Version 1.7

A Rising Threat:
The nefarious Aro Sei, a devoted servant of Alec Masters before the fall of Hoover Dam, has called her minions to action throughout the Grand Canyon Province. Resistance fighters are gathering near Old Kingman in Sector One, east of Blaine in Sector Two, southeast of Gaia in Sector Three, and in the far southwest of Deadfall. They need your help to investigate and thwart the schemes of those who seek to dominate the Province.

The new content features more than 50 missions, including challenging team-focused fights and repeatable crafting missions, in four newly-added encounter areas.

Talk to special NPCs in major barter towns throughout the Grand Canyon Province for starting missions that will take you directly to the new areas, or just trek to them using your in-game map for a reference.

Veteran Awards:
Keep your Fallen Earth subscription current and you'll now earn Veteran Reward Points that accrue on your account. Spend the points at special vendors in barter towns of the Grand Canyon Province to get nifty gear-from colorful goggles to a Scavenger's Dune Buggy (complete with the old speed limit sign on the hood) to a combat-battered LifeNet shirt and pants. We'll be adding items to these vendors as time goes on, so keep checking back!

Customizable Social Clothing:
Color customization was introduced with the ability to personalize your vehicles. In the second phase of color customization, you can make your character stand out even more with colored clothes! Just right click on the item while you've got a Paint Kit in your pack and select the dye option to bring up the preview window. Enjoy exploring the dye options for shirts, hats, pants, and more!
