Jingle Bells!
Vey Hek smells!
Sargus laid an egg!

That's right, it’s time to drink some hot Grofit, sit around a burning pile of Nano Spores and warm your hands on the Holiday Season! Let’s have a nice send off with the last Remote Observer of the Year!

IT’S THE HOLIDAYS AT DIGITAL EXTREMES!

It’s been an amazing year at DE, and with the release of Fortuna: The Profit-Taker on PC, we will all be taking a much-needed rest for the Holiday Season. Digital Extremes’ office will be closed from December 22nd, 2018 to January 2nd, 2019. Our Support Desk heroes will still be around - thank you, support!

We would like to thank you all for being such a wonderful community, we hope that you have an amazing Holiday Season and we look forward to seeing you all in the New Year! For now, here is a quick recap on some of the week’s events!

PC UPDATE - FORTUNA PART 2: THE PROFIT-TAKER

We released the last major content of the year for all PC players, Fortuna: The Profit-Taker! With this update comes a lot of new additions and features. If you have not had an opportunity to check it out yet, here is a list of some of the new features:

- Orb Heists! - Take down the Profit-Taker with the help of your new Fortuna friends. To get to this content, you need to be at the Old Mate level of standing with Solaris United, so get to taking down some Taxmen, Tenno!

- Baruuk, the Reluctant Warrior! - Use your abilities to absorb and reduce enemy damage. Beware when Baruuk loses his restraint, Tenno. He channels his anger into a flurry of blows!

New Floofs! 

New wildlife additions have been made for conservationists:

• Sawgaw - A rodent-hunting bird of prey!

• Horrasque - With a face only an Orb-Mother could love!

• Stovers - Proto-Kubrow aggressors! Watch out for Coildrives!

New Helmets!

For Nidus and Titania!

New Weapons! 

Plenty of new armaments for you to play with:

• Exergis - A Corpus, crystal-firing shotgun!

• Plinx - A simple, battery-powered pistol with added pew-pew!

• Galvacord - Not your average whip! It’s got some kick!

• Cobra & Crane - Baruuk’s signature sword and shield has a sleepy surprise when in his hands!

New Mods!

New Operator outfits!

This is just a small list of everything included in Fortuna Part 2: The Profit-Taker. If you want to see the full patch notes and images of the new additions, you can take a look at the Fortuna: The Profit-Taker update thread over on the forums!

SWITCH UPDATE: HOTFIX 3!

Our third Hotfix for the Switch was released this week, addressing some performance issues and some other quality of life changes, but an important change has come to the responsiveness of the controls!

We’ve decreased coded deadzones to allow for more refined, precise aiming. Players should now notice an immediate falloff in camera movement once input is no longer applied to the control sticks!

Additionally, we have added a number of mathematical improvements regarding the ramp and acceleration curves used to interpolate control stick input. This should help the interaction feel much smoother, with less of a “square” feeling to camera movement.

Be sure to let us know how you find the updated controls in the Switch Performace Feedback Forums!

Have a great Holiday season, Tenno! We look forward to seeing you all in the New Year!
