• Players can build, customize, deploy, and even pet their Runner.

2. Obtaining the Companion

• A new mission called “Making Friends” is available at the Vesslan Bunker Warboard.
• Completing the mission grants players their own machine companion.

3. Companion Features

• Players can customize their Runner’s name, weapons, color scheme, and voice.
• The Runner can be equipped with three different weapons: Machine Gun, Shotgun, and Rocket Launcher.
• Repair Kits can be used to fix the Companion when it gets damaged.
• The Runner has an inventory with a weight limit of 30, allowing it to carry items for the player.

• Light Kits can be changed to alter the Runner’s machine light colors.

• A paid DLC offers additional customization options.
• Five extra paint jobs, three voice boxes, and three light kits are included.
• Modules are introduced, providing the Companion with additional capabilities.
• Three types of armor can be equipped to reduce damage taken.

Bug Fixes

1. Crafting

• Fixed a bug where the UI would display billions of schematic points earned, causing the actual schematic points amount to become negative. Affected players have been set back to 0 schematic points.

2. Machines

• Fixed a bug where the Tank, Harvester, and Wolf wouldn’t use their Stomp attack.
• Fixed a bug where looting an already owned clothing item using “Loot all” would make the entire loot disappear, particularly prevalent in the Reaper’s loot (known as the “Reaper Loot bug”).

3. Minor Visual Fixes

• Fixed minor visual issues with the armor on the Prototype Tank Art.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the Motorbikes’ lights from displaying correctly.

4. Equipment and Weapons

• Fixed a bug where shock ammo didn’t create arcs when attached to a machine, significantly reducing its damage output.
• Fixed an issue where some throwables only lasted for half of their intended time after being thrown.
• Fixed a bug where the Homing Turret’s projectile flew in circles around certain enemies. The Homing Turret’s rockets now rotate and adjust their trajectory faster to hit moving targets.

5. Gameplay

• Fixed a bug where holding down handbrake + reverse while on a motorbike resulted in forward movement and a jittering animation.

6. Mission

• Fixed an issue where weekly procedural missions appeared more often than intended.

7. Challenges

• Fixed a bug where Archipelago missions sometimes didn’t count towards the “Important Public Announcement” challenge.

8. UI

• Fixed an issue where preview images of the DLC Schematics didn’t match the icons.
