00:02Here at Rebellion, we want to enhance the player experience for all Atomfall players with a free update.
00:08This includes a quicker way to travel across the regions, new hidden weapons to find, quality of life and combat improvements, and much more.
00:17Today we're going to give you a glimpse into what's in store for those returning to the Quarantine Zone, or starting their journey through Atomfall for the first time.
00:25In this free update, we've added the Rapid Travel Network to Atomfall.
00:30When BARD first moved into the region, the scientists needed easier ways to traverse the Lake District.
00:36After the incident at the Windscale Atom Plant, this network was forgotten about until now.
00:42One of these hubs can be found in each region of the Quarantine Zone, and can be used to quickly move to other hubs you've unlocked through the use of lost BARD hatches.
00:51Discovering all of these hatches will be a difficult challenge, requiring you to explore the Quarantine Zone and face its many threats.
00:58But once unlocked, you'll be able to travel between regions in style.
01:02While we won't tell you explicitly where or how to activate these hatches, a good starting spot is North East of Molly the Trader.
01:11To get started, as we previously mentioned, we added some new elite weapons to find during your journey.
01:18Those who are familiar with other Rebellion titles may notice something familiar.
01:23There are three weapon variants that can be found throughout the Quarantine Zone, left behind by a mysterious stranger known only by their call sign, Red Fox.
01:34By following a series of leads and investigations, you'll be able to track these items down, uncovering unique versions of the Commando knife, suppressed pistol and a powerful bolt action rifle.
01:47You'll also find out what happened to the mysterious Red Fox.
01:52Combat is also a core experience in Atom 4, so we decided to make some improvements to make combat feel even more visceral and satisfying.
02:02These changes include more rumble, stickier impact pauses, more physical knockbacks and plenty more.
02:09On top of all this, we made enhanced improvements to AI behaviours, weapon balancing and overall improved the gunplay.
02:18Grab your favourite melee weapon like the Cricket Bat and smash into enemies with devastating force.
02:24They'll fight back even harder, so being extra vigilant during combat and carrying some healing items will be essential.
02:31Enemies won't just take aggression up close either, they'll use everything at their disposal to take you on from a distance.
02:37Whether that's explosives or guns, you'll need to be equipped and prepared to take on the dangers you face.
02:45While the Quarantine Zone can be a scary place, having a specific phobia of certain creatures shouldn't stop you from enjoying Atom 4's adventure.
02:53The newly added Phobia Safe Mode should help make your time in Cumberland a little more enjoyable.
02:59In the accessibility options, you can find the Phobia Safe Mode setting.
03:03Here you can turn any of the hostile vermin swarms in the game into Cornish pasties.
03:08Although they will still attack you normally if you get too close, it will be in the form of a savoury pastry treat.
03:16Alongside these major changes, we've also made a host of quality of life improvements, including adding a location save,
03:23which will always remain whenever you enter a new area.
03:26This can help you make different tactical choices on how you approach each area, and can give you a reset if things take a turn for the worse.
03:35For more information on the other improvements, visit the Atom 4 website to read the patch notes.
03:41There is so much to discover in this update, along with the Atom 4 Complete Edition, which includes the base game, the basic and enhanced supply bundles, and two story expansion packs, Wicked Isle and the Red Strain.
03:54Will you fight for your survival and find a means of escape?
03:57Atom 4 The Complete Edition is available now on Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles.
04:06For PC players, Atom 4 is available on Steam, the Epic Game Store, Windows PC and the Xbox App for PC.
