Raw Data - Boss update 4.0: New hero and new levels [HTC Vive VR]
46Gameplay from the new Raw Data update that introduces a new hero named Boss and two new levels to this VR FPS.
The new Boss hero in Raw Data is a medium-range character with a shotgun that fires grenades. The shotgun is a two handed weapon, you use both of the HTC Vive VR motion controllers to hold the weapon, the left controller cocks the gun while the right controller pulls the trigger. Boss can be upgraded to fire more rounds without needing to cock the shotgun, and to reload by moving the shotgun to your shoulder, he also gets a special ability to lift enemies up in the air, and the secondary fire of his shotgun shoots a grenade.
Official patch notes for Raw Data update 4.0:
"NEW CONTENT & FEATURES
New Playable Hero - Boss, the Street Merc
A hardened survivor of Neo-Shinjuku’s street gangs, Boss blasts robots into scrap with his trusty shotgun or bashes them to pieces with a literal iron fist.
Boss’s loadout and abilities are covered in-depth in his Hero Spotlight, but here’s a quick dossier to get you started.
Note: Boss will not be available at game startup--he must be unlocked by completing the existing missions, including the two new missions added with this update (Extermination and Thundershock).
Boss comes equipped with the Dominator Shotgun, and that name isn’t an exaggeration. This pump-action powerhouse of a weapon fires heavy-duty shells and plasma grenades, both of which can effectively obliterate your enemies on their own.
But be sure to aim true, because this amount of firepower also requires patience on your part: while you can shoot one-handed, you’ll need both hands to pump the shotgun after every shell.
The Dominator Shotgun has four unlockable upgrades:
-Quad Chamber: shotgun will only need to be pumped after four shots (as opposed to after every shot)
-Proximity Reload: automatically reloads when gun is touched to right shoulder; you will still have to pump the shotgun to prime the first shell
-Air Juggle: explosive AOE that launches enemies into the air, so you and your mission partner can pick them off like clay pigeons
-Nade Launcher: fire up to three plasma grenades that regenerate after a brief cooldown (track their availability via the display on the side of the shotgun)
Note: This is not Boss’s complete loadout. Additional abilities will be added in a future update!
New Mission - Extermination
Descend down into Eden’s old Teleshift labs. This area’s pretty much abandoned, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
Nah, just joking. We’re aware of an ancient (by technology standards) “Extermination Protocol” set up as a security system. And if I know these older setups, that can only mean one thing: lasers.
You’d better know what to do when you encounter lasers; otherwise, we may need to schedule an early performance review.
To unlock Extermination, you must beat the Vapor Exploit mission again, even if you have completed it before.
New Mission - Thundershock
The good: we’ve unlocked a convenient shortcut across the Eden rooftop.
The bad: this area seems to have taken on the role of a giant lightning rod, as excess energy has reacted with atmospheric solar winds.
The result is a perfect storm of brutal electrical strikes that are deadly to you, but almost seem to supercharge your robot friends. If you see one get hit, make it your top priority to take it out!
To unlock Thundershock, you must beat the Extermination mission.
Note from the devs: these missions are in an incomplete state. Because we are shipping our missions as first playables, they do not have the latest dialogue VO, music cues, narrative items, challenges, or objectives in-game yet.
New Defense - Shield Station
Feeling a bit overwhelmed? Deploy a strategic Shield Station for an instant--albeit temporary-- reprieve. This pop-up barrier protects you and any defenses within it from incoming projectiles for a short period of time.
New Enemy - Teleshifting Mekomo
Eden Corp’s given their favorite katana-wielding synthetic model another software upgrade that’s overridden its prior cloaking ability with Teleshift capabilities. While it’s no longer invisible, that doesn’t mean it’s easier to hit--if anything, it’ll be harder. Stay alert!
New Feature - Multiplayer Leaderboards
Striving for the top spot is no longer a solo sport: co-op teams can now compete for the high score on SyndiK8’s wall of infamy. Player teams are ranked by total score, but also show each player’s individual hero choices and scores."
