Jagged Alliance 3 - Patch 1.3 "Vicky"

Patch 1.3.0 Released – Vicky

Hello everyone,

Patch 1.3.0 codename “Vicky” just went live on Steam. It contains one highly anticipated new feature and a bunch of smaller fixes.

Highlight

Bobby Ray’s Guns and Things is now able to process orders to the country of Grand Chien. Customers can now access www.bobbyraysgunsandthings.net online store through their PDA browser. There you can check out our wide selection of “guns and things” that you can order and get delivered to certain locations in the Adjani Valley. 

• One day after the players capture Ernie village, they will have the online store unlock.
• The store offers a range of new and used items like weapons, armor, ammo, etc.
• The available store inventory restocks every 10 days
• Be fast, others might want the item you’ve set your eyes upon! We ship all over the world – Arulco is a top customer! What’s here today, might be gone tomorrow.
• The brave delivery guys and gals of Bobby Rays can deliver your order to any port in the western coast of the Adjani Valley that you hold. If you want the premium option, I’ll get them to rush a bit.
• No IOUs! We take the money upfront THEN load up the gear.
• We take no responsibility for your order if any less-than-friendly forces have overrun the delivery location. You pay us to deliver, not fight.
