Hi alma41!

There's not such thing like a gun more powerful than other. Actually, they are conceived as sidegrades, not upgrades. This way you can adapt to different situations. But if you are playing for the first time, we would recommend you to practice with the basic gun, Dolores. Also, Pepper Pot could be a nice option too.

I hope it helps, thank you very much!

Hi LordDraco3,

Indeed, our QA Team is investigating this issue John_13 reported. We'll let you know when it's solved. Thank you very much!

Harec. the Pale Rider. The Red Death. He is the undisputed leader of the Raiders (Lycus might question his command from time to time, but mostly to bust his balls). For years, Harec guided his nomad clan peacefully, but the Human invasion put an end to that. A Hades Division death squad assaulted his caravan and massacred his people, leaving Harec badly wounded. He managed to crawl inside a nearby temple to bleed out alone in the dark, but an ancient power contained within healed his wounds and awoke a power within Harec; a Power he would use to avenge his murdered kin and eradicate the Human scum from the surface of the Broken Planet.

The latest #DevShout video explores Harec’s role on the battlefield, and offers great advice about how to get the most out of this deadliest of snipers. Carlos Fraguas, Gameplay Programmer at MercurySteam has all the answers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr7EPWm_aJA&t=46s

The Evolution of Harec

Harec was among the first Raiders to be designed during the pre-production of the game. As you can see in these early concepts, the Concept Art team had a clear idea of how they wanted the Raiders’ leader to look from the very beginning, having changed very little from initial sketches to the final rendering.





The team experimented with different iterations of Harec’s gear. Several ideas were finally discarded, while others made it into different alternative skins for the character, like the Red Death or the Headhunter outfits.



Harec’s role on the battlefield was always that of the sniper. His weapons needed to be instantly recognised as long rifles, that Harec modified to interact with his powers, imbuing each bullet with Aleph for a more devastating shot.

See you on the Broken Planet, Raiders!

Hi BeertheBrad,

Unfortunately, it seems a matter of bad luck. What happened to you it's not a bug.

Hi LordDraco3,

If you look into the character configuration screen and you go to the Faction Cards section, you'll see the new Cards are marked with "!"

Hi Kenxkaneki3,

Please, contact us also on raiders_support@mercurysteam.com and we'll investigate the issue.

Thank you!

Earlier this week we shared with you the Patch 07 Designers’ Notes that will include the rebalancing of some characters and missions. We expected V07 to go live today, but the submission process took a bit longer than expected and it will finally go out early next week. To make the wait more bearable, we’d like to share with you a sneak peek of what awaits us when the Hades Betrayal campaign arrives! (We’ll announce the release date in due time, no worries).

As you might have guessed, the third campaign will see the Raiders go head to head against the fearsome Hades Division, an elite mercenary outfit that previously counted Lycus, Hans and Mikah among their ranks. If Harec’s team is going to have any chance of defeating Krausher’s Hades Division, it will be by convincing her most trusted lieutenant, Ayana Kwena, to betray him.



But the Hades Division won’t be the only bad guys around! The Umbra Wardogs have a long-standing enmity with the Hades Division, stretching way back from the days before the Broken Planet’s invasion.



The Hades Betrayal campaign will feature an incredible level of visual variety, and our concept and environment artists have outdone themselves creating really moody, evocative landscapes never seen before on the Broken Planet.



As usual, our concept artists put an incredible attention to detail when designing the Raiders’ weapons, making them look exotic and futuristic while retaining a sense of functionality and authenticity. Which Raider will be using of this pistol?



And of course we have the missions themselves. Our designers are putting the finishing touches to the most hard-fought and dangerous battles to date! Will the Raiders be able to defeat the best equipped fighting force in the galaxy?



Lastly, as was the case with the previous campaigns, we’ll meet new Raiders who will join the team in their guerrilla war against the human invaders, each with their unique fighting style and special abilities. Now, who is this guy exactly?



That’s all for now. If you enjoyed this Spoiler Alert Special, let us know on Twitter and Facebook and we might come back with a sequel soon!

See you on the Broken Planet, Raiders.
