Bloodthirstylord said on YouTube an update is coming tomorrow and there’s been various people on forums building to suggest an update is coming this week. Any support for this?
Update tomorrow? Hype thread

The DLC said the katana is being released tomorrow, so it suggests that other things are coming with it. Like last content drop, with the hammerhead, the elder, the gold, a bunch of fixes and balance tweaks, etc.

I’d bet money on it being tomorrow.

After grinding for the last month to get to 150, I’ll be passed if they release the Elder and the Gold shader.
Well, it was released, if you got to the level. They might raise the cap again, and release more things to unlock.
We’re getting the katana as a free update. At the very least there will be a patch for that. If it’s only the katana we’ll also get a lot of angry players

I really really hope they fix the damn matchmaking on PC… I wanna play the game. I don’t care about skins or bullshit I can’t even use for now.
Look forward to what ever it is. I think there’ll be more to it than the Katana. Maps if they’re ready would be nice, think it’s too soon for a new mode but would be happy to be wrong.
I do think there will be more cosmetics, which are nice but not the content I would like most. The stream of cosmetics has been nice.
FT options would be preferable, as I think wait times need the help. Maybe a new class, or some small balance changes to existing classes. I think a new class would get the most players trying FT rounds.
I also think it’s too soon to expect some form of upgrading to the level cap. Next month makes more sense to me. Again I’ll be happy to be wrong, even though I’ve only gotten 140 so far.

Don’t know what to expect so I expect nothing.

Can’t be that hard to do a map, just replace trees with buildings and streetlights.

They have to create completely new assets. It will be a few months before we see a city map. Unless they were working on it before launch but I doubt it

On the contrary its difficult as hell balancing wise considering pred needs cover, foliage etc to actually work (while still being open enough for leaping to work)and it has to be optimized on top of that & this game explodes on its publisher console. Then the missions. Then the rng items. And you have the predkour system on top of that which is probably one of the biggest issues as its on rails and only works when objects are within a set distance of eachother.
Streetlights don’t have branches that act as natural cover. There’s a reason they reuse the same 3 tree variations in the current maps instead of letting you predkour slide down silos and pipes. It doesn’t work like that.
Sure they could remove the parkour and basically make the whole map the swamp portion of backwater without the water & the single tree is a streetlamp with no cover for the pred but thats garbage and you shouldn’t be desperate to play on a half-assed map backwater 2.0
It’s a shame they didn’t opt for PS4 pro support being that’s the only console the game is available for. Especially knowing crossplay was a thing.
Another jungle map? Maybe night maps or something more akin to the 87 or the 2010 movies?
If its a night map… foliage is not necessary. The game lacks the depth that other avp titles brought. Avp on pc was so good… you would have 15 people in 1 match. 3 preds 7 aliens and 10 marines. It was a slaughter house

Foliage is necessary if its like night in any other game where you just adjust your gamma and can see absolutely everything which it 100% would be the only solution is to make it insanely foggy and set everything on fire but PS4’s will explode. Meticulously crafted debris everywhere could work but its basically just that train crash area on derailed. If they managed to make a city map without it nuking my PC or having 0 cover from snipers I would be surprised.
AvP is a team deathmatch.
I think the quickest and easiest thing to do would be to make night and rain variants of existing maps coupled with new FT missions.
