This past week was relatively quiet, up until the Econ Forum. Chris (VP of Game Economy) brought fresh alpha, including a new reveal concerning Black Goo, which is an upcoming UE5-only resource tied to exclusive combat components coming with SAGE C4. The team is also weighing whether to shut down FICs ahead of C4, and hinted at major changes to game economics in this week’s Town Hall. Last, but definitely not least, a new UE5 patch rolled out that nerfed the Profound Punaab and introduced several quality-of-life updates.
