Change Log[]
Patch 4.2.0[]
- Updated the model of the Map Survivors equip as part of the graphical update The Realm Beyond - Part One.
Trivia[]
- During the early months after release, Players frequently joked about the in-game icon for the Map looking a bit like a Burrito.
- This inspired the Developers to name the Survivor's fourth Community Challenge during the 1 Year Anniversary "Stuffed Burrito".
Detective's Hunch[]
- Detective's Hunch
reveals the Auras of nearby Generators , Chests , and Totems after repairing a Generator.
These objects will automatically be added to the Map, even if that Map does not normally have the ability to track them.
