Fargone is a survival game where you explore a world that was destroyed by a nuclear disaster. It features a dynamic faction system that allows you to choose whether to make allies or enemies with the people you come across. Ultimately, your goal is to survive the harsh environment while keeping the undead at bay.
Just recently, developer RedDot Games launched the Trials of the Hollowed Update for Fargone, which introduces new locations, world events, and new quests. The arena has been added as well. This place lets you earn reputation, money, and XP by defeating 10 waves of monsters while defending a base with other people. The arena is the perfect avenue to collect new weapons, especially if you’re able to survive through the more difficult rounds.
After seeing that a lot of people have geared up their characters in Fargone way too quickly than intended, the company has made some changes to make the game a bit more challenging in Trials of the Hollowed Update.
For instance, RedDot Games has introduced weapon jamming - a mechanic that makes your weapon unusable until you fix it. Moreover, the weapons that you find on The Barrens now drop in poor condition, which requires you to use a weapon repair kit if you want to keep using them.
