Feature Updates
New Scenario: Pottsville #2
[p align="start"]Resupply brings a whole new alternative scenario for Pottsville, one that sees Responders dropped all together directly into action on the Downtown rooftops. Tasked with aligning antennas to gain further access to the map, bodies must be found and burned to prevent additional NPV-26 outbreaks as they reach the outskirts to extract. This reverse run allows players to experience this map’s familiar surroundings in a whole new way!
