Orbital Bullet Receives New "Harvest Season" Update
Assemble Entertainment released a brand new update this week for Orbital Bullet as players can now head into the "Harvest Season". This update notches things up a bit as it gives you a new amazing but deadly planet to explore, four new weapons, five new upgrades for all of your weapons, four new skills, and some brand new music to do all the extermination by. We got more details below and the trailer as the update is available right now.
While it might look like a great place to host a Tron-themed rave, the planet Talos is anything but a fun place to party. Even the sadistic goons at Dread Corp. won't venture out without protective suits, armor, and robotic drones. However, it's an extremely important planet for any evil corporation thanks to the Harvest Fields. The never-ending lightning storms provide a near-endless supply of energy — which is useful for powering the Neuropods, which Dread Corp. installs in the strongest hosts to create and control new elite soldiers.
Luckily, players won't have to head in ill-equipped, thanks to a whole bunch of new weapons, skills, and upgrades. Being on a planet full of electricity is super handy for charging these new firearms, and the Charged Laser, Burstgun, Cannonball, and Bouncing Shotgun can all be powered up by holding the trigger button — making for a larger, messier, and more powerful destructive force! It's nice to have a better gun, but sometimes combat requires a more tactical approach. The Harvest Season Update comes with five new upgrades, including the distance-increasing Long Shot, the Melee Swing that can stun enemies up close, a damage-reducing swarm of drones, a critical chance increaser, and a hover ability.
But wait, there's more! Four new class skills are also available to players with the new update. The Auto Turret drops a tower that shoots plasma projectiles horizontally at enemies. The Rocketeer Jetpack allows players to charge up a homing missile that seeks out enemies in close range. The Boosted Weapon Switch encourages diversity in death-dealing by providing a temporary power boost which increases weapon damage every time the weapon is changed. Finally, the Deadly Dodge skill allows players to simultaneously avoid an enemy attack and give 'em what for with a slash of the knife!
