Just one day left until potentially any day update release.

QA is hunting down some serious crashes that are not exactly rare. I believe that is our current holdup to getting a date.

Will there be ammo for that?

That depends on how bulky/resistant the Patriarch is, what weapons are most effective on him and if he has a lot more health than Hans.

Hopefully we get this update by the weekend, I'm really looking forward to it :p

I'm hoping that he is the opposite as Hans. More resilient to fire and less to explosives. This way the 50% chance (while only having two bosses) can make for a more interesting Boss fight. For example if everyone is expecting Hans so a couple people switch to MWG's and then the Patriarch comes and throws a wrench in the mix it will add for some extra challenge. This will also bring diversity to the battlefield. At least that's how I see it.


Can't wait for the update.

That's a good idea, and I think that's how TW want it to be, because you can't prepare for them both if they are so different. And besides, the Microwave Gun needs SOMETHING it doesn't destroy easily (Not complaining, I freaking love the thing) :p
