Early Access Roadmap Update - Gear Up
Major Update - Gear Up
Hello, fellow mutants,
The second Major Content Update for Ripout is here! In the latest update to our early-access roadmap, we are bringing you several new things that you can find, craft, and gear up with to explore Derelict ships.
Here are all the things that have been added:
New Melee Weapon
The Katana has been added as a new melee weapon. With this weapon, you will deal more damage at a higher rate when compared to other pieces of your melee arsenal, but at the cost of knockback.
New Garments
Two new suits are added to the game: Covert Ops and Moth. Each has a unique set of buffs for each part of the suit.
New Pet Support Mods
Three new Pet support mods have been added as well. These support mods are passive modifications that will trigger an AOE attack around you every time your Pet returns after completing an attack. You can pick EMP damage, Fire damage, Acid damage, or a combination of all three. With these support mods, you will have more impact while fighting multiple monsters at the same time.
New Hazards — Blaster Turret
A new type of Hazard turret has been added. This turret is the origin of everyone's favorite critter– the Blaster. With projectile-type power, it can deal significant damage if you are caught unaware. When destroyed, you can expect a Blaster Critter to spawn, so be sure to snatch it up before a nearby enemy does.
Join Ongoing Sessions
Our most requested feature, we have made it possible to join any ongoing public session. You will be able to join as a spectator and wait for any players already in the session to revive you on a checkpoint or any resurrection station making it easier to group up and make new friends!
Additions
New lateral movement of enemies is added with new animations to make enemies move easier in larger groups and have more unpredictable movement.
Added damage reduction so players can not be one-shot on the first hit by any enemy after rescue
Changed the rotation of the shuttle at the end of the mission to face the exiting hangar door
Player Grunts — new sounds & improvements
Hotfixes
Fixed an issue with [derelict_name] and [random_last_name] showing instead of the name of the derelict or last name in the descriptions of tasks and journal entries
Fixed an issue with player melee weapon charging heavy attack animation not showing for clients
Fixed an issue where if a player gets downed the pet will always go into cooldown
Fixed an issue with a low stamina sound that was looping and was triggered too soon
Lowered the volume of a low-health sound
Fixed an issue with some Terminals being intractable without being the task target
Fixed an issue with a bigger pack of Goranium components not giving the correct amount but only giving 1 Goranium
Fixed an issue where the last escape task didn’t count all the targeted enemies as needed enemies to eliminate for the shuttle to open
Fixed an issue with weapon equipment sound being played after the animation
Fixed an issue where a task target indicator on the Boss level was not shown
Fixed an issue where the Client was redirected to the main menu after the Boss fight
Fixed an issue where the outline stayed on the boss after death
Fixed an issue where it was shown “Retrieve” instead of “Attack” when Pet was thrown at the Boss
Fixed an issue with the initial tutorial causing the main questline not to start in the first sector
We hope that you will enjoy exploring all the new content in this Major Update. Thank you for continuing to play Ripout and for all the feedback you have provided us! And if you haven't already, you can pick up RIPOUT here.

Fixed an issue with Assault Rifle MK2 and MK3 not being dropped
Fixed an issue where Turret hazard didn’t do any damage to the players
Fixed issues with Achievements: “Our Boss”, “You are not the boss of me”, “Tough but Fair”, “End of the road”, “Learn The Ropes”, and “Firestarter”

