The Wild West - 2021 Halloween - 3.5.0

400x200

Summary for Patch 3.5.0

Last Modified: 7th of November, 2021


Hey y’all, we’re deeply sorry for the delay of this years Halloween event.

The significant delay was caused by a combination of poor timing on Roblox’s half (a 60 hour downtime!) and that some of our team had other obligations with family & friends. We had planned to work before Halloween, not after, so a lot of our personal schedules interfered with working on the update.

Special thanks to everyone on the team who have made this Halloween event happen! :sparkles:

  • Explosions now damage nearby wildlife, NPCs and glass instead of just players
  • Small balancing changes to general gameplay mechanics

  • You can now lasso players who are in ragdoll state
  • Added new Barkeep role at Mill Run Lagoon
  • Added new Doctor role at Little Rock Reservation

Known issues:

Since we have been under a lot of time pressure, there’s some known issues we’re still working on:

  • The in-game quests menu has been removed. This is due to the fact we’re re-writing the entire progression system and sadly, we couldn’t get it to a completed state at the time of this update.

  • Non-player characters such as the Skeletons may have stability issues; we’ve been trying our best the last few days to refine the NPC system but due to time pressure, we sadly couldn’t address every issue with them.

  • Explosive arrows do not stick to non-player characters such as Skeletons

Halloween 2021 Rewards:

  • New Wendigo horse from killing the Wendigo (Wendigo skull is horse armour!)
  • New cursed human skull lantern from killing Skeletons
  • New cursed volcanic pistol for killing the Legendary Skeleton in the Underworld
  • New pumpkin hat accessories which can be dropped by enemies
  • Legendary Skeleton has a chance to drop a new special dagger
