Weapon Attachments

You can now obtain different attachments of different rarities for your primary weapons. They can be obtained by completing in-game events.

After unlocking an attachment, you can either...

1. Go to the Loadout menu and equip the attachment to the respective weapon, OR
2. Go to the new "Forge" and combine 2 of the same attachment of the same rarity to obtain a similar attachment of better rarity.

Forging however costs resources. So pile up! (If you have already played the game before and collected some resources, they will be available for upgrades right away. You just have to complete some events and grab some attachments).

New Enemy & Final Boss

You will encounter a new biome enemy called the Owl Bear (You'll see why it's called that). It's a rare creature with a lot of HP and a lot of rewards.

There is also a proper final boss now: The Treant. Though still missing sound effects & needs a lot of refining, it's now there and it has a set of attacks based on where you are positioned around it.

New Event: Treasure Hunt

When an event starts, you now have a chance to get a new event: The treasure hunt. While the Crystal Giant event is all about defeating the giant in time, the treasure hunt is all about finding the treasure in time, with no destruction this time.

As soon as the Treasure Hunt event starts, you will start hearing a repetitive beep. This beep intensifies as you get closer to the treasure and vice versa when getting farther. Use your ears to pinpoint where the treasure lies and get to the X-spot before the time runs out (a visual timer is in the works). I will make sure to add an alternative way to find the treasure for those with hearing disabilities in the future!

New Primary Weapons

Added 2 new primary weapons: The SMG and Machine Gun (Heavy).

SMG: Has a faster fire rate, reload speed, and higher magazine size compared to the Assault Rifle, but has a bigger spread and slightly lower damage.

Machine Gun: Has a very fast fire rate and a massive magazine capacity but has a big spread, much slower reload speed and deals a lot less damage per bullet.

These weapons still don't have any attachments.
