[h1]Some of you expressed much interest into the matter of the equipment available in the game and we thought it appropriate to give you some more information.[/h1]
In this devlog we are going to focus on some of the possibilities to upgrade your equipment in the game. In the completed version of the game you will have many options to enhance your tools and make them work better - right now we are going to show you some ([u]but not all, we're saving some of the surprise for future![/u]) examples.

In Chernobyl Liquidators Simulator you will be able to upgrade your tools in several ways allowing you to optimize a certain aspect of your job as a Liquidator. As you can see on the concept-art above we are working on several types of the upgrades even for a single tool - in this particular case a brush that you will use to clean some of the contaminated and polluted fluids. Different upgrades will allow you to enhance particular aspects of the tool. In case of the left-side upgrade the brush will retain cleanliness for a longer time, while the right one showcases a brush with a better enginge to make your job easier and potentially faster.

All of the upgrades - and we are happy to say that we tried our creativity to come up with several designs and ideas for each of the tool - will in some way alter your gameplay. They might simply make it easier to do your tasks but sometimes they will also allow you to reach new ways of doing different jobs. As you can see we have also made sure to distinguish the upgrades visually and make them all distinct to maintain visual clarity.

Sometimes you will be tempted to go for a particular type of the upgrade to help yourself in a particularly vexing or troublesome situation while at other times you will be hard-pressed to make a right choice when it comes to upgrades - which one will fit your situation the most? Experimenting with them might give you some extra edge in the most difficult situations so don't be shy and try away!
[i]Thank you for your attention and see you in the next dev-log![/i]
Kind regards,
