Hey everyone ! A new update for Dead Alone is available right now with a lot of changes, fixes and even some new features ! With this update, a new playtest will be available for 2 weeks. I will share more informations about the official release date of the game in the upcoming weeks ! Don’t forget to wishlist the game if you wish to support me! Anyway, let’s check the patch notes for this update ! [list] [*] The biggest addition with this update is the Construction Mode ! With this new feature you will be able to build traps anywhere you want and even repair explosive barrels to use them again. All these constructions will obviously cost you some ressources but they are a great way to prepare the area before engaging with a new group of ennemies.

This rework has the goal to make the use of projectiles easier by reducing the amount of interactions needed to throw one. By default you will now always have one projectile equipped which you can quickly throw at any time with a single button click. You can still change projectile type with the selection wheel by holding G. [*] With this update I also added a new sleeping buff for the survival gamemode: “Efficient killing” This buff give you 50% chances of refiling one ammunition when killing an ennemy with a shotgun, sniper or rifle [/list] [h3]Other changes and fixes:[/h3] [list] [*] Added a proper death animation for the player [*] Some inputs have been modified to support the projectiles rework, if you previously changed the keybinds for those inputs, you will need to rebind them in the settings.
