To celebrate the end of the year we've cooked up a massive update that will allow players and long time fans to enjoy the game more easily.

1) NPC Teammates

Teammates will help lobbies feel fuller, they use custom logic to attack and defend objectives. This mimicks behaviour of other players and dramtically improves the experience when player counts are low.

Full Teamate Breakdown:

  • Attack/defend objectives

  • Cycle between objectives if they are not being attacked

  • Revive other teammates and nearby players

  • Have 5 Classes (Assault, Technician, Gunner, RPG, Sniper) that all use unique loadouts to maximize combat variety

  • Use Unique styles that denote which class they are. These are different for each team, keeping in mind the theme. (Cops looks like cops and vice versa)

There are some limiatations with teammates, namely that they can't score points. This will be improved in a future update but requires a massive overhaul of the game logic.

2) New Vehicles

  • Star Objective can now be a TANK (last update)

  • Plane, Tank, Cannons, and UFO added to the map. These powerful vehicles have an extra long cooldown to balance out their utility.

  • Baller Vehicle is now the Limited Time Vehicle (LTV) in both team's spawn areas.

  • Additional vehicles have been placed around the map based on player feedback

3) New Tutorial

This will help new players understand the mechanics. We've kept it short and to the point. Tutuorial Quests appear much larger than Daily Quests to help with visibility.

Once you have completed the tutorial you will go back to seeing Daily Quests. This is saved between sessions.

4) QOL Fixes

  • Improved Minimap

  • Improved the map design

  • UI Fixes

  • Etc.

This Update will go live on December 19th at Noon CST.

If you encounter any issues we strongly encourage you to use our new bugs channel to report them so we can fix it as quickly as possible.

Happy Holidays from the Coconut Farm Team!
