Icarus Patch Notes – January 13, 2023

New Mission – REMNANT: Extraction

Added a new mission, REMNANT: Extraction. Similar to the introductory missions DEEP VEIN and PAYDAY, REMNANT guides players to place a number of radars in various locations to find, extract and launch exotics into orbit.

REMNANT takes place on Styx however, which has a much higher saturation of exotic deposits on the map, so the mission has a wide variety of outcomes. Lines from the radars will point players to different exotic deposits with varying distances, and allow them to learn the mechanics in a more dynamic environment with more paths to choose from.

Exotic Extraction Balance

Made changes to exotic extract, unifying the drill slot count across biomes and increasing relative mining speed to provide a balance.

All three biomes (forest, arctic and desert) will now have two extractors, reducing forest from three to two. To balance out the reduction, each extractor will extract exotics 50% faster, which provides a better situation for single player session where players may not want to have to craft multiple extractors.

Effectively, this just reduces the forest biome to only having two extractors, to be in line with the arctic and desert biomes, but these 2 extractors will be as effective as the previous 3 allowed in the forest biome.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where if a client holds a shield and a one-handed weapon the UI doesn’t show the shield highlighted
• Fixed an issue where Dropships & Dynamic missions can trigger outside of the playable area by implementing a new ‘Bounds Mask’
• Before writing to Character/Profile/Prospect data, temporary backups of original files are created to as safeguards in case of an unexpected shutdown or game crash during the saving process. Save file restore occurs on the initial application load
