Coffee Stain Studios vient de sortir un nouveau patch (909 Mo) pour Sanctum ajoutant du contenu gratuit. C'est ainsi que la map « Facility » fait son apparition (image ci-contre) qui possède trois points de spawn et une architecture assez originale, puisqu'elle est coupée en deux parties.

En ce qui concerne les changements apportés par le patch on note un gros effort d'équilibrage, avec notamment les gatling qui voient leurs dommages augmentés, mais également l'ajout de 3 succès, une optimisation de la gestion de la Ram, des changements dans le menu principal, le hud etc. En plus de ça, notons les traditionnelles corrections de bugs.

Comme d'habitude avec Steam, le patch sera effectif au prochain démarrage du jeu.

La liste complète des changements se trouve dans la suite de la nouvelle.
