Gunzilla Games has released the new ‘Red Ant’ Battle Pass for Off The Grid, introducing exciting new character skins, weapons, and a cybernetic weapon known as the Cyberlancer. This latest update also features several gameplay and balance adjustments, including improvements to movement, assault rifles, and extraction mechanics on Teardrop Island. Additionally, the free-to-play title is set to launch on Steam later this month.
New Battle Pass Brings Skins and Rewards
With the Red Ant Battle Pass, players can access new Red Ant-themed character skins, the Red Carded emote, and the Mavinga Red Ant weapon. Early adopters will also receive the Wolf Tamer loyalty weapon skin. The update maintains the game’s cyberpunk visual style while offering more customization options for players.
Cyberlancer: New Cyberlimb Weapon
A standout feature of this update is the Cyberlancer, a cybernetic limb that allows players to attack enemies by launching forward and deploying a knee blade. This attack not only inflicts damage but also applies a bleed effect. Players can now find Cyberlancers as ground loot or through HEX drops, adding a new dimension to close-range combat.
Gameplay and Movement Updates
This patch includes several changes designed to enhance player movement and extraction systems. Jetpack users will experience faster and longer slides, as well as improved landing rolls for chaining movements. Adjustments to HEX Extraction Terminals make them quicker to use, with more explicit cues for hacking and resuming extractions. The update also fixes an XP bug related to knockdowns and introduces a new cinematic Victory Screen for winners.
Assault rifles have been rebalanced, featuring a 10% reduction in bullet velocity, tighter bullet spread, and more stable recoil. Changes to cyberlimb abilities include the Slugger limb, which now releases a larger area of sticky goo that significantly slows enemies, and improvements to the Slamfist limb’s weapon swap function.
General Improvements and Fixes
The update addresses various technical and quality-of-life issues. UI and localization bugs have been resolved, full-body skin previews now load correctly, and scoreboard scaling has been adjusted. Performance improvements include better lobby frame rates and fixes for camera issues during death animations, as well as shadow corrections around ziplines.
