GTFO Patch Notes Rebirth Rundown 5

GTFO Rebirth allows players to inject chemicals into their brain

The latest set of GTFO patch notes for the co-operative survival game are here, and they detail the big new Rundown 5 update – which is titled Rebirth. “Rundowns” are the names used to describe GTFO’s big updates, which can include maps, scenarios, enemies, and other features that totally revamp the gameplay. GTFO Rundown 5: Rebirth has been described by the developer as “the most extensive Rundown as of yet.” Head below to see what it’s all about, including the full GTFO Rundown 5 patch notes.

What’s new in the GTFO Rundown 5 Rebirth update?

GTFO Patch Notes

Previously the Complex where GTFO takes place has been stark, industrial, and even a little militaristic, with a very similar vibe to the upcoming four-player shooter Aliens: Fireteam. However, Rebirth adds “a more floristic touch,” as the team says, with creepy plant life and weird lighting making its way into the Complex.

One of the biggest gameplay additions is called Boosters, which are artifacts players can find in the Complex which give them access to injectibles that shoot chemicals straight into their character’s brain. These Boosters give players enhanced abilities which include improved assault rifle damage and increased hacking speed, and may give them an edge against the game’s many opponents.

Beyond that, the developer teases that previously cleared rooms may no longer be safe to backtrack through, although it’s currently keeping this new threat a secret so be prepared for a nasty surprise.

Rebirth clocks in at around 650MB, and like the rest of the game is currently only available on PC.
