Parachute Upgrades [Community Choice]

  • Irregular Object Attachments - Carry valuables to safety as well.


\

Mission Retry Button [Community Choice]


Client somehow not totally satisfied (not your fault of course), and you need a fresh start? No problem. With our new “Replay” button, you no longer need to return to the lobby before giving it another try. Saving you clicks so you can save clients.



Punching those NATs


We've made more improvements to connection quality, especially with symmetric NATs. If you've been unable to connect to your friends so far because of symmetric NATs, this update should fix that, along with a number of connection related issues.

More new stuff:


  • We’ve pushed an update to your Embr Phone App! Roads now match the city’s layout 90% better!
  • Maximum FOV increased to 95. Give it a try if you’re experiencing motion sickness or nausea while playing!
  • New players should find level progression more varied.
  • Bonus Cash has been added to Empire Towers. Seems those investments paid off!
  • Early Access roadmap is now in-game! (View it in Settings > Extras).


Community Request Changes:


  • “No Skeletons” Toggle. Guaranteed to hide your mistakes.
  • Grappler claws rotated so they aren't in the same place. How did that work before, anyway?


Balance Changes:


  • Reduced fire spread speed multiplier in 2-4 player matches
  • Hard Hat: Increased to -17% Explosive damage (from -10%)
  • Cowboy Shirt: Increased to -25% Explosion damage (from -12%)


Known Issues:


  • Stadia build is still awaiting certification. If you’re looking to play with a friend on Stadia, please use the beta build: stadiacrossplay

How to activate the stadiacrossplay branch in Embr:
  • Right click "Embr" in your Steam Library and open Properties
  • Click on the “Betas” tab and select the “stadia crossplay” build from the dropdown


Steam should start downloading this version of the game. Once it has finished, you will be able to launch Embr and play with your friends on Stadia! Please note that this build does not include the new EmbrGigs levels.
