Hey, Crewmates! We hope you're still enjoying conquering the Wasteland - thank you so much for the support so far! We're dropping by with a slightly larger patch this time. Let us help you get settled in as we explain the newly implemented Quality of Life improvements, driving options and difficulty settings.
PATCH NOTES
Added options to turn off the driver’s ability to automatically avoid obstacles and follow roads. This was following feedback from players that the driver's AI would sometimes behave in an undesirable way around certain environmental objects. With these options, players can now switch to more manual control over the Battle Wagon’s movement.
Added a QoL improvement to the Crew Facility Upgrades. Previously the upgrades would simply increase the maximum level that recruitable crew members would appear at in the Citadel. The skill points of those recruited members until that point would already be pre-assigned meaning that players would have a hard time acquiring recruits who they wanted to specialize in certain skills (especially towards the end-game). Now when you upgrade the crew facilities – any skill points the crew member would have acquired up until that point will be available to assign to any skill the player wishes (rather than already being distributed). We hope with this change this gives players more freedom to customise their perfect crew!
Additional text prompts to aid with controller support. This was following feedback where players were struggling to use a controller in certain parts of the game. We’ve now added additional prompts so it’s clearer for players.
Added 2 new difficulty options: ‘Hard’ and Hardest'. As requested by many players - we’ve now added harder difficulty modes! (You can change this whenever you return to the Citadel.)
Blueprints are now more readily available in end-game missions if they were missed earlier on in the campaign.
Thanks again for taking the time to play Badlands Crew and make sure to let us know how you get on with the new patch over on Discord. Curve Games & Runner Duck.
