Hello! As the development of Operation Ascalon approaches its final stages, I wanted to let players know that Mecha Knights patch 1.5 will include content and new features that won't be limited exclusively to those who purchase the new DLC. New additions to Active Modules will include Missile strikes - you will be able to call in a missile strike with various warheads to help you get out of difficult situations, including cluster munitions effective against larger groups of enemies. Even deadlier active modules will be revealed soon!
Another quality-of-life feature coming to Mecha Knights in patch 1.5 is auto-sell. Parts and weapons that you’ve previously acquired will be automatically sold on the victory screen, if you’ve already reached the maximum possible storable amount. For example, the third duplicate of a weapon or the fifth duplicate of an active module will be sold automatically.
Continuing on from the battlegroup upgrades mentioned in the previous update, which included vehicle damage and armor changes, further upgrades are coming which will include: -predrops: Supplies will be dropped ahead of time before each mission to help you survive -Field Repairs: Allied units will slowly regenerate health points. -IFF upgrade: The health points of allied units will be visible on the HUD. This will be useful to combine with new active modules that will repair some of your allies’ hp during larger battles.
Weapon Tier 3 will bring powerful new additions to your arsenal. -Theia Laser: A powerful long range beam cannon.
-Flak Guns: Rapid firing autocannons with proximity fuses, useful for hitting moving targets.
The game has also recently been updated to support Steam Cloud Saves too, so your saves will persist even if you uninstall or play on a different machine.
The Outlast Trials - Red Barrels Community Manager
Greeting Reagents! A new update is coming to The Outlast Trials Early Access on Thursday, October 26th that will include a new Trial Map: Courthouse, along with new MK-Challenges and new Weekly Programs! A limited-time Halloween event: Program Geister will also be available in which you can brave the Trials to obtain exclusive Geister Tokens and purchase Halloween themed Cell and Character Customizations.
Note that the October 26th update will mark the end of Program Omega for the time being as Experimental Programs such as Geister and the Weekly Programs are being implemented into Trials.
New Trial Map - Courthouse
Now is your chance to vindicate the guilty in Courthouse! This new Trial Program brings along new objectives as our Reagents sabotage the proceedings of the courtroom, silence witnesses, and revoke the authority of the judge. You can complete new storylines by finding the evidence documents scattered inside the Trials to discover more behind the goings on of Murkoff's Sinyala Facilities and its Denizens.
Reagents will come face to face with the new objective enemy, our Scapegoat for this Trial: the Witness. You must use the devices provided by Murkoff during the Trial to locate and silence these Witnesses.
You may also run in to our New Big Grunt enemy skins in Courthouse as well as throughout all the Program Trials.
New Halloween Event - Program Geister
Program Geister is our limited-time Halloween event that unlocks October 27th and will end on November 17th. Throughout this time you will be able to play through select Trial Programs with new variators:
Hallucinations?: You see something! Is it the side effects, trauma or something else?
No Player Names: Player names are hidden. Total immersion for everyone!
More Imposters: More Imposters will be present in the Trial. Watch your back.
Enraged Enemies: Enemies are on high alert! Be careful...
Succeeding in the Geister Program Trials is the only way to obtain the Geister Tokens needed to acquire new exclusive outfits, as well as character and cell customizations. You must play Program Geister to unlock these exclusive customization items during the event and you will be able to acquire the items you unlock using Geister Tokens in their respective menus in your cell. These exclusive Geister customization items will be vaulted and won't be able to be acquired once the event ends. Anything you acquired using your Geister Tokens during the event will remain in your inventory keep.
New MK-Challenges
Introducing 3 new MK-Challenges spread across the different Programs.
Drill the Futterman: People are not toys. Stop Mother Gooseberry from making a human Dr. Futterman. Located in Fun Park featuring Gooseberry
Release the Prisoners: Only Murkoff arbitrates justice; free the convicts falsely imprisoned for their conspicuous guilt. Located in Police Station featuring Coyle
Gather the Children of God: Too much mother-love makes a weak child. Gather the children and bring them to the priest for a more strenuous education. Located in Orphanage featuring Gooseberry
New Weekly Programs
Weekly Programs are a mix of Trials, MK-Challenges, and Variators revolving around one theme. The Weekly Programs will change every Friday and is available for one week only. Be ready to be surprised by what's coming in the following months! The inaugural Weekly Program will begin right after the Geister special event, on November 17th.
Weekly Programs present challenges that will push you to consider customizing your loadout to counter the variators at play. Note that we have new Amps and Prescriptions to beef up your Reagent and help ensure you are at peak performance. Since the Weekly Programs are experimental, your feedback will be invaluable in helping us fine-tune and enhance the experience. We will be making a feedback chat for them in our 18+ Discord when the Weekly events launch!
