Weekly News #184

Pshhhh. Weekly news is on, over!
Check the full weekly report on our social pages.
Radio
We are working on giving certain sense to radio equipment, for instance, having a radio would allow you to speak with your teammates, of course, if they also have a radio. Furthermore, we are planning to make it a very important tool that will allow you to reach your base and ask for supplies. Note that your merc still must rest, so it would not allow you to wander the LR map timelessly, but you are out of ammo, or you need additional tools that you do have on your base you will be able to order the needed tools. The downside of the radio it can be heard by any who wants to hear you. In this case, we are talking about bandits and hostile factions that might hear that you are out of ammo. We are planning to add several radio equipment, long and short range, analog and digital.
Finding the merc
There are 2 ways to get yourself more mercenaries. The first one is simple just higher them, this way mercs are always novices. The second way is to find them, you might be wandering around and hear a distress call or just simply find a wounded merc, you might just shoot him and take all his belongings which is also a choice, but if you help him, he would be able to tell why he is here and tell where was he going, in this case, you would be able to find a hidden loot, in most cases, this loot would be a great choice. But on some occasions merc would be so grateful that he would want to join you, note that you must bring him to your base alive in order to higher him. What to choose is up to the players, our goal is to give more options to choose from.
As always have a great weekend, and cya guys next week ;)
