[previewyoutube=ni1kfR6FKlc;full][/previewyoutube] [i][h2]Hello, Prospectors![/h2][/i] Wow, what an incredible Beta Weekend 3! Testing your skills against a savage and unforgiving arctic biome was always going to be a challenge, but so many of you did it with courage, creativity and a good dose of humour and joy. It was quite a trek to make it from your peaceful landing zone to the arctic’s genetically modified mammoth, and it wasn’t easy taking them down at the end either! Bullets, bolts and thousands of arrows were shot into that mammoth over the weekend, and our team has thoroughly enjoyed watching your clips, hearing your stories and admiring your victory poses between those massive tusks!

This reduced their spawn rate slightly to give players a bigger window to progress down the arctic valleys. [i][h2]You creative geniuses[/h2][/i] As with each weekend, we were blown away by the awesome clips and content from our content creator community. Daring missions, savage encounters and many good-natured mishaps make for some incredible memories we won’t soon forget.

[i][h2]Community Tools[/h2][/i] Our Discord has hit over 20,000 prospectors - and you’ve been busy! Some dedicated community members have been making guides, wikis and tools to help others master Icarus. It’s great to see the First Cohort of prospectors working together. There’s safety in numbers. Check out these unofficial tools we love: [list] [*] [url=https://icarus.fandom.com/]Icarus Wiki[/url] [*] [url=https://icarusbuilds.app/]Icarus Talent Calculator[/url] [*] [url=https://www.icarusintel.com/]Icarus Intel Map[/url] [/list] Thanks to the Icarus Wiki Team, Therealfaux and FinallyRage for their amazing work on these sites! [b]Warning: Use them but be aware the info won’t always be accurate! While Icarus is in Beta anything can change. [/b]Because the tools aren’t affiliated with us, we can’t guarantee their accuracy at all times, even though the authors of them are doing an amazing job! Ultimately you’ll have to use your own wits to survive Icarus. One tool you can use to contribute to the games development is [url=https://icarus.featureupvote.com/]FeatureUpvote[/url] by providing us with feedback and bug reports. The developers check this regularly and we’ve already implemented many of your suggestions and squashed many bugs.
