Natural Selection 2 Build 244: ‘Electric’ Live on Steam

Posted by 7 years ago

On February 28th, Natural Selection 2 Build 240: ‘Gorgeous’ was released. This free DLC added a boatload of new stuff to the game. Unknown Worlds is going to continue working on updates like Gorgeous, to consistently improve your Natural Selection 2 experience. Today, the second DLC update was released – Build 244: ‘Electric.’

Electric follows in the footsteps of Gorgeous, adding new content and improving on what is in the game already. For example, the new Stun Gun allows you to disable your fellow marines when they piss you off. The new Gardening system will allow those seeking a more relaxed gaming experience to enjoy Natural Selection 2.

Balance is a particular focus for Electric: We have carefully listened to your feedback and determined that balance would be significantly improved if you could all kill each other faster. Hence, the 33% increase in damage by all weapons and abilities.

There are lots and lots of other change, additions, bugfixes and improvements in Electric. Check out the change log below to learn about all of them:
