Update 0.38 for Ancient Warfare 3 is now available. This patch introduces custom equipment creators that allow players to make their unique items.
Part of the charm of Ancient Warfare 3 is that players can customize almost every aspect of the game. In Update 0.38, custom equipment creators have been added that allow players to make the following types of items:
- Melee weapons
- Ranged weapons
- Shields
- Grenades
- Helmets
- Chest Plates
- Arm/Leg Plates
- Face Equipment
- Middle Equipment (new slot for static equipment which is attached to the body of a unit)
- Backpacks
- Attachments (Sights, barrels, grips, laser/lamps, bayonets)
There are a few things to keep in mind about this new feature. First, items created using the custom equipment creators can be used anywhere in the game - be it custom battles, prefabs, etc.
Second, players do not need to download additional files as everything they need is already available in the battle/prefab/unit file.
And lastly, custom items are protected, meaning that only the owner/creator can modify the equipment, no one else can. However, the creator can opt to upload it on the game’s Steam Workshop page for others to use.
