Trick or treat? Why not both?
With Halloween just around the corner, instead of candy, we've prepared a massive update for our players with two new characters, weapons, items, and many other improvements.
At the same time, the Scavengers decorated their base taking care of the right mood, and there are rumors that bats have invaded here and there.
You'll see it all for yourself in a moment so that we won't extend it any further, and let's move on to the content of Halloween Update 1.9.666.
:pumpkin_s: New Content:
Have you ever wondered who will join our team? Thanks to Halloween, we found out which new heroes have visited the Scavengers. Please, welcome to Echo and Professor!
Professor - The most experienced Scavenger. Uses knowledge and technology to fight evil. Can fly in the air for short durations and has a Utility Drone that accompanies him on his quest.
Echo - Very agile and smart Scavenger. She can hack enemies to fight on her side. She can throw a teleporter, which lets her move over huge distances quickly.
The new scavengers took a lot of scrap with them, but they also have interesting gifts. You will find new weapons and super items in them. What they look like:
:alienshooterplasmagun:4 new weapons (Octogun, Inferno Launcher, Stick Bomb Launcher, Messmaker)
:SecretPresent: 5 new items (Utility Drone, Hacking Device, Magnet, Gas Mask, Sonic Boots)
