[2020] Supply Drop #1 Patch Notes

: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page [url=https://steamcommunity.com/ogg/1024380/announcements/detail/2910976689286931913]here[/url].

3...2...1...The first Supply Drop has landed!
Besides the addition of new contracts and difficulty settings that we’ve already shared with you on the roadmap(link), we have fixed multiple issues and crashes with this update.

The Grenade Launcher’s projectiles now collide with enemies, multiple menu and graphics issues are fixed, and you will now receive loot even if you have died during a mission. But you can no longer throw infinite airstrikes or send the Rex flying. You win some, you lose some.

With Difficulty Settings making an entrance into the game, it is more important than ever that you take on the challenge as a team to get the full experience and not constantly have to bite the dust.

For the solo players out there, we hear you, and we are looking into making the game more enjoyable solo, like with the Expedition Mode arriving not-too-far into the future (it’s coming in December with Pre-Season 2). But until then, team up and share your skills with the rest of the community to beat the challenge and receive new nameplates that grant instant bragging rights.

Good luck completing the new contracts and overcoming the Insane difficulty mode. The ERA believes in you.
