[New Features]

[Kaido - K1 Occupied Zone] New Map Coming!

※A part of Kaido is unlocked - the K1 Occupied Zone.

Once a secret laboratory of UTE and Ophiuchus Research Institute, the K1 Occupied Zone has become a battlefield for the Underground City and Marauders.

※[What's New]

1. Jason's Party and Olive's Party are vying for power in K1 Occupied Zone. They have stored their important supplies in several secret rooms.

2. Due to the heavy contamination of Pheromone, the unusual weather - Pheromone Rain may occur at dawn or dusk. The Pheromone Rain will come with extremely dangerous thunderstorms. Please take shelter accordingly.

3. It is said that the mysterious Air Ducts in Kaido Central Hospital were discovered by the Yuki Rin Scout Team upon their arrival. These ducts lead directly to certain secret rooms, but Fireflies must exercise extreme caution as they are fraught with danger.

4. The Skybridge connecting the Outpatient Building and Inpatient Department provides a convenient pathway for transitioning between the two units. Be careful while traversing this bridge, as its glass surface may be easily shattered by enemies.

5. It has been speculated that the enigmatic holographic map in Kaido Central Hospital possesses the ability to divulge enemy positions. The Scout Team is currently working on the repairs, and the progress made thus far is promising. It is anticipated that the map will be available for use in the near future.

 

[New Marauder] The Viper Squad Is Coming!

※The Viper Squad will appear in Kaido - K1 Occupied Zone, guarding the valuable supplies stashed away in secret rooms by Jason's Party and Olive's Party.

1. To protect themselves from the Pheromone Rain, the Viper Squad has equipped special protective suits. Be aware, these suits can also help them resist the damage from Gas Grenades.

2. The special protective suits can collect toxins in Pheromone Rain, providing an adequate source for making the Gas Grenades.

3. Viper, the leader of the Viper Squad, has some other plans and won't show up in Kaido yet.

 

[Pet System] Available! Come Meet Your Loyal Exclusion Zone Comrades!

※The information discovered in Kaido has promoted the development of Pet technology in Underground City. Each Pet has its own unique Abilities and distinctive Actions. They are your most interesting companions and your most reliable comrades on the battlefield. In this update, we will introduce three different Pets for you!

※[E-186]

1. Raised from the 1030 Artificial Womb of the Underground City's Military Working Dogs Institute, E-186 is a professionally-trained German Shepherd - the earliest known breed to fight in real combat.

2. The Underground City has assigned E-186 to all Fireflies as their combat companion. Though his Tactical Saddlebag's carrying capacity and Retrieval speed are not outstanding, they can still follow most of the orders.

※[Haruko]

1. Haruko is raised from the 677 Artificial Womb of the Underground City's Military Working Dogs Institute.

2. Haruko's Tactical Saddlebag can be upgraded to a 2x5 volume, making it a renowned treasure container for all long objects. If you find a Blade of Legacy in the Exclusion Zone, Haruko will be your trusty companion to keep that baby safe and sound.

3. With her sharp sense of smell, Haruko can swiftly Retrieve your lost item from the Exclusion Zone.

4. Haruko is a smart Akita. She can do more interactions with you as the Affinity increases.

※[Sirius]

1. Sirius is a bionic & AI-powered robot dog.

2. Sirius has a superb carrying capacity. Its Tactical Saddlebag can be upgraded to a 3x4 volume, making it the Moving Warehouse in the Exclusion Zone. An excellent choice for the most ambitious treasure hunter!

3. The advanced bionic design and AI technology make Sirius an excellent item retriever. It can Retrieve items quickly even when it has not been upgraded.

4. With an advanced AI system, Sirius can now interact with humans. Let's have a try!

※[Abilities]

1. Pets have 2 Abilities: Tactical Saddlebag and Item Retrieval. More Pet Abilities will become available as the exploration of Kaido progresses.

2. Tactical Saddlebag: When you fail to Evacuate, the item you put in the Tactical Saddlebag can be retrieved by your Pets, on the condition that they have the Item Retrieval Ability. In the meantime, Heidi will recycle all the Secure Cases you currently own at the full purchase price in the form of Gold Bars, while the amount insufficient for exchanging Gold Bars will be supplemented in the form of New Pounds (if any). All Gold Bars and New Pounds will be delivered through mail.

3. Item Retrieval: Some Pets can retrieve lost items, but their Retrieval speed varies. Note that you must apply Scent Marker on these items before entering the Exclusion Zone if you want them to be retrieved by your Pets.

※[Interaction]

1. The Pets you own will be displayed in the Shelter. Go interact with them and see what they can do!

2. You can also interact with your Pets via the PETS Screen. Who knows what surprises await when you spend more time with them?

4. Your Pets will follow you in the Exclusion Zone. However, you can Recall or Summon them at your will.

5. As the Pets represent a brand-new technology in the Underground City, they are undetectable by Sound Indicators for now.

※[Upgrade]

1. You can upgrade the Pets you prefer. Note that different Pets have different Abilities and Ability limits.

2. Pets have an important attribute called Affinity. The higher the Affinity Level, the more Abilities and Interaction options a Pet will possess.

3. To upgrade the Affinity Level, you need to accumulate the Affinity EXP for your Pets. To do so, you can bring them into the Exclusion Zone, ask them to retrieve items, or have more interactions with them.

4. Your Pets will consume Fullness or Battery each time they follow you into the Exclusion Zone, or when they are sent to retrieve items. E-186 and Haruko will consume Dog Food to recover Fullness. Sirius will consume 24V Detachable Lithium Battery to charge its Battery. Both items are available in Heidi's Store.

※[Costume]

Doesn't a bucket hat fit our cutest friend Haruko? Your Pets can dress up in different Costumes. Let's have a try!
