Update Preview: Embrace the Abyss
While Europa is unforgiving by its nature, we want to make Barotrauma a little less demanding to get the hang of. To this end, were adding
Were adding more story features to the campaign, in the form of slowly creeping radiation. On the flipside, you will need to take some time to build a reputation and upgrade your sub to be able to move to new areas of the map. Radiation can be turned off in the game settings for a more sandboxy experience. The update also introduces limited mid-round respawning for multiplayer campaigns, and side missions that are found as icons on the campaign map.
The update adds two deep sea monsters, the charybdis and the endworm, that only spawn in the abyss that is found below the normal level. The abyss itself has got a bit of a facelift, making it easier to access from all levels and adding mineral islands to make exploration more rewarding.
Another major content addition are abandoned outposts: an outpost that is near monster hunting grounds may be taken over by outlaws and wildlife. New missions to clear out an abandoned outpost are being added too. As always, the update will include numerous other fixes, additions and improvements. You can already see some of those on our Trello, and check out the full changelog when the update is released, next week!
