VersionWhat we know
Planned
  • Idea for another legendary glider that lets a rider float down with the horse. Unconfirmed
  • Pressing S while gliding makes you crash; a developer plans to redo the glider controls.
Dev build
  • If a glider breaks midair, descent becomes fast but not lethal; it cannot be redeployed once broken.
  • Glider available in Tier 3; used to glide from high ground.
  • A tester built a ranch on a mountaintop and used a glider to reach an outpost, so the wilderness bonus may be exploitable.
  • A glider exists and shows control hints when used.
Alpha 4
  • Glider recipes come in qualities; the Elite Glider travels much farther.
  • An uncommon Elite Glider is faster than a horse for travel.
  • Glider pitch: W dives and speeds up, S pulls up.
  • Gliders can be damaged or broken and need repair.
  • A crafted glider can be dropped for another player to pick up. Unconfirmed
  • Glider flight distance is tracked in stats for a possible leaderboard. Unconfirmed
March alpha
  • Comes in three levels: Makeshift, Sturdy and Master. Jump, then hold Space to deploy.
