Filming some combat on Descent today for the Gorgeous Trailer. We often turn the HUD off ("r_gui false" in console) to make the shots cleaner / more trailer like. Of course, this means not having a crosshair. So, Blue-Tac sniping time! (Or, in this case, sticky label sniping!)
It was gunna be in the game yeah but dropped because if it practical uses. I mean imagine tring to control a riot of oni with a taser, you would end up with a horn somewhere it shouldn't.
Ah awesome Hugh, you guys are releaseing that bit of info? This was the concept art for that particular piece of gear:
Great, now Marines get a new weapon and an upgrade for it. With the Skulk attachment, does the Taser still have it's ranged component or is it melee only? Do the shock and bite stack for damage?
It seems more awesome than I imagined. Babbler shields? Aliens popping like watermelons from Railgun hits. My God. That obese MAC-like thingie, I hope it's not a prop but a replacement for the ARC model. Would be so nice. ARC's always looked out-of-place anyway...
EDIT: Is that a female Marine up on that billboard by the way?
On the human side, the mech unit is getting a new weapon in the form of a rail gun. You can simply shoot off small bolts, and holding the trigger for a charge will obliterate smaller enemies. Like, literally. Unknown Worlds has added a new disintegration effect and you'll see enemies like the Gorge just explode like a watermelon getting hit with a hammer.

If those are map decorations, lets hope they're made in such a way that someone can swap them in to replace the EXO and MAC.. cause those new robots look amazing.
Yea I suppose them being descent props makes sense, though it's really sad since marines could really use some new toys too, and not just some shitty new weapon on a platform that isn't competitive anyway.

Wasnt the tazer the initial weapon that would occupy both the hatchet and the pistol space? Cant remember that far back
That Taser design actually looks really cool. I would love to run around stunning skulks and fades and the like.
Isn't that Psycho from the Crysis games? So, THAT's what he does in his spare time...
no

^^ Hamza came by our office and we gave him some facts about Gorgeous... Enjoy!
Giant MACs? What are those?!
Are they just map decorations?
Is it content? Yes
Just because most companies make you pay for it doesn't mean the term DLC is not apt. /semantics
Wait, you are saying we can download this? I have been working all week on coding these changes into my game. What a waste.
It's usually implied that DLC is paid for unless otherwise specified. They should at least have said "Free DLC" in the headline.

Those are just props.
Oh lol!
Sure? Because more in the background theres another one. And its flying. I dont think it sticks to the wall behind. cO
Notice the one fastened to the ceiling. Not to mention they do not aesthetically match the marines theme (red, rounded)
Evil!
