Given that four years have gone by since Underrail's lengthy expansion Expedition arrived, I figured that was it for the Fallout inspired CRPG. However, in an unexpected though definitely not unpleasant twist, the Stygian Software team has now suddenly returned with yet more goodies!
The freshly released Underrail: Heavy Duty DLC isn't a story and exploration focused expansion like its predecessor, but more of a victory lap for veteran players. As such, it brings with it a new class of heavy weapons which covers things like machine guns and miniguns, grenade launchers that are a part of the Guns skill, a variety of new feats, as well as a highly challenging new mission that will have you face off against hordes of elite robotic enemies.
What all of this looks like in action, that you can get a little bit of a sneak peek at through the recently posted trailer. Have a gander:
I haven't had the time to dive in myself so take the following with a few grains of salt, but from what I can tell Heavy Duty appears to be a solid enough DLC, albeit definitely on the lighter side as far as new content is concerned. So if you're planning to give it a try for yourself, make sure you're doing so because you're itching to explore new builds and weapons, because that's what Heavy Duty is truly all about.
Whatever your plans may be, you can learn more about the Heavy Duty DLC, as well as Underrail itself, over at Steam. Enjoy!
