Season 7: Mercenaries
The fantastic development team behind Vigor always want to know what you guys like. And when they asked what players would like to see in Vigor last time, the majority of them mentioned that you yearn for more military cosmetics. So the Vigor team have done there very best to deliver more of those. The team are very excited to introduce you to Mercenaries!
These Outlanders used to battle for money. Now they’ve come together to carry on with their domination as a unit of highly skilled professionals. Their signature gear is balaclavas, military gas masks, emblems on their caps, and camo face paint. They’re also bringing new additions to your armory, including the La Chiave 12 shotgun and M60E3 machine gun. Like every season, you can equip yourself with glossy new titles and boast about your skills in the lobbies.
“Operation Health”!
As you breeze through this post you’ll probably notice that there aren’t as many new features as usual. That’s again mainly thanks to you! The Vigor team decided to take action and address a few pressing issues that some of you have brought to there attention.
The biggest issue revolved around a lack of memory. So the ladies and gents in the team worked dutifully on boosting memory optimization, which we expect will improve upon the various crashes and disconnections you might have experienced.
The next challenge the team faced were maps like Fiske Fabrikk. Knowing the fans missed Fiske, it was hard to take it down, but they had to for a short time so they could make some improvements to it. Well, we’re delighted to announce that the mission was successful, and that Fiske Fabrikk is back in rotation!
The small delay was also caused by a longer period of testing. The Vigor team wanted to ensure they gave you the quality you deserve. While there a passionate group of developers, they are also a relatively small team, which is why some actions may take longer than what you’ve come to expect from bigger studios. So a huge thank you to all of you for your undying patience!
Any News?
Alright, but what is the news, you ask? Well, the coders thought it would be exciting to spice up the Encounters a bit. Therefore, they’re introducing openable exits. That means that some of the exits now need to be opened before you can leave the Encounter. And you can also lock some exits behind you so other Outlanders can’t exit that fast. This new detail changes exit strategies a bit and we can’t wait to hear your feedback!
The Vigor team have also given Shootout a bit of love. The team altered the selection of guns in the crates in Shootout. While it might seem like a small change, we think it will be a nice touch. Another weapon-related thing is that you can now equip the weapon you selected with ammo in the Shelter. Cool, right?
Last, but not least, there’s a new threat coming in with the Mercenaries. They don’t want to see any Outlander camping in a bush during the entire game. That means anyone staying in one spot for too long will risk being bombarded by a mortar strike.
