Don’t Starve Together has brought in an almost new genre of video games to us and has been an exceptionally awesome experience to play. With a wide number of characters and gameplay mechanics at work, it is a game not for the faint-hearted or the faint-minded. However, recent announcements have brought news as one of the fan-favorite characters in the game, Wolfgang, gets an overhaul in the upcoming Character Refresh.
The upcoming Wolfgang’s character refresh brings in an entirely new gameplay mechanic to the character different from what we have been used to. However, this mechanic makes a lot more sense when looked at from an unbiased, lore-dependant eye. This post will talk about all the new changes that are making their way to the character and how it will affect gameplay, so stick around.
Don’t Starve Together: Wolfgang’s Character Refresh
According to a recent announcement made on their official Steam page, Wolfgang’s Character Refresh will be coming to the game in the coming week, on December 16. And will be bringing in the following changes to the character.
Here are some of the details:
- Instead of being connected to his hunger, Wolfgang’s forms are now controlled by a new Might Meter.
- Filling the Might Meter requires Wolfgang to work out using one of his new craftable items
- The meter goes down over time and the draining rate is determined by Wolfgang’s Hunger, the hungrier he is, the faster it goes down
- Wolfgang’s linear values are now constants
- Wolfgang freezes and overheats faster when in Wimpy form, but slower while Mighty
- When Mighty Wolfgang can carry heavy items faster
- Does not lose Might while carrying heavy objects
- Wolfgang is a more efficient rower when Mighty
- His speed no longer changes with his forms
- Wolfgang’s hunger and health are now at a maximum of 200 regardless of his form
- Wolfgang now takes a 25% sanity penalty from the dark and from shadow creatures, but if he is in range of other survivors that penalty falls back down to 10%
- Deals more damage when Mighty and less when Wimpy. Also takes extra damage in Wimpy form
- Wolfgang can build a Gym Station structure, which allows him to work out and increase his Mightiness
- Players need to engage in a minigame at the gym and the amount of mightiness gained depends on how well they do at it
- Players can load the gym with different heavy items to change its effectiveness
- Consumes hunger as Wolfgang works out
- Wolfgang can craft a consumable Dumbbell item to restore his Might on the go. It does not consume hunger and can be used as a weapon
Of course with the character refresh we will get a new animated short, Winter’s Feast returns and we’ll also have a new Twitch item, the Topsy-Turvy Treehouse, and adding a bunch of previously released skins to Klei Rewards.
