Ripout, the online co-op horror FPS developed by Pet Project Games, got its second major update that players can now download on Steam. The aptly named "Gear Up" update introduces a ton of new content, including a new melee weapon that players can use to slash their enemies to bits.
Lethal Weapon
One of the highlights of the Gear Up update for Ripout is a new melee weapon - the Katana. This thing, according to developer Pet Project Games, is even deadlier than its other melee counterparts. The catch? Enemies that are hit by it are knocked back. This is likely done to prevent players from just spamming the attack button when wielding the Katana.
Suit Up
The Gear Up update also added a couple of new suits to Ripout: Covert Ops and Moth. The Covert Ops Boots, for example, grant players a 30% boost to their stamina and stamina regeneration.
On the other hand, the new Moth Gloves provide a lot of value as it increases the player's sidearm handling speed by 20%. Those who wear these gloves get a 30% pet cooldown reduction as well.
Pet Support Has Arrived
One of the interesting things about Ripout is that players actually utilize a sentient ranged weapon called the "Pet Gun." Players can install various mods on the said weapon that add new effects to make it more effective.
In this patch, players can attach three "Host Connect" mods that apply EMP damage, acid damage, fire damage, or a combination of all three!
