Vigor Update 12.0 Patch Notes – June 1, 2022

OBTAIN ABSOLUTION THROUGH SCIENCE!

We’re back with another installment of Vigor lore! This time you’ll be able to find out about Dr. Marie Dubois and Dr. Alexander Azimov as they stumble upon a dark secret while on their quest to somehow reverse the effects of radiation. What would you do, if your morals were shaken?! You’ll get to discover that, by finding the11 cassettes in POIs in Encounterand safely returning them back to your Shelter! Since these scientists are trying to find a way to somehow fix the catastrophic after effects of the war that left Norway in its current state, we decided to name this seasonVigor Chronicles: Absolution.

GET “HOOKED” TO ELIMINATION WITH FISKE FABRIKK

You read that right!Elimination mode “reels in” Fiske Fabrikk, and specifically 3 locations from the map will be available to play in Elimination! We know that you’ve been asking for a new Elimination map for quite some time and seeing that we released Kjerstin as a Shootout and Encounter map, it was only natural that Elimination should receive some love as well. We would like to go over the rotation of the new map just to be clear. The first 5 days after the release (that meansfrom today until Sunday June 5th), Elimination will have only Fiske Fabrikk as the available map.After that,from Monday June 6th until Friday June 10th, it will be a rotation between Anikken and Fiske(same as Shootout mode). The next weekend,June 11-12th, only Fiske will be availableandafter that it will be a permanent rotation between Anikken and Fiske.

Continuing with Elimination, it’s time to mention some major changes coming to this game mode! First and most important, in the pre-loadout screen,all players in the lobby will be able to buy score multiplier boosterswhich can be applied to all players in the lobby. The maximum number or boosters that can be purchased by players is 8 and each boost costs 10 crowns. The second important addition is theability to purchase loadout tickets(we’ll get to that in a bit)!

So this is how Elimination will work from now on:

• In the pre-loadout screen you can boost the lobby as we mentioned above (8 times max, 10 crowns for each boost)
• You can also buy the loadout tickets there (max. amount of 5, and each costs 3 crowns)
• Once you enter the Encounter there will be 5 premade loadouts with guns and consumables. These loadouts are permanent for the whole session!
• Each player picks one loadout after which, that loadout will be grayed out and no other player can choose that loadout.
  • However, if a player likes a loadout that is already closed he can use a loadout ticket and open the grayed out slot and select it as his active loadout.
    • this can occur once per round
    • maximum up to 5 times per whole match
• If a player hasn’t selected a loadout by the time the pre-round phase ends, a loadout will be selected for him randomly.

So now you managed to pick your loadout and the first round ended. What happens next? As we said before, the loadouts are the same for the whole session and the one that you chose in the turn before will be on cooldown for a few seconds just for you so that your teammates will be able to claim it this turn. Again, if you really wish to get the same loadout as before, you can use the loadout ticket to buy it.

BATTLE PASS GETS “BOOSTED” TO 75 LEVELS

Since we will be releasing major updates further away from each other, we thought it would make sense to extend the Battle Pass to give players more time to grind. Even thoughthe Battle Pass is now 75 levels, we tweaked the XP curve so it would reflect the additional levels. We also slightly increased the price to reflect the additional levels. So now, you can expect to receive more items, cosmetics, XP boosters etc. Let the grind begin!

Oh and speaking of the Battle Pass, this one’s special as we decided on a different approach this time and addedcosmetics inspired by science and arctic expeditions. Our team worked really hard on this one so you’ll be able to enjoy features that you haven’t seen before! Wanna run around with an oxygen mask and a gas tank strapped to your back? Now you can!

Oh, and did we mention thatyou can now equip beardson your character?! This is something our community was asking for a long time but it’s finally here! This addition opens up more possibilities for character customizations, the only thing to do now is to wait for future variations.

The last major thing you can look forward in the Battle Pass, isthe new special issue L86A1 LSW machine gun! Equip this beast and raise some hell in the Outlands.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PLUTONIUM GOES BOOM?

Imagine if you could somehow grab a vial of plutonium, stick it in a thermos and wrap some dynamite around it (actually, you can see for yourself in our new trailer!). Now imagine what would happen if it explodes. Well guess what, you can find out yourself because we’ve added a new type of grenade,a special issue Radiation Grenade!The way this bad boy works is fairly simple. After the grenades explodes,the area will be covered with a permanent radioactive cloud, dealing damage over time to players stuck in the affected area. The mechanic is similar to radiation damage after the cloud hits the map. If a player approaches an active zone, the Geiger counter sound effect should start ticking with low intensity, as a warning, before the actual radiation starts. This is to remind players that radiation can be just as deadly so if you come across a contaminated area, make sure to not linger there for too long!

“REROLLING” THE RED CARPET FOR CHALLENGES

We’re continuing our process of the challenge overhaul with a new iteration in this update! From now on,you’ll have a chance to reroll a challenge you don’t feel like completing.The way the system will work from now on, is that you will receive 5 daily challenges (1 story challenge which you cannot reroll, and 4 daily challenges which you can). This is part of our onboarding experience to guide new players into completing story challenges and by that, unlocking a bigger pool of daily challenges that increase in difficulty. They way you can reroll depends on the difficulty of the challenge. The easiest challenges will cost 3 crowns and then 5, then 7 and ultimately 10 crowns for the most difficult challenges.

MORE WEAPON CHANGES ARE HERE!

Remember the rework we did on shotguns and sniper rifles for Vigor Chronicles: Perseverance? We’re doing the same, but this time for machine guns. You’ll be happy to see thatwe aligned the iron sights for some machine guns (KK 62, RPK-74 and UK vz. 59).We alsofixed the recoil and crosshairs for all machine guns to make them more easy to use!If you want to see the changes in more detail, you can head over to our changelog.
