Developer titolovesyou and indie publishing label DreadXP have released the Construction Update for PIGFACE, a free content update that brings new levels and new ways to kill. The fast-paced, classically inspired FPS has earned an Overwhelmingly Positive rating from more than 2,000 player reviews on Steam, and it’s available in Early Access for $13.99 ahead of its 1.0 launch. We gave it an 8/10 in our Early Access review, calling it “a declaration of intent,” and we covered its last big drop, the Penitentiary & Kicking update.
New Levels and a New Enemy
A new story job. Drop in on a jobsite and help jumpstart demolition on the suspicious new antennas appearing around town.
An optional, melee-only level. Drop your guns and survive on melee and environmental kills, like a shove into a sawblade.
A remixed version of Urban Plaza you can take on for extra cash.
A new shielded enemy that takes less melee damage. Hit it with precise shots, or kick it over.
New Weapons and Masks
A Massacre of Refinements
The update also brings a long list of balance changes and fixes. Here are some of the highlights from the full patch notes:
| Payouts | Remix and some optional objective payouts are up, while some story level payouts are down by about 25% to better pace item progression |
| Crafting | The cost of all finite equipment craftables (bear traps, landmines and molotovs) is cut in half, and you now take 4 bear traps into levels instead of 2 |
| Masks | Jack Rabbit, Sloth and Scary Face masks are rebalanced. Scary Face’s damage buff rises from 15% to 20%, but alerted enemies no longer forget you |
| Guns | Pistol ADS speed is doubled, and the M9s are now “Dual M9s” with full-auto fire and a higher fire rate |
| Enemies | New riot shield variants for the Yuppie and Junkie gangs, a chainsaw-wielding Junkie, and better gun handling for less shooting through walls |
| Extras | Single-use ammo boxes, new Yuppie voice lines, and collectibles like a “funi raccoon plush” that now show up in your Apartment |
In the update post, the solo developer explained that the gap since the last major update came down to a big move and a few weeks off to recover from burnout. You can read the full patch notes on Steam.
