The Forever Winter, my favourite extraction shooter, just overhauled its most contentious feature for the second time: 'It was a hell of a rollercoaster to make the adjustment'

The Forever Winter—the brutal early access extraction shooter that pits puny scavengers against armies of androids and building-sized mechs—has just released a huge change to its important but contentious water system.

OK, here's the skinny: The Forever Winter tasks you and your squad of fellow scavengers with sneaking through the battlefields of a ruined future Earth, trying to pick up anything you can sell while avoiding being caught by the terrifying armies still duking it out over this husk. And in this grim world, water is worth more than gold.
