Gameplay Balance and Scripting
Expeditions Changes
The overall goal of these changes is to ease players into Expeditions. Things will still scale up to the same difficulties but the initial tiers should be easier now to help folks ramp up.
Additionally, it should now be a bit easier to come across Unrestricted Items to bring on further trips and bypass those pesky ZETI Restrictions.
- Initial battery cost of Anchor Locks lowered on earlier Expedition difficulty tiers
- Initial Trunk and Part restrictions lowered on earlier Expedition difficulty tiers
- Items spat out by Ida will now stay put a little more
- Pufferfish has increased odds of dropping Unrestricted Items
- Zone Trader will now offer more Unrestricted Items
- Zone Trader prices slightly lower
- Higher chance of finding tools in car trunks while on Expeditions
- Higher chance of finding tools in Government Crates while on Expeditions
- Higher chance of finding First Aid Kits out of backpacks while on Expeditions
