With update V39035, we have updated the new user experience while making some much requested changes to Trainyard. For new players, we’ve added the first tutorial level and streamlined the first Dirty Bomb experience.
In Trainyard, we have switched the first objective away from its former capture zone status over to the much more explosive C4 detonation objective. The map has also received a modified version of its former 3rd stage, alongside a bit more love for wall-jumping!
Shotguns have received some much needed tweaking, and the Merc selection process has received a bit of a visual overhaul, we hope you like it! Pertinent Merc barks have been reworked to be more useful across the team, and we’ve hammered away at some annoying bugs, including some tweaks to performance.
As always, we’re eager to read your feedback, so be sure to drop your thoughts in the posts below!
