Rogue Company is preparing to release the final update for Year 1. Once that update goes live, it marks the start of Project Saint. This is a new initiative that focuses on new play experiences and quality-of-life improvements.
To get a better context on what Project Saint is all about, it's important to look back into what happened in 2021. In a post, the development team revealed that last year the focus was mainly on introducing new content. That's why there were new Rogues, new maps, new cosmetics, and even new Limited-Time Modes. The team shared that when they looked at the community feedback, there was a strong demand for some quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. The team went on to say that for this year, it's about slowing down on new releases.
Project Saint, according to the team, is planned to be a multi-month effort. So, this isn't going to be a quick-fix initiative but something to work on heavily requested features. These include improvements for Ranked and updates to some of the modes and Rogues.
It’s All About Stealth
As expected, there's some interesting new content arriving with the upcoming update, and one of these is a new rogue. Making her way to the battle zone is the genetic experiment gone rogue named Glimpse. She had stolen cloaking tech and, in the past, used it to escape her creators. Now however she uses it to search for them with the intent of doing to them what they had planned for her.
Here's what players can expect from Glimpse:
- Weapons: Assault Rifles (ARs) and SMGs
- Starting Weapons: Nightshade AR and Knight SMG
- Secondary: P12K Pistol
- Melee: Kukri
- Gadget (New): Pop Smoke Grenade
- A new variant of smoke grenade.
- When thrown, the Pop Smoke Grenade erupts in smoke immediately upon making contact with a surface.
- This is ideal for placing smokescreens quickly and/or in places players normally couldn’t.
- Abilities: Camouflage
- Activate the suit’s camouflage and become much harder to see, for as long as the energy supply lasts.
- Moving faster and/or taking damage makes you easier to see.
- Glimpse’s Camouflage has 3 levels of invisibility based on how fast she moves.
- Passive: Sleight
- Glimpse's genetically engineered senses are dramatically heightened, allowing her to periodically detect enemies around her.
- Perks:
- Nimble Hands
- Hunter
- Padded Steps
- Stalker
- Life Drain
- Tracker Rounds
- New Content
