Had to take a break for personal life reasons. Now back into it!

I'd really like to launch this update this month. For that to happen, we'll need a lot of testing!

I'm already planning one more testing branch update this week, to do some small fixes I'm seeing in the Discord deathroad-test-branch channel. As always, the more feedback we get, the sooner I can launch this.


TO ACCESS THE TESTING BRANCH:
  • Right Click "Death Road to Canada" in your Steam Library
  • Go to Properties
  • Click on the Betas tab on the left of the Properties window
  • Click on the dropdown in the top right, and change the Beta Participation branch from "None" to "beta - TESTBRANCH"
    If you want to communicate with us directly or want every bit of testing branch news, head to the Official Discord ( #deathroad-test-branch channel ) or post here!

    Current List of Changes:




      New Rare Characters


      Brick the Pukeymon Trainer, Carter the Cartographer, Johnny the Soldier, Arq the Programmer

    • Brick is a recruit in trader camps where you can buy Pukeyballs from him and/or recruit him, he has a special Pukeymon that follows him in missions that gradually evolves and gets more powerful
    • Carter is a trader camp recruit, you can buy a map from her that will act as a free reroll for any ABL event. Recruiting her yields the Explorer and Pathfinder perks alongside the City Seeker trait
