Greetings Respondrs!

For this month’s update, we’re focusing on your feedback and ideas to update the Embr app and your tools, the essentials for you to make more money. Going forward, we’ll also be focusing on squashing bugs, so keep the feedback and bug reports coming!



Super Premium Tool Upgrades

• Jetpack Hose (Hose)

[/b]

• $9,000 D 8
  
• Years after this hydro jetpack prototype failed to pass all safety tests during US military trials, Embr corporation purchased the manufacturing rights to augment their fire safety personnel’s mission capabilities, although it takes additional water to use.

Quantum Sprinkler (Sprinkler)

[/b]

• $12,000 G 10 D 7
  
• Previously thought to exist only at extremely small scales, our researchers were able to use quantum tunneling to allow water to spread through walls and at increased distances!

Handheld Jet Propulsion (Axe)

[/b]

• $20,000 G 15 D 10
  
• Originally an experiment in using rocket miniaturization technology to add more force to an axe swing, attaching the rockets to the other end of the axe allowed our Respondrs to fly at high speeds during their swings!

Hypercharged Client Magnet (Trampoline)

[/b]

• $10,000 G 10 D 7
  
• Experimental electromagnetic charges embedded in the trampoline can selectively pull clients in a cone above the trampoline directly to safety!

Skeletal Reanimation (Healing Needle)

[/b]

• $20,000 G 15 D 8
  
• Nanomachine based healing technology can reconstruct nearly 99% of human functionality with nothing more than a client’s bone marrow, reviving them from post mortal non existence. A power some would consider… unnatural.

Show off your style (and money) with new golden tool upgrades for all tools (except grenades)

Hello drivers!

As we saw a lot of impressive costume choices you had, we want to hold this limited time TRDS Costume Contest to let you show off your looks for your little drivers! Needless to say, all amazing fashion designers that stand out will get a great prize. This can also be your opportunity to have your design come to life in the game!



The first round will start today and our internal team will pick 5 winners from all submissions on Tuesday, May 4th, 12:00pm PT. After that, we will initiate a public poll on our Discord server so you all have the chance to vote for the most fashionable look to your eyes!

Join Discord

To participate, you simply need to put together a costume using the available pieces in Totally Reliable Delivery Service or even draft out your own design which is not yet in the Totally Reliable shop. Submitting a screenshot or a short clip of your work to the #Screenshot channel in our Discord server or here on Steam at the Screenshots tab with a simple sentence of explanation will be considered participation.

- For the ultimate champion: the champion who gets selected from the public poll will be granted a chance to have their design come to life in the game! Our team will work to realize the champion’s outfit designs in the Totally Reliable shop so everyone who participated in the contest can decorate their drivers with the pieces.

Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people are now forced to be at home in quarantine, we decided to add another Let's Play Together competition in the middle of the week. This is an experiment. There can be different crazy levels. There will be no prizes. Perhaps this will last only for the period of forced isolation, but if everyone likes this extra competition format we will make it permanent.

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level, complete it with 5 stars and have fun!
Visit our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel) to learn more.

This week's level is

Good luck everyone!
