Sector 1: Dreadshore Expansion Arriving Tomorrow
The highly anticipated major content update for Meet Your Maker, called Sector 1: Dreadshore, is set to launch tomorrow. This expansion offers players exciting new tools to unleash their brutal creativity. Meet Your Maker is a first-person building game that allows players to construct deadly fortresses using traps, guards, and more. They can also raid fortresses built by others in a post-apocalyptic test of skill and wits. Let’s dive into what players can expect from the foggy dusk of the Dreadshore.
Introducing Sectors
Sectors, the new major DLC for Meet Your Maker, bring thrilling gameplay updates through a narrative. Creative Director Ash Pannell explains, “We’re using Sectors to deliver large gameplay updates while expanding the story of Meet Your Maker.” Sector 1: Dreadshore introduces a new environment and a themed Deco Pack, which are both accessible and free for all players. Additionally, an Arsenal Pack will be available, providing a combination of key gameplay elements such as traps, Custodians, guards, and weapons. Players looking to expand their builds further can purchase an additional Cosmetic Collection featuring new Deco Pack and skins. To celebrate the release of Sector 1, players can claim the Arsenal Pack for free from tomorrow until July 10, granting them access to all the brand-new tools.
Into the Dark and Mysterious Dreadshore
The new setting of Dreadshore takes players far from the arid Red Sands, immersing them into an entirely different environment. Narrative Designer Joe Dermo explains, “Dreadshore offers a unique atmosphere distinct from the Red Sands we’re accustomed to. It feels like stepping into a different world and highlights the uniqueness remaining in various parts of Earth even after the apocalyptic event.”
Dreadshore is the site of an abandoned Sanctuary located beneath a lighthouse. Dermo adds, “Within the Sanctuary, cruel experiments were conducted on constantly cloned Advisors. One person managed to escape, defeating the out-of-control Custodian and Chimera along the way. The new blocks and Deco Packs showcase the lighthouse and the larger environment that stood over this ill-fated Sanctuary.”
The Vicious Tools of the Arsenal Pack
The Arsenal Pack is a crucial component of the Sector 1: Dreadshore release. It introduces a range of deadly new tools with their own connections to the history of the Dreadshore.
New Custodian: Nautilus
The Nautilus represents the sole survivor of the Dreadshore Sanctuary. This character crafted a suit in secret to enhance their defensive abilities and make an escape. Pannell explains, “Nautilus excels in defensive weapon capabilities, with all three perks significantly boosting the Arc Barrier’s power. It’s a perfect choice for players who favor a defensive playstyle.”
New Trap: Sentry Beam
The Sentry Beam, used by the Dreadshore Sanctuary, unleashes a lethal beam of heated light to obliterate Raiders. Dermo points out, “It’s a menacing device that follows its target’s movement with its red eye, releasing a laser that bounces off surfaces.” Pannell adds, “With its unpredictable ricochets, the Sentry Beam introduces a fresh element of chaos, breaking away from repetitive patterns and bringing a sense of randomness to gameplay.”
New Guard: Ravager
The lighthouse Sanctuary required a deterrent to maintain a large prisoner population, resulting in the Ravager. Dermo explains, “The Ravager is an unintended outcome of a Dreadshore experiment, with its vision issues oddly corrected. It perceives multiple targets where there’s only one and simultaneously fires a bolt at each, producing a lethal scattershot effect.” Pannell further clarifies, “The Ravager disrupts typical strategies with its horizontal field of fire, making it challenging to evade. When combined with other guards and traps, players must adjust their playstyles accordingly.”
New Weapon: Demolition Cannon
The Demolition Cannon, a grenade launcher with a reusable shell, was initially developed for war. As global unrest escalated, it transitioned into a crowd control weapon. Dermo states, “Dreadshore stocked these weapons as a last resort in case of a prisoner revolt.” Each gameplay element in Meet Your Maker tells a story, and with these new tools, players can craft their own gruesome tales. The developers are eager to see the incredible creations players will unleash with the expansion.
To conclude, the Sector 1: Dreadshore expansion for Meet Your Maker releases tomorrow. Players can expect a new environment, free Deco Pack, and exciting gameplay updates. Prepare to dive into the mysterious Dreadshore and utilize deadly tools from the Arsenal Pack. Claim your free Arsenal Pack until July 10 and witness the unfolding narrative of Meet Your Maker. And as for the next Sector, Dermo provides a hint with a teasing “Brrr!”
