Larcenauts is a 6v6 team shooter from Independent developer and publisher, Impulse Gear. It's a first-person affair that allows players to dive into the skin of a "hero" in a similar fashion to Overwatch or Paladins, but all in the glorious immersion of VR!
Larcenauts launched on PC and Oculus back in June of this year and the developers have been incredibly reactive to player comments, criticism and suggestions, implementing many requested changes and improvements over the last few months.
October however, ushers in the release of their first new free content in the form of "The Zarius Heist"
The Zarius Heist update is a new payload-style objective mode, Heist, complete with a brand-new map, Thunderhead.
A map set in a remote citadel sitting high atop the rock spires of Tauron 3; players will work to move an objective through the map against the enemy team. Due to its precipitous heights and diverse layout, Thunderhead is a treacherous map where unexpected fates await amid its grandeur and beauty.
Specialists can expect varied and focused path flow for long-range as well as close-quarters combat. Grapple point placement ensures the action is spread throughout the epic terrain.
Also introduced in The Zarius Heist update is an all-new Specialist, Imperia. A warrior class archer, this alluring and graceful Dynastalker arrives in Larcenauts from the Verdana Cluster galaxy. Imperia is quick to protect her tribe with a steely eye on enemy movement and is always poised for a counterattack or well-placed healing round.
A ranger, she wields the Vipera Strike, a famed and highly coveted bow and arrow weapon. Efficient, precise and calamitous, the Vipera Strike deals damage from a distance via dyna-charged pulse interlaced bolt casters. Adding an array of ancient and seemingly magical powers, this new Specialist is not one to be trifled with.
New hero Imperia’s weapons and abilities:
Vipera Strike – Imperia’s main weapon. An elegant and unique bow & arrow of the Dynastalker warrior class, and serious slinger of searing shaft sleeves.
Parasphere Field – A portable healing device powered by the blood of your enemies. Damage dealt to enemies fills the device, healing allies in the surrounding area when full.
Animax Grenade - Deals damage in an area and spawns soul wisps at each enemy damaged that explode after a short time.
Dyna Burst – Advanced Dynastalker tech enables Imperia to enter an invulnerable state. Rapid healing occurs during this period of invulnerability.
Larcenauts offers full cross-play support across major VR devices and is available now with full cross-play support across Oculus devices including Oculus Quest, Oculus Quest 2, Oculus Rift and Oculus Rift-S (cross-buy supported), as well as SteamVR via the compatible headsets for an MSRP of $29.99.
