Ho-ho-ho! Santa Sam is back in this Merry Christmas update! But this time Santa has a big mission - he has to find a super gift for you. Yes, exclusively for you! A powerful [b]Freezer-Burner gun[/b]!
If you want to play with this toy, you'll have to help Santa Sam! Here are the [b]instructions[/b]:
[olist]
[*] Find a lonely Christmas tree in each level and slap some decorations on it;
[*] Explore a fairytale universe full of wonders (and survive);
[*] Pick up a piece of the Freezer.
[/olist]
Once you've collected all the fragments, the Freezer is yours!
[i]Make sure that you are on a fresh playthrough[/i], as Christmas trees will not appear on savegames created on previous versions of the game.
The Christmas event will be active until [b]January 8th 23:59[/b], but if you miss it - you'll be able to check it out next year, as it's not going away. Also, you can experience this event at any time of year in a new game mode.
Yes - alongside the new Christmas event, Update 1.06 delivers the New Game+ mode!
[h2]What’s New?[/h2]
[h3]Christmas:[/h3]
[list]
[*] Christmas-themed game menu, Netricsa and enemies. If you’re Grinch, turn off seasonal content in the Game Options menu and restart the game.
[*] “Freezer” Burner weapon skin, unlockable during the Christmas event.
[*] A new special area on every level, available during the Christmas event.
[*] New music by our awesome Anna Lazarev (Musearys) and mighty Ivan Špeljak Jitz (Undercode) collab!
[/list]
[h3]New Game+:[/h3]
[list]
[*] After completing the main campaign in Singleplayer or Co-Op, you can now opt to continue playing in New Game+, starting from the first level but keeping all your skills, weapons and gadgets!
[*] New Game+ features progressively more challenging game modifiers, return of a fan-favorite weapon, an ability to upgrade your weapons and tons of new enemy encounters!
[*] If you have ever completed the Siberian Mayhem campaign, you are able to start the first New Game+ level from the menu, bypassing completion of the final level of the campaign.
[*] In Cooperative, New Game+ offers the option to save your current Co-Op session so that you can load it at a later time and continue the endless journey with your friends! Be aware that this feature saves the state of the Co-Op session as it was at the start of the currently played level, and loading puts you at the start of the level as well.
