    The Outpost isn't just a new player-created town; it's also the first peek that players in Fallen Earth will have of Alpha County and how different the landscape there really is. A new development blog has just gone live discussing where the Outpost update is in terms of development, including why it's taken so long to get the update pushed to live. In short? Because during internal testing the area was shooting server stability to pieces, and the team had to step back and fix those issues. While the blog still doesn't offer a definitive date for the update, it does note that the server issues from before have largely been corrected at this point, so players can look forward to testing the content soon. While the team would prefer the update be live already, it won't take long to finish if testing goes well. Read more about the structure of the region itself in the official update.

    The Fallen Earth team is hard at work on the next major update of the game, which will include a player-built town called the Outpost. In a new state of the game post, the devs show off a few of the structures in this town. "Since the plot for the area revolves around the Outsiders and GlobalTech, we wanted to take advantage of those groups' love of technology and give the buildings some high tech pieces as well as keeping the aged pre-fall feel," the devs wrote. The Outpost will be bigger and "more robust" than Citadel and should be hitting the live servers some time in May.

    A free, legitimately useful Far Cry 3 app just washed up on the shores of iOS and Android, allowing violent vacationers an opportunity to monitor their multiplayer progress and customize loadouts when away from the game. The "Far Cry The Outpost" app decodes your in-game encrypted data for immediate rewards through a smartphone or tablet, unlocking weapon mods that can be kept, given away or sold for additional experience points. On top of the decoding stuff, The Outpost also provides a landmark for weapon loadout customization, cataloguing tweaks for the next time you play. Other dedicated sections allow tech-savvy vacationers to keep an eye on their own progress on the daily and weekly challenges lists, plus leaderboards and light map editor tracking.
