A new free update for Guardians Frontline (Update 6) is now officially live on Meta Quest and Steam!
New stuff
- The Queen: The Federation has found a new enemy on a remote planet, known as 'the Queen' because of her big size. This enemy has weak points that should be targeted for a quick death (head and tail), attacking other areas will take considerably longer
- Bug’s Nydus Tunnels: The enemy has now built its own portals! They can navigate using these portals, from an entrance to an exit. These entrances and exits can be destroyed with explosives, but they regenerate. To permanently destroy the tunnel, you must destroy both the entrance and exit.
- Support The Game: A new control panel in the spaceship allows you to support the developers by purchasing a package of interesting items (research point, minerals, and exclusive avatars). While this is completely optional, the developers will be very grateful for any support, as it helps sustain the game's development
- 18 New Weapon Skins!
- Black Energy Sword Skin
- Conquer Mode Time Limit: Map makers can now set a time limit for their Conquer maps. If the Guardians fail to win before this time runs out, they lose the game.
- Squad only maps. Map makers can now configure the missions to be Squad mode only.
- Medic Gun research. On the research panel, there's a new upgrade to the Medic Gun to double its capacity.
- New PvP Accolades. Additional achievements have been added for PvP to help push this game mode (Win 5 PvP games, Kill 10 players in PvP, Win a supremacy game, Win a deathmatch game, Win a team Deathmatch game, Win a Destroy the Gate game).
- New Squad Mode Accolade: Win a Squad mode game.
Improvements
- Two new volume selectors have been added to the settings menu: Weapon's volume and Voice Chat Volume.
- Friend lists are now stored on our servers to make sure they aren’t lost anymore when reinstalling the game or the progress from another account.
- The Arack and the Queen are now available in Hangar to practice in the spaceship hangar.
- Revive from player list: You can now revive other players directly from the player list menu, and when reviving the players, they will respawn at a player spawn point.
- Added an option to reset the local progress on steam.
Fixes
- Fixed being able to exchange magazines from other weapons endlessly increasing the bullet count.
- Falling off the map in squad mode now will just respawn the player without killing them.
- Teleport would stop working sometimes due to the angle between the player and the landing spot.
- Fixed being able to get into some places with teleport locomotion
- Fixed a rare issue where the galaxy conquest was shown as completed, causing the player to lose all their influence points in that galaxy.
- Fixed an issue where the game occasionally failed to give the avatar at the end of the galaxy conquest if the player hadn't opened the galaxy tab and pressed Start.
- Fixed pressing joystick while having a mission selected would make the game fail to load that map correctly
- Fixed the Arack behaving incorrectly when dying while burrowing.
- Fixed Arack sounds not being affected by the volume controls.
- Fixed some cases where editor asset groups would not count towards the total asset number.
Editor
- Standalone Enemy Spawner Volume: You can now add a volume that spawns the configured enemies when a player enters the volume.
- Wave Tags: In Conquer games you can now tag any wave as defensive wave so any player attacking a nest will trigger this wave instead of the standard 2 Arthos defensive wave.
- Added 10 new skyboxes in the map editor (they will be replaced with the winners on Discord)
That's it for now, fellow Guardians!! As always we hope you like this new update and please let us know what you think about the new features.
Time to kill some bugs!
Cheers!
