Greetings Adventurers,

With this PTR release, we’re introducing the next weapon to be brought to the shores of Aeternum!

The Blunderbuss

The Blunderbuss is a ranged weapon that offers high mobility coupled with potent close-to-mid range DPS. It’s the first weapon to scale on Strength and Intelligence, making it a good companion for bruiser or mage builds. The Containment tree is all about closing the gap and unloading hot lead into your enemy’s face. Conversely, the Chaos tree focuses on keeping your distance and bombarding areas with explosive AoE damage.

Greetings Adventurers,

With this PTR release, we’ve introduced a new, highly requested feature: inventory inspection while moving! In addition, in order to accommodate the complex logic of what should or shouldn’t be locked out of combat, we’ve build a secondary system to take-over and manage the out-of-combat/in-combat player states.

You can now move while using your inventory! Whether you’re using directional inputs or auto-run, opening your inventory will no lon...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. We’re continuing to look for ways to improve the Outpost Rush experience, and playing the objective properly is a big part of that game mode that we agree should properly count towards the player’s score. Keep an eye out for this in a future update.

Thank you for the information! I’ve forwarded it over to the development team for investigation.
