The update, named by the creators of Grounded Update, is primarily intended to pose new challenges for players. The main elements are to be the Grounded difficulty level and the Permadeath gameplay mode. The first of these elements will be a real test of the players’ ability and patience. As you play, your enemies will become even stronger and resources, ammunition and parts harder to find. Moreover, at this level, we will lose access to the listening ability and almost the entire HUD. There will be even more difficulties.
Permadeath, as the name suggests, will only give us one chance to survive and beat the game. However, if the vision of the lack of a second chance with the full passage of the title raises concerns in someone, the creators give the opportunity to play this mode “in installments”. The permadeath can be set to a specific chapter or act. This way, instead of starting the whole game from scratch, you just need to repeat the selected part of it. This mode can be played with various settings. For completing it, two new trophies will be available – for any difficulty level and a new Grounded. At the same time, if someone has not yet won platinum, he does not have to worry about new cups. They will not be required to unlock the grand prize.
In addition to the aforementioned game mode and difficulty level, players will also have many new options at their disposal that affect the reception of the title. You will be able to modify the graphics by applying filters. Will be made available, among others cel-shading, sepia, black and white or 8-bit style. New audio and gameplay modifiers will also be added, such as one shot or hit kill, infinite ammo, etc.
The Grounded difficulty level and Permadeath mode will be available without having to complete the entire game first. It is different with modifiers, because here it is necessary to fully playthrough the title. The update will be released on August 13, which is this Thursday.
