NEW DAWN UPDATE - (Discussion)

“As the war against FNIX rages on a New Dawn is rising in Östertörn. To combat the Machines a new update to Generation Zero will be available soon. Resistance fighters, stay tuned for more info shortly!”

No info other than the name, but this is likely going to be the accidental early update that Gamepass got.

What? …Cool!

I believe the name is in relation to the fact that the game will receive more of a “Tutorial”, as was shown in the broken 30+ gigabyte update they accidentally leaked.

Maybe.
I hope it don’t just sounds like a new beginning and a great promise. I’m at least excited what we will see/get.

Just as reminder:

Why aren’t you able to play gz?
I just played yesterday without any problem (despite the fact my safehouses were gone again).

Yeah same, I just played recently too.

@Kaliber is referring to this bug, where you crash while building a base and then crash every time you try logging in. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.

I hope so, that hopefully means I’ll finally be able to play with my friends on Xbox.

Anyone else notice that the hunter looks a little different in the picture? Like a more bare bones variant of the apocalypse hunter?

That was happening to me on launch, I haven’t played on PS for ages now, I really can’t get why PS5 hasn’t had parity with Xbox , I’ve played for couple of years on PS4 and 5 now switched to Series X/S frustrating we keep hearing multi platform optimisation is coming but when ! Anyhow hopefully this update is exciting and PS get some love too :v::heart:

You can play - but it seems you shouldn’t build your base to the very edge of the build zone (which I what I suspect happened for you (see my earlier report).

Well with the name “New Dawn” i would feel it has to do with humanity fighting back, i did notice that in the main safehouse of the dlc island, there is an individual examining a FNIX runner, so there may be some new weapons or gadgets, maybe even new enemy types to counter the rising human retaliation. It would be cool if the humans found a way to use a decommisioned/reprogrammed/modified harvester or tank as a source of transportation. It would make great use of Anita since she is familiar with the FNIX coding.

You mean Veronika?

Veronika is / was computer engineer in FOA.
Anita is / was a travel agent and tourist guide. Now she is leader of the resistance at Himfjäll.

That always confused me. What strategic or tactical skill could a tour guide possibly have?

Well maybe a good leader needs to have people skills.

Elsa is a fighter pilot, she has the most tactical skills, but she arrived later, after Anita assumed her leader role in Himfjäll. The situation in Östertörn asks for civilians to step up, regardless of skills.
Elsa is leader of the group she started, called “The resistance”, mainly operation in Östertörn. While Anita sticks to Himfjäll.

Take Calle, he was a Farmer and yet he, and you the player, managed to destroy the big cannon at #10011.

Janek, well he had a keen eye, observing the machine behavior, while he was an electrician.

Marja, is good in organising and keeping up the spirits. Giving valuable information to the survivors in Östervik.

Is there anything in the storyline to do with Mainland Sweden’s response? Would be cool for that big unused island above Himfjäll to be a strategic point for a mainland military reponse, seeing battles between armed soldiers and vehicles against the robot threat while you go about your business on map

That’ something I’ve been wondering about as well, and as far as I know, there’s a striking LACK of swedish military activity. No recon flights, no warships, not even supply drops. Something seems to keep the government of Sweden from senging reinforcements, and I hope we one day find out what exactly that is.
