The year is almost over and I think we’re all ready to put this one behind us. The trials and tribulations of 2020 aside, I’m excited that I was able to share Kill It With Fire with the world this year - and I hope you were excited to play it! If you haven't picked it up yet, now is a great time - the game is 40% off!
As you know, the holiday season is upon us and a big Holiday Update has come to Kill It With Fire! Even if you’ve been bad (nuke any towns lately?) you’re getting NINE gifts this year. But it ain’t gonna be as simple as ripping off the wrapping paper. Each mission now features a Christmas tree, but there’s one problem...no ornaments! To receive each gift, you’ll need to hunt down the decorations and place them on the tree.
Before we talk about what Santa brought you, allow me to provide a few holiday tips and tricks. First, the Secret Sniffer upgrade for the Spider Tracker DOES work on ornaments. Second, to avoid extra trips back to the tree you can suck up ornaments using the vacuum, then spit them back out later. Finally, if you’re having trouble finding an ornament don’t despair...try looking up!
*** SPOILERS AHEAD ***
*** SERIOUSLY, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED ***
*** TURN BACK NOW, IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE ***
Now, let’s get down to the real Holiday business: GIFTS. There’s nine in total and it doesn’t matter in what order you decorate the trees, you’ll always earn the gifts in the same order. There’s two new pieces of equipment, three new upgrades, a new tracker upgrade, a new flavor, and two sets of bonus upgrade points (one regular and one for the tracker). Let’s get into the details:
- Laser Sword: An elegant weapon for more civilized spider hunters. Burns on impact.
- Spider Noir: Lets you play in black and white
- Lucky Dice: They don’t do anything, but they look cool!
- Low Gravity: Reduces gravity for you, the spiders, and all physics objects!
- Radioactive Wasabi: Cheese Puff flavor that can transform spiders into Radioactive Spiders.
- Laser Gun: Fires projectiles that ricochet several times, potentially igniting whatever they hit.
- Gene Splicer: Randomizes which spiders appear in the mission, meaning potentially any spider can appear in any mission.
That wraps it up! Have fun finding the ornaments and playing with the new toys. If you have trouble finding them, I recommend hitting the Kill It With Fire Discord. And, as always be sure to follow the game on Twitter or Facebook.Good luck and happy holidays!!!