Happy Holidays!
3D Realms Live! Special Edition - RIPOUT PAYLOAD Update Livestream
Hey Mutants,
to celebrate the launch of our new Payload Update, we're going live over at Twitch. Jared Bair, NAME and NAME are gonna be checking out the new content.
Thank you all once again for supporting RIPOUT!
Remember, if you have feedback or just want to make some new friends to help you burn away the mutant infestation, hop into the RIPOUT Discord.
Happy Holidays, and have fun with our new Payload Update. See you next time.
The first Major Content Update for RIPOUT is finally here! Explore new levels, embark on new missions, and gear up with new suits and a new sidearm weapon. This update is bringing you all that and more.
We want to thank everyone who has been playing RIPOUT since its release. We appreciate all of your feedback and we are looking forward to hearing your thoughts about this update.
Here is what has been added with this update:
Payload Missions and new Levels
Payload missions are here - board the ship and deliver the payload to its checkpoint to extract valuable loot, new suit parts, or mission progression objectives. But to get the best loot you need to bring the Payload fast to its docking station. It won’t be easy as enemies will hunt you and try to stop your payload from moving forward.
New Suits
Two new suits are added to the game - Dynastinea and Albino Dynastinea, each includes a unique set of buffs for each part of the suit.
New Sidearm
We have added a new Sidearm - the Machine Pistol. This sidearm has a fast fire rate and more ammo than a Standard Pistol and Revolver, meaning that it will be best for players who don’t want to be super precise with their shots and like to spray bullets at enemies.
New Critter
Geist is here! A new critter that will make you or any enemy invisible for 15 seconds. While equipped, you will be able to sneak past enemies. But be mindful of the invisibility duration or you will end up in some sticky situations. Enemies with Geist will take a lot of work to see, so be aware of your surroundings!
System improvements and additional features
Tutorial update - we have updated the tutorial steps with a new room purposed for practicing critter retrieval and using the pet on enemies
We have added an animated outline around the hints text box
Enemy dodge behavior - we have updated enemy behavior with the dodge feature. Now enemies will move more unpredictably and not go in a straight direction toward the player
New music themes are added for different types of ship
SFX orientation is improved for enemies and environment sounds. Now, the direction of those sounds should be clearer
We have enabled the functionality to skip the Credits screen

Added new blood hit effect on all enemies

Since the last Hotfix update, we have been working on fixing some technical issues but also improving some systems and features based on feedback. We have talked in the previous dev blog about improvements that we would like to do in the next period and here are some of the things that you can already check out in this patch.

Added
We have improved some systems and added new things based on the feedback
Stamina improvements - Players will not lose stamina at the same rate when they are in combat compared to when they are just exploring the levels

And if you’re enjoying RIPOUT, consider giving us a vote in the Steam awards for the “Better with Friends” category!
While our team is working on Hotfixes and other improvements that we have received from everyone playing Ripout in the last two weeks, we have decided to share some new things that we are working on which includes new content and not only bug fixes.
New sidearm variety is something that we think is much needed in the current state of the game, so we have started with that. We are making a few new sidearms that will be added during Early Access development as mentioned in the roadmap. Here are some of them:
Machine Pistol
Buckshot pistol
New Module
Introducing Geist! We wanted to add more variability with a new critter that will make you and any enemy invisible. It will help you avoid some dangerous situations or have a better chance of escaping, but it will also make you more aware of your surroundings. Look twice and use your Pet scan so you can better spot monsters with Geist attached.
New Suit
We are going to be adding a lot of new types of suits both visually different and in terms of buffs that they are providing to the player. Here is one of many that we are working on:
New Payload Objective and Level Design
As mentioned in our roadmap we are working on delivering new types of missions including Payload delivery type objectives and tasks. "Here are a few pieces of concept art, some new models, and an example of the first-level layouts that we've created."
Besides all the new content that we are working on and planning to add, we are also listening to all the community feedback,
We have been working on rolling out improvements to Weapon sounds. Assault Rifle, Shotgun, and Long Gun have been adjusted and we have already seen you guys enjoying those guns' feel and sound.
We are also working on changing and improving some of the current systems:
Stamina
Sound directional awareness
Compass improvements
Navigation improvements
Easier onboarding and sector jumps
Weapon feel
Hard and Easy mode balancing
Lobby information
Quick join game
These improvements will roll out in the next few Hotfix Patches.
We hope that you are enjoying playing Ripout and we can’t wait to see your feedback on all of the new things that we will be adding to the game. Keep the feedback coming!
