Star Citizen patch 3.16 is now available to all players on Live servers.
For information, there is no complete “wipe” following this patch, ie players should keep their reputation, their UECs and their in-game purchases.
The main new features / improvements in this patch are:
Jumptown 2.0
Jumptown is back in this patch 3.16 as a dynamic event: across Stanton are hidden 3 laboratories where you can choose to make a fortune or defend the interests of the UEE. We will detail everything there is to know about this event in a dedicated article.
After New Babbage and Orison, It’s the turn of Area18, the landing zone of the planet ArcCorp, to welcome its hospital with its own unique look.
Cutlass Steel
A new twist on Drake’s well-known Cutlass makes its debut in the ‘Verse. Say goodbye to its cargo space, you’ll find 18 seats for your team and Gatling guns mounted on either side of the ship. A new variant tailored to perfection for events like Jumptown 2.0.
The rework of Gravlev vehicles
So far, the experience of traveling with these vehicles has not been very satisfactory. It’s now a whole different system that takes place in this patch with a complete rework of how these vehicles behave. It can be noted that now the pilot can control the altitude of the vehicle to a certain extent, the ground / air transitions are smoother and these same vehicles can move much faster.
Atmospheric bounty hunts
New Bounty Hunt missions are available across Stanton, including microTech and ArcCorp. Among these new missions, some will require you to neutralize your targets in the very atmosphere of the planets in the system.
Updating the map “Dying Star“
The Commander Dying Star Arena mode map has been updated for patch 3.16: updated visuals, an expanded play area and new concealment points have been incorporated.
