What's New in TVS Beta 45

I hope you are enjoying Beta 45. Here is the What's new post!

Weapons Upgrade Console.

You can now spend your hard-earned Tech Stars to upgrade your main weapons. All upgrades are available directly from the console, and include things like ammo capacity, reload speed, and even a laser pointer.

Nerf Gun and Bazooka Upgrades

• The Nerf Gun now supports electric darts, giving you another way to shock your victims.

• The Bazooka has some fun new ammo types—like a basketball, and just for laughs, a pool cue ball. Be careful with that one.

There’s also a small update to the Spray Gun: now the paint is permanent. This sets the stage for a new feature coming in the next beta—so stay tuned.

Support for Custom Characters DLCs

Starting with our brand-new Cyberpunk Character Pack, which is already available. Once installed, you’ll be able to select new, high-quality custom characters from the Hero Selection Console, and even open them in the Character Creator to make your own edits.

Character Icons

We’ve added the ability to assign custom icons to your characters so you can find them more easily.

Traits

We’re introducing a new system called Traits. It’s still experimental, but traits are designed to permanently alter your characters’ behavior—think of them as permanent serums. We’ll be refining this system in future versions.

As always, we’ve also included bug fixes and general improvements to make the game better.
