If you’re a fan of Loadout (like myself) you’ll know that there have been a few issues (and wants) within the game that you’d like to see changed and added. Well, the developers at Edge of Reality have listened to the Community and released a storming load of updates for Loadout in Update 2.0.
The full change log is listed below and it’s massive. Loading it up this morning, I instantly gained a whole load of past achievements and went straight into a game of Domination. If you haven’t played Loadout already and you don’t get easily offended then this game is highly recommended for you. You can check out our As We Play and Patch Review for more information.
