Hello, fellow mutants,
Ripout’s 1.0 Update officially marks the end of our early access, and we couldn’t be more excited about it!
With this official release update, we are adding some new and exciting features as well as various quality-of-life improvements in preparation for the game’s full release. We hope you have lots of fun playing around with everything new in our very first update out of early access!
Ripout Update — 1.0 Update
New Kill Zone Objective
Say hello to a brand-new objective type — Kill Zone! To complete this objective, players must eliminate a specific number of enemies at certain sections of the level in an arena-style shootout.
New Levels
Going into 1.0, we have added a bunch of new levels for players to explore. Check out some previews below!
Cloud Saves
As of 1.0., we have added the ability to save your game progress in the cloud.
Updates to the Character and Save Systems
Players can now create up to 5 characters at once. So if you want to start a new adventure with your friends, you now have much more leeway to do so.
When creating a character, players will be able to select campaign difficulty and opt-in/out of playing the tutorial.
Balance Changes
Patch 1.0 saw a bunch of rebalancing of certain enemies. We have adjusted enemy health and damage further based on the number of players in a given session and their sector progress.
