s so i hope that does clarify it for
4614s anybody that is uh interested so thank
4615s you for that senior um
4618s so yeah i mean
4621s i think like there's there's probably a
4622s lot of questions going through so what
4623s we're probably going to do is we'll go
4625s through the chat and what we'll try to
4626s do is uh maybe at some point um we'll um
4631s we'll be able to maybe put out a blog or
4633s a video or something that maybe would be
4634s able to answer some questions i do see a
4636s lot of questions coming up about the
4638s usual topics you know hit reg and d-sync
4640s and everything like that and and what's
4642s coming up for our plans in the future so
4644s make sure that you check out our um most
4646s recent uh
4648s our last devstream along with the uh
4651s blog and um
4653s uh
4655s the blog and the video uh youtube video
4657s so we did it in all three formats just
4659s to cover everyone who you know some
4661s people will watch the stream and don't
4662s want to watch videos or don't want to
4663s read so we tried to get it out there and
4666s that gives a lot of information about
4667s what's coming up for the next six months
4670s and yeah we're going to be doing a lot
4672s more of them a lot more developer deep
4673s dives a lot more developer interviews
4675s and everything like that as we go and
4677s progress through the rest of this year
4678s our goal is we're going to be trying to
4680s be as as transparent and as open as
4682s possible about our development process
4683s and that's why you know with the dev
4684s streams and everything that's that's
4686s what we try to endeavor to do all the
4688s time um before we drop out though uh the
4691s event what time does it go live
4693s time do we have a time 4 4 p.m uh
4696s central european time and rick please
4698s help me to convert it to the utp yeah
4701s that would be 3 p.m utc
4705s so 4 p.m german time central europe time
4707s 3 p.m utc tomorrow the 24th of march so
4713s be there or be square i guess i don't
4715s know i'm trying to think of something
4717s funny to say and that came out so um so
4720s uh last thing as well bree is there is
4722s there any place that people can go to
4724s kind of learn more about the hunt lore
4725s um i mean we have like the book of
4727s weapons and everything like that but uh
4730s i would think maybe our blog's probably
4732s the best place currently yeah so
4735s obviously in game book of weapons book
4737s of monsters and our blog but we have
4740s plans no plans plans oh i like that i
4743s like that
4744s that that sounds promising to me anyway
4747s so with that folks i think we shall
4749s leave it again we'll go we'll continue
4751s grabbing questions and we will probably
4753s come back again after the stream and uh
4755s try to answer as many of them as we can
4757s in some threads
4758s can i can i quickly jump there because i
4761s was a couple of questions and i really
4763s want to answer this question and there
4764s was a
4765s couple of people asking when we are
4767s going to be transparent about
4769s monetization because we we promised this
4771s actually yes but believe me or not
4775s we want wanted but
4776s we there was like very unfortunate
4778s circumstances like call it where like
4780s half of the team was sick
4782s and we basically like weren't able to
4784s prepare proper communication like in
4786s right and we want to actually do like
4788s we're still thinking on the format
4789s either it will be like token interview
4791s or maybe some stream or and also we need
4794s to put it in writing yeah we we keep it
4796s in mind we uh do not deny our promises
4800s we still want to be transparent we still
4802s want to explain but that's uh simply a
4805s simple reason that like we're living in
4807s quite a unstable times right now and the
4810s reason was simple that yes there was
4812s covet and half of the team was sick and
4815s we didn't have time to prepare this but
4817s that's definitely what we are working on
4819s and we are going to share as soon as
4822s possible yes definitely yes you're right
4824s thank you for reminding me although i
4826s should have remembered this seeing as
4827s though i'm the one that's writing the
4828s bloody thing um so yeah that you are
4832s right on the mark there yes we we have
4833s not forgotten that is something we are
4835s working on and like zenya said we're
4837s going to probably do videos or blogs or
