2.0 rev8 changes

55 new weapons, 3 new calibers, 1 new grenade type and 5 new Class 5 weapons, as well as certain gameplay changes to accomodate the new weapons.

Gameplay changes

  • DOYAPNK crate features a Model 29 revolver to replace the Taurus Raging Bull.
  • Revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum may also interchangeably load .38 Special ammunition.
  • Revolvers chambered in 10mm Auto may also interchangeably load .40 S&W ammunition.

Loading of multiple ammo types in a single weapon as implied above is similar to that of 12 gauge shotguns; any amount of compatible ammunition can be loaded in any order in the concerned weapon (for example, a .357 Magnum revolver with a 6-round cylinder could load 6x .357 Magnum, or 6x .38 Special, or a sequence of 2x .357 2x .38 2x .357, and so on...)

Natural and optional accessories for the listed weapons are in parentheses following their name.

Gameplay changes

  • Graveyard room reform: Now every graveyard room has, alongside the graves, a Duplica Bot. As the contestant enters the graveyard, a ghost contestant will rise from its grave, and possess the Bot. The result is that the living contestant will fight a Duplica version of a dead one, complete with its entire equipment (clothing and armor + weapons) at time of death. The Bot must be defeated twice (2x 100% Pain threshold) before it is destroyed - as it does in Mission A9, it only counts as 1 kill.
