Friday the 13th game unlocks all perks, puts all players at max level

The Game of Friday 13th will be pulled from sale at the end of 2023, as publisher Gun Media’s license for the venerable slasher movie series is set to expire. But — beyond an already-announced price cut — the developers have a treat in store for their remaining players, starting Thursday: Everybody gets everything.

Developers announced on Twitter that all players of the asymmetrical multiplayer game — which pits slasher Jason against a pack of teenage prey — would be boosted to level 150 and awarded 30 of the most popular legendary perks, with no negative effects, set to the best roll possible. All kills except DLC and challenge skulls are also unlocked. There’ll be no XP any more — because there’s no need for it.

Gun Media said the changes were being made “to help reduce the dependence on database servers,” but that matchmaking functionality would be unaffected.

Putting all players at the same level and awarding them the same stuff certainly gives the game’s operator a lot less info to track. This puts the players in a very interesting position. Many may believe that there is nothing more to achieve now. Others might argue that, with the game’s days numbered, it’s fair to give the whole community a taste of everything The Friday 13thIt’s a great way to experience all that the game has to offer, without having it be a grind. It should also make matchmaking much easier as the game’s community inevitably shrinks.

It’s not that simple The Friday 13th will disappear as soon as it’s removed from sale on December 31. Gun Media saysIt will function at least for another year. Gun has also announced that it will adapt another core text of the slasher genre: its Texas Chainsaw MassacreRelease date is August 18, 2018.
