Hey everyone!
We want to bring some more improvements at a faster pace, so here they are;

Overhauled Weapon Variants


Weapon variants got an iteration and many have been improved, reworked or otherwise.
They should overall feel noticeably better and gives finding weapons a fresh new touch.
You can also now see a short description on pickup for better usability.

- Overhauled SAT Police Forces variants
- Overhauled Machine Military Forces variants
- Overhauled Human Raiders variants
- Overhauled Human Defiance variants
- Overhauled Soviet Brotherhood variants
- Improved Redguard variants (more to come)

Overhauled Tutorial / Firing Range


The tutorial got many fixes and improvements.
We removed the obstacle course and added new things for testing and playing with the game mechanics. You can also call in enemy waves to test weapons and items, as well as go outdoors to test on respawning dummies. Overall the firing range should be much more interesting to test out mechanics and interactions, and offer a much better playground for learning and modding.

- Improved firing range
- Improved combat area
- Shops for testing
- Advanced combat area with attack waves
- Beach for chilling & high health dummies for testing
