Adding a <strong>silencer <\/strong>to your scavenged pistol or SMG is a good idea as the Titans gidlets will react to the noise of gunfire. Wading in with a noisy shotgun may create more problems than it solves. <\/p>\n<p>Also new are <strong>night vision<\/strong> and <strong>X-ray<\/strong> goggles&#8230; useful as the Titans react to the light of your torch, and you can only see so far without it&#8230; and in the case of X-ray goggles for example, checking there isn&#8217;t something nasty lurking on the other side of that door. <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a whole range of <strong>distractions and traps<\/strong> that have been added but need models \/ icons \/ much tweaking, including the timebomb (c4, eggtimer, wire), remote c4 detonator, tasty smelling poisoned bait, a squeaky toy, proximity mines, fireworks, a boombox&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Scenery!<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ve added a load of new scenery which we are planning to use to create various set pieces in the randomised maps. This last month we&#8217;ve added the <strong>Omni-mart<\/strong> (supermarket shelves, signage, looted food packets, trolleys, checkouts), <strong>riot police<\/strong> (riot van and skeletons), and <strong>British armed forces<\/strong> (challenger tank, landrover, light artillery, sandbags, barbed wire barricades, ammo boxes, field command and skeletons).<\/p>\n<h3>Binoculars!<\/h3>\n<p>Activate to switch to first-person view. Very much work in progress, but pretty funky so far \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h3>Crafting!<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got a basic crafting system in now, though it&#8217;s not quite ready to show off yet. Poisoned bait for example can be made using a mix of either nice cheese, cooked bacon, pizza slices or leftover kebab&#8230; and a bit of poison. <strong>Irresistible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be expanding on the number of things you can craft in the coming months. If you were stuck in a monster-infested apocalyptic Basingstoke and to survive had to construct a cunning device or trap with only bits of string, discarded food, office equipment, household electronics and Gaffer tape&#8230; <strong>what would you build?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back to Basingstoke.
