Unlock New Gear and Power

Defeating AXL unlocks a plethora of new possibilities. Players can forge a newly designed tarantula armor set and gain access to the powerful Tarantula Bow and Spear. Additionally, players can enhance their bases with unique decorations that echo the eight-legged theme—everything from larger-capacity storage chests to atmospheric flickering candles, ensuring that players can showcase their accomplishments in style. With items such as a throne that even Yoked Girth would admire, the personalization options are extensive.

Enhanced Building Mechanics and Additional Features

This update also revamps the building system, making it significantly easier for players to snap objects and materials into place with precision. A complete overhaul of the construction radial improves the overall user experience.

For players who enjoy roaming on insects, the ability to utilize the PEEP. R feature and the Hot Pouch without dismounting is a welcomed addition. Additionally, the introduction of a Praying Mantis armor set adds a unique plague-doctor aesthetic for those looking to enhance their offensive capabilities.

Embracing the Halloween Spirit

With October underway, Obsidian Entertainment has infused the game with a festive Halloween theme. Players can expect a spooky ambiance throughout the park, resource replacements such as candy corn, and festive Trick-or-Treatery Buildings to explore.

Performance Improvements and Patch Notes

Alongside new content, the Hairy and Scary update includes a variety of performance enhancements and bug fixes. Adjustments to critical hit multipliers, stunning effects, parries, armor set bonuses, and mutations enrich gameplay further. Players can find the comprehensive patch notes for this update here.
