Frozen Trail - 2.0 Update (2.0)
In short, from the official notes:
- New map Pendola Pass, where Embark is testing a Dynamic Loot Zone system that varies the value of loot areas from raid to raid.
- New map conditions Frigate and Redirection, and three new ARC enemies: the Bully, the Skulker and the Hydra.
- New weapons Bantam and Stiletto, plus Amplified Weapons and cosmetic Weapon Stencils.
- The Anvil moved from Uncommon to Rare and lost its Tech Mod slot, so the Anvil Splitter is no longer a mod; the Bantam takes over as the uncommon hand cannon.
- A revamped Skill Tree: a binary choice node in the middle of each branch, and two end nodes where you pick up to two of three skills.
- The Outpost, unlocked through a project, which opens a new research station and takes furniture crafted from Design items found Topside.
- The Reward Pass replaces Raider Decks, which live on as the Legacy Pass, and Reward Points replace Cred.
- Since Frozen Trail 2.0, quests and quest objectives grant XP.
- 22 new quests arrived, and five older quests now need photos taken with the new Camera.
- Traders: Tian Wen's Anvil and Hullcracker move to the Nomadic Envoys' weekly rotation, Shani now prices in Coins, and Cassio replaces Ermal.
- Max stash size rises to 328 slots without Expedition bonuses, and Solo vs Squads leaves the matchmaking options.
