STOCKHOLM, April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Roboquest, the critically acclaimed fast-paced FPS game from RyseUp Studios that has captured the hearts of gamers worldwide, is proud to announce its first major content update since its release in November 2023. Boasting an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, Roboquest continues to enchant its growing fanbase with its intense gameplay and gripping action. The highly awaited Arsenal Update is out now, across multiple platforms including Steam, Xbox, Epic, and GOG.

The Arsenal Update introduces lots of new features, enhancing the gaming experience for both newcomers and seasoned players alike.

Key Gameplay Additions;

9 New Weapons
Each brings unique strategies and firepower to the battlefield. From the precision of the Shuriken to the explosive force of the Missile Battery, players will have a diverse arsenal at their disposal.

Shooting Range 
Players can explore the all-new Shooting Range, a dedicated area within the Basecamp where they can hone their skills and test their weaponry. By completing the "Burger Bill" quest, players unlock additional elements within the Shooting Range, providing even more opportunities for target practice and experimentation.

New Quest
Players will encounter the NPC, Burger Bill, who finds himself in a precarious situation. By rescuing Burger Bill, players gain access to the full potential of the Shooting Range, further expanding their gameplay experience.

New Shop NPC - Willy Wonder
New Shop NPC within the Basecamp. Players can unlock Willy Wonder through Basecamp Upgrades and utilize his services to add specific affixes to their weapons and upgrade their quality, enhancing their effectiveness in battle.

Summons
Extended build variety by adding the concept of "Summons". This new mechanic adds a new layer to the builds by allowing players to improve and enhance the power of the little bot allies they summon.

Crystal Powder
Players can now also collect Crystal Powder, a new resource obtained by completing corrupted levels, which can be used to upgrade weapon quality from Epic to Fantastic at Willy Wonder's shop. The addition of this resource makes it more interesting to come back to corrupted levels, effectively changing the routes players take every run.

New QOL Options and Fixes:
Additionally, the Arsenal Update brings several quality-of-life improvements and fixes, including an overlay displaying all weapon stats in Max's Museum, HUD elements for enhanced gameplay visibility, and options for players to customize their controls to their preference.

With 10 new affixes for weapons, 7 new items, and enhanced level variation for Haven City and The Moon, the Arsenal Update is set to deliver even more excitement and replayability to the Roboquest experience!
