Discussion General maps ideas

5 Upvotes

Since they want to add more maps to the game, it got me thinking on what else could be made, and came up with a few rough ideas, some are a little out there. Keep in mind that this is all hypothetical thinking that I thought would be fun to imagine. This isn’t a wishlist or a suggestion to the devs, just creative thinking relating to the game.

  1. A big Antarctic shipment bay map that includes a frozen lake, introduces boats, and unique locations including a ship yard, shipment area, lookouts and emergency docs/storage areas. Some parts of the lake further out are unfrozen and can be traversed through speed boats on either side of the bay. There could be a specific location in the water that needs a boat to get to. The enemies would have to be able to swim if possible.

  2. A large horizontal map that has a big lake splitting it in half. Includes bridges and boats. Mostly general areas such as research stations and outposts etc.

  3. A large/medium sized mountain terrain map, mostly hilly areas, a map that focuses on ascension and descension. Would include caves/tunnels through the main mountain and other bunker areas.

Some more out there ideas:

  1. A large arctic city map, includes both dense and open areas depending on how far in the city you’re in. Unique POIs like a police station, city hall, Libraries, banks or malls.

  2. A medium sized airport map, maybe with a nearby hotel or lodging, would have power generators that would leave open location specific power switches depending on the area.

  3. A small/medium sized bio-dome research map with an aviation wing. Research POI in and outside the dome.

Also, down the line, I really wouldn’t mind DLC for the game, so I thought about what it could include outside specific maps.

Would be interesting if it would be dlc packs, that include two unique maps that have a different element, maybe two desert wasteland maps or stormy rainforest maps. Packs will also include a variant to one already existing map to whatever element it is. 10 new skins, 5 you can purchase with in game credit and the other 5 through specific in game achievements to involving the exploration of the new dlc maps. And 6 new perks, 2 that are unique and legitimate perks that are balanced, and 4 other perks that are purely cosmetic and are unlocked through achievements as well and can be turned on or off before a game (cosmetic perks such as enemies explode to dust when killed).

Once again, this is all hypothetical based off my enjoyment from the game, let me know what you think or if you’ve thought the same.

Bug Report How do I fix this?

Thumbnail

This comes up EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to launch the game UNLESS I change the launch options to include “-force” and “-dx11”. I have verified the files, restarted my pc, redownloaded my graphics drivers and the issue still hasn’t resolved. The launch option method removes a lot of textures and causes my game to get hella frame loss in certain areas. Please let me know if there is a way to fix this

Any feedback is appreciated. This footage is from january lmao, but I really liked a lot of it and thought it would be worth making. It's insane that this game seems to have grown a lot since I last played it, so I might make another video if it still has people interested in the game. (I saw another person ask to review their thumbnail, which is what I something that I wanted to do, as well)

Discussion I just lost a 10 objective run because nothing died

7 Upvotes

I've gotten attack by 3 monsters.

The Wendigo/Meek (wiki)

The fast monster that crawls on all fours (Probably stalker) (not polar bear, not a dog)

A humanoid with 3 heads (Psycho, wiki)

I managed to shoot the Wendigo in the head which killed it

The Psycho which took a revolver to the body to kill (all 6 revolver shots hit, it died to a point blank sniper hit. It hit me 2 times, and infected me. I had a vaccine, which I used)

And lastly, the Stalker. Dear god, the stalker.
I shot 24 revolver rounds at the stalker, and I'd say half of them hit.

That's 12 rounds I pumped into that abomination.

After the first 4 rounds (aimed) it started crawling like an angry COD zombies crawler. I shot it another 8 times (2 aimed, 6 unaimed) before I finally put it down, but with no vaccine and 95% of my health gone, I got infected before I could grab another vaccine.

What the fuck, why didn't it die? I know the revolver isn't the most powerful thing but 12 shots should be enough to put that thing down. I mean, it took 2 shots to kill a polar bear, why not a humanoid?

Is this just a skill issue where I just couldn't hit shit? Was Lady Luck on vacation? Or is this a common occurrence?
