Space Punks “The Core One” Update

Space Punks received another big update. Here is an overview of all the changes.

Features & Improvements:

Restarting Mining Facility – Mission Overhaul

Mines are supposed to be mined. The clue’s in the name. But this mine isn’t being mined, and that’s a problem. Avoid the thunderstorms, fight off the hostiles swarming the planet, and figure out why the mine’s power has been turned off.

Safecracking – Brand New Story Mission

KI-42 can acquire legitimate passports – but in exchange, he wants some data harvested from one of Tangun’s data centres. You’ll need to recover it by making your way to server access point 3. Be careful not to overheat the system mainframe!

Rescue Robot! – Brand New Story Mission

Ellington disappeared while on a parts scavenging mission for Fink, and needs to be rescued. But be careful – Stopan is a dangerous place, full of murderous robots. And to top it off, there have been reports of strange objects falling from the skies…

Character Skill Descriptions Updated

For a deep dive into your character’s abilities, be sure to check out the new skill descriptions in the Enhancer.

All Crafting Elements and Talent Items Can Now Be Scrapped

Are you buried in Talent items, mods, and other crafting elements? Now you can use our awesome scrapping machine to transform these items into precious resources. Keep it tidy!

Vendors Tabs and Names Rearranged

If you want cool weapons, you’ll have to either hunt for them on missions, or craft them, as they are no longer available for purchase from the Black Market. Upgrading is still available though.

In-Game Mail and Message of the Day

The Devil’s Gambit maintenance crew has got some important information for you, Pathfinders! The new Message of the Day screen will keep you updated on all the latest Devil’s Gambit news. Plus, you’ll now also receive personalized messages via in-game mail.

As always, stay tuned for future rewards and the chance to take part in surveys to improve our game!
