Forest Service
While the forest has always been about platforming to the treetops, the terrain was a bit too flat. This update adds a lot more terrain variation and cover, improving combat in this area.
Now the bridges, tunnels, and cliffs give us more room to hide secrets and hacker stashes before launch.
Black Ice, Inc. Vault
Black Ice, Inc. added a vault to the forest. It's sealed for now but who knows what treasures are locked inside.
In addition to adding more places to jump during some Quarkus fights, this tree fort would be a fun place for some PVP.
