Wasteland 2: Director's Cut

The graphics have been improved and the game engine has been updated to Unity 5. This affects character models and environment art. New visual effects for fire and explosions have also been added. With Unity 5's physically-based rendering system, lighting conditions are more realistic. Voice-overs have been expanded with new voices. For gameplay mechanics, a precision strike system has been added, which allows players to target individual body parts with negative status effects.

A new perk system has been introduced, where players receive a perk point for every four character levels. The available perks depend on the character's skills. During character generation, a quirk can be chosen, a specific personality trait that is permanent. Gameplay mechanics have also been rebalanced for weapon statistics, container locations, content scenes, merchant inventories, loot drops and more.

Changes during combat include new enemy placement rules, numbers and cover positions. New weapons have been added to the game, found in hidden containers or carried by NPCs. The armour system has been updated to make heavy armour conductive, which affects the use of energy weapons.
