Gato Salvaje has released The Waylanders July Update which brings in new quests that unlock Pets for Rangers. The update also adds five new mini-quests that are obtained from NPC’s, unlocking lore and granting players other rewards for the quest completion.
With the new update, you can now add panther, wolf, boar, and spider to your roster of fuzzy companions and also be introduced to a special quest leading to the most dangerous animal of all, The Rabbit.
Check out the Rangers Pet in the trailer below:
The update also brings some improvements to gameplay, with improved camera behavior helps prevent the camera from getting stuck or the player’s viewpoint blocked by map obstacles. The dev team has also added more tips in the tutorial to make it better, which new players will be able to find in the first mission of the game. Enemy distribution has also been changed which is to better reflect the difficulty levels added that were added in last month’s update.
After you chose your advanced class in Ranger, you will gain access to a variety of new animal pets including two dragon types, a dog, a raven, and a magpie. It is only in the second act that the game will get the quest to unlock the deep companion.
The Waylanders July update is available in Steam Early Access on both Steam and Games in Development players on GOG.
Below is the full list of changes that in available in The Waylanders Update:
- Advanced Class Sneak Peek – Ranger Classes: As players progress deeper into The Waylanders, Advanced Classes will become available depending on the player’s class. While Advanced Classes aren’t playable in Early Access, here’s a quick sneak peek at a few of the upgrade paths Rangers will get at launch:
- Hunter: A reckless ranger who favors heavy point blank projectiles. The Hunter class combines aspects of the Ranger class with fighter (Warrior and Guardian) abilities, allowing for close quarters combat.
- Draconic Master: A magical ranger whose connection to the draconic beasts allows the ranger to tame or become one with them. This class gives rangers abilities inspired by the sages (Sorcerers and Healers) and unlocks dragon pets.
- Saboteur: A tactical ranger who creates traps and other mischievous entanglements that hinder enemies, giving time to set the perfect shot. The Saboteur takes Rogue tricks and mixes them together with powerful ranged attacks.
We got to preview the game last year, where we talked about the potential of the game even with all the problems we ran into during the gameplay. The game is still in Early Access but has come a long way with its updates and new content
