EA Content Update 2 - New Ways to Betray

This was the second content update after the Project Winter early access release. Its technical name was v0.1.6929. Notably, it introduced energy drinks and changed the hot springs to warm you up when the console is activated. The following is a transcript of the patch notes.

## Patch Notes

Our second content update is now live! We’ve been working really hard to ensure we get new content out to you survivors and traitors as quickly as possible, so we are pleased to announce we will be pushing new content every 2 weeks from now until 1.0! In the meantime, please check out the notes for this weeks content update.

### **Console Overload**

Traitors now have the option to overload a console instead of just helping the survivors use them. Once the consoles are overloaded they will emit a smoke PFX, and can’t be used for 90 seconds. All of the connected consoles will smoke so the traitor can’t be immediately outed.

### **Hot Spring Overhaul**

We’ve completely overhauled the hot springs for both Survivors AND Traitors! Hop in to find out what it does ;)

### **Animal Guardians**

Wolves will now sometimes guard the second objective!

### **Stat Boost Items**

Stat Boosts are now in the form of energy drinks and are found in traitor crates. There are three types of Energy Drinks: Weak Energy Drinks, Energy Drinks, and Strong Energy Drinks. Energy Drinks also have a low chance of spawning inside of crates for Survivors, so you can’t be outed as a traitor just because you have one.

### **Traps and land mine tweaks**

Traitors are now able to see where each other have laid bear traps or landmines.

### **Bug Fixes:**

In addition to all this new content we have fixed some bugs the community have been experiencing, along with some small tweaks to improve gameplay.
