This week, in our Boot Camp series, we will explore everything related to operator customization. We will explain how it works and how to unlock it.

Now, let's take a look at how to customize your operator. The process is simple, but we'll walk you through it.

Remember, when customizing your operator, the hitbox remains the same. Thinner operators have no advantages in this regard, and bigger clothing does not slow you down. The helmet shape and size does not matter, the helmet hitbox covers your entire head. As long as you have headgear equipped, your loadout’s armor will protect you. So with this in mind, be free and go wild!

In WW3, you customize several aspects of your operators. 

• Head

• Headgear

• Facewear

• Facepaint

• Chest

• Pants

• Gloves

• Bodypaint

• Arm Patch

• Flag Patch

• Sentence Patch

• Voiceover

• Camouflage for clothing

To start with, you have 3 loadouts. Each of these carries a different set of customization items, which you can mix in any given character slot. However this will be a little limited, so let’s look at how to unlock new items.

First, you can obtain some free items via achievements. Upon obtaining 500 kills in Moscow, Berlin, or Warsaw in Tac Ops, you will obtain an operator blueprint, one for each map where you achieved 500 kills. You can find these achievements in Career -> Achievements -> Events -> Local Advancements. In addition to this free option, there are occasional silver currency blueprints being added to the shop. You can obtain this currency by doing weekly challenges or completing achievements.

Secondly, you can obtain operator blueprints from the in-game or launcher shops. And of course, by purchasing the battlepass and completing the necessary tiers, you will unlock even more operator customization via blueprints.

Once you gain an operator blueprint, they will become available to use from your list of operators. But more importantly, each item that’s included in the operator can now be used to customize your own. You’ll be able to use all of the components that the operator came with, i.e. the helmet, the arm patch, the voiceover, the pants, etc. Obtaining a certain camouflage for a certain piece of clothing will let you color that piece of clothing with that camouflage. In essence, each operator is an expansion to your catalog of customization.

Thank you for reading! We hope you learned something, and we’d love to see what you create in our Discordhttps://discord.com/channels/453170682277134347/1384858176700026900where you can also go for some inspiration from fellow tacticool enthusiasts! And if you wish for us to go into extra detail on any one topic, make sure to tell us, and we’ll be happy to explain. See you next time!

• Reworked Shooting Mechanics

  Shooting is now faster and snappier, allowing for more responsive and satisfying gunplay.

• Move While Shooting

  Mobility is key, you're no longer rooted in place while firing. Dash, move, and reposition without interrupting your attack.

• Updated Projectile FX

  Every shot now feels (and looks) better. All projectile visual effects have been updated for a cleaner, more impactful experience.

  

• Rifter Sidearm Overheat

  The Rifter’s pistol now features an overheat mechanic. Firing too rapidly will cause it to overheat, temporarily disabling the weapon until it cools down. You can also upgrade your overheat bar at checkpoints, so don't panic!

整个故事会在白天和夜晚的交错中推进。

*所有图片均为开发中画面，有可能与实际情况不符，还请知悉。

我们能够跟随主角接触到许多词条——它们是造物主力量的碎片。无论是从书本、对话、还是直接聆听四周的声音中。

收集这些词条，并与身边的人的交流中使用它们，展开新的对话。

词条拥有不同的等级，最终的等级为金色。

只有获得新的启示、或是见证事情的转折点时，词条才能够升级。

梦中探索的是上位的，记载着“话语”的世界。

首个Demo中，我们能够探索记载“自然律法”的 黑曜石碑的梦境。

即便看不见碑文，也会有某个存在帮助主角诵读它们。

碑文得到解读后，便可以发挥灵感，填补空缺，将“话语”补全。

*这篇碑文记述了某个天体。没有眼睛的主角，只能以此种形式觉察“祂”的存在。

自然律法、记忆、习俗……那些没有实体的记载，却着实存在着的“话语”。

在这个动荡的时代，它们也不再完整。

如果能将其补全，那些残缺的也会得到复原吗？

Hello! ːsteamhappyː

This week, we continued adding more production units and spent time tweaking and testing them. We also introduced additional materials, such as coils and blooms, to make metal production behave more like real-life manufacturing.

In addition, we added a company manager feature that allows you to manage multiple companies and switch between them. This means you can finally start new companies while still being able to return to your older ones if you wish.

Before this update with all the new production features goes to beta, we plan to release another hotfix to address a few issues related to the tutorial and some crash fixes. If everything goes according to plan, the new production system should enter beta shortly after that hotfix.

Features in develpment! ːsteamhappyː

Report any issues directly to us!

And don't forget, if you want to see your world's screenshot featured on our TikTok account, "Out Of Ore," use the hashtag #TIKTOKPOST when sharing it in the Discord group ooo-screenshots.

Best Regards,

Christian & The Team

From everybody here at Payload Studios we would like to say a big thank you to all the players who have downloaded the TerraTech Legion demo over the last few weeks. Over 50k players have jumped in and played the demo and we have been blown away by the reception (it has received over 40k wishlists). We also truly appreciate the reviews, good and constructive, as well as the feedback you have been leaving on Discord and Steam. 

We have some good news. We won’t be removing the demo and you will be able to play it all the way up to release (we may even update it with some shiny new things in the coming months). Here is a little taste of what we are planning for the full release:

• More blocks

• More levels 

• More bosses

• More characters 

• A fully implemented meta game

And much more!!!

If you would like to share your feedback and stay up to date on the latest news then you should join our Discord server. 

Until next time, Prospectors!

- The whole of Payload Studios 

• Fixed an issue where items in inventory may not be visually removed after selling them to a vendor.

• Reduced global log size to 125(this was taking more performance than we liked when visible.
  
• Logs will now hide when inventory is hidden. If logs were visible while inventory was closed, would still cause a performance impact.
  
• Reduced cost of "The One Ring" from shop to 650k base.
  
• Updated the look of some cliff rocks. They should be less "blurry" when up close.

The whole team would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who downloaded and played the Rogue Point Demo in Steam Next Fest! The demo received over 50,000 downloads last week! So many Rogues answered the call and took the fight to MERX!

There are always a few nerves before players get their hands on a new game for the first time. To see so many players giving it a go has made us very happy!

Which leads us onto the next thing...

This Pre-Alpha demo build of Rogue Point is not the final product. One of our aims with Steam Next Fest was to see what players thought about the game's systems, to allow us to make necessary changes and improvements before our Early Access release.

We always wanted to make Rogue Point with community feedback in mind, and an important step towards that goal was to get the game into your hands early in development. As developers, we work so closely to the game that sometimes we struggle to see the forest through the trees. It's one of the most important things we learned from the release of Black Mesa - our community is a valuable source of new ideas and fresh perspectives

We've received a wealth of useful community feedback in Steam discussions, the Crowbar Collective Discord and in our dedicated feedback website. And while we're still going through a lot of it, we would like to say thank you again to everyone who took the time to leave feedback! We hope that you'll all be very happy with the state of Rogue Point when we get to release!

As mentioned before, we're currently going through all of your feedback and will be sharing more updates soon about Rogue Point's future development and how we'll be implementing player feedback into the game! So watch this space!

As mentioned before, the demo is still live until June 26th!
