FEATURES/CONTENT

⚔️ JOKER’S CHOICE

A small change, but one that feels BIG! The pool of Jokers keeps getting wider, which means your chances of landing one that fits your build keep going down. Since melee and gun weapons often have their own specific Jokers, you’ll more and more often land one that’s completely useless to you, and that can only be broken down for Uranium or swapped at the Refiner. We’re changing that!

</aside>

Collecting a Joker is now instantaneous
When collecting a Joker, an interface will pop up and let you choose between 2 Jokers of the same rarity
All other Joker features remain unchanged

🚨 DISTURBANCE

We’re introducing scaling difficulty to Far Far West! As players progressed through a mission and got stronger by collecting Jokers, it could feel like enemies were no longer a challenge, and the game got less fun as a result. We want players to still feel like they’ve become powerful, so the scaling is modest and should only serve to make missions a little more exciting and chaotic, rather than directly making the game more difficult. For those who want difficulty, expect more challenge on new, higher difficulties in the future!

</aside>

Completing specific actions during a mission will raise your Disturbance Level. At certain thresholds, enemies will be buffed for the rest of the mission

HOW TO INCREASE DISTURBANCE:

BUFF EFFECTS:

🌀 MODIFIERS

Our modifier system has been through a lot of iterations during testing - in our previous devlogs, we showed off modifiers being directly tied to Disturbance Level, as a mandatory random challenge in every mission. We felt this system wasn’t very friendly to casual players, and warped the game too much to be left up to random chance. This new system is fully opt-in, making you ask yourself - dare you strike a deal with the Dealmaker?

</aside>

Modifiers can be activated within the game by finding and interacting with up to two Dealmakers. Each Dealmaker will offer you 2 modifiers to choose from, each modifier giving XP and Uranium based on its difficulty. The third modifier offered is random and has fixed rewards.
- XP from Modifiers are applied to both your hero and weapons. If a modifier provides +500XP, you will individually gain +500XP on your hero, +500XP on your main weapon, and +500XP on your secondary weapon.
One Dealmaker waits at spawn, the other roams freely. Dealmakers can be revealed by completing the Lighthouse
Dealmakers offer less rewards for each Disturbance Level threshold that has been reached
The Dealmakers will vanish after you have completed the main objective, so make sure you have seen their deals beforehand!
