Recoverable stuff + pixelation

Hey, everyone!

I've been reading some reviews lately and more than one player was pointing to how harsh is the loot recovered from the dead volunteer after you die.

So, today's update brings some changes to the amount/type of items you'll find while looting the dead body. Specifically:

EASY

  • higher probability to recover weapons/gadgets/consumables/ammo (20% more each)
  • can recover more than one ranged weapon/gadget
  • higher amount of cash recovered (30-35% more)
  • can recover up to 10 upgraded stats (was 3)


MEDIUM

  • higher probability to recover weapons/gadgets/consumables/ammo (10% more each)
  • can recover more than one ranged weapon/gadget
  • higher amount of cash recovered (10-20% more)
  • can recover up to 6 upgraded stats (was 3)


HARD

  • higher probability to recover stuweapons/gadgets/consumables/ammoff (5% more each)
  • higher amount of cash recovered (10% more)
  • can recover up to 4 upgraded stats (was 3)


NIGHTMARE AND MORE
No changes

Another important update is the new option (long due, i know) to completely disable the pixelation in-game.

I like the game very pixelated, but i understand that not everyone might like it that way :)
