Further Details of the Endless Expeditions Update
The major addition coming in the update is endless expeditions. You’ll be able to set off from the garage on new continuous drives filled with danger and unique rewards. These challenging trips will test even the most seasoned breachers, adding new routes through the Pacific Northwest. They’ll have new gameplay modifiers to deal with plus the longer you traverse, the harder it will get. Luckily, the devs are merciful with the added quality-of-life feature, Suspended Run, available in both endless expeditions and regular adventures. This will allow you to pause and save runs while in progress, allowing you to jump right back into your journey with no progress lost.
Other gameplay improvements available in the update are upgrades to some of your tools like the Thermal Vacuum and the Plasma Scraper. A cluster spawning system will be available on all runs and a new trader character called Ida can be encountered while exploring. There are also some new decorative items to find and display in the garage, new faxes to listen to, and over an hour of new music for the radio.
