Today, there is a new monster in Evolve – and it is free for absolutely all players: the Meteor Goliath!
The Evolution of Monsters
As a special bonus, the developers have prepared a very special gem for all players of Evolve this week: There is a free monster! The Meteor Goliath is similar in its basic features to the original variant but has a whole range of changes that give it a new gameplay feel. Let’s take a look at the modifications that the Meteor Goliath brings:
- The Meteor Goliath emits permanent blue flames around it that damage all targets – merely being in its vicinity is already dangerous. Upon request, the flames can be disabled by the monster player switching to stealth mode to hide or ambush individual hunters.
- The thrown stone from Rock Throw flies significantly faster, giving the hunters hardly any chance to dodge in time. It is also enveloped in bluish flames that leave a small DoT on hit targets.
- The range of Leap Smash has been drastically increased. This allows it to strike unsuspecting hunters from very great distances – like a meteor, which is what gave this Goliath its name. To compensate for this, the cooldown has been noticeably increased.
The Fire Breath has a significantly higher range and its strong, blue glow can blind many enemies. As expected, the damage from the ability also leaves the “blue flames” debuff on enemies that continues to cause damage for several seconds.
The Meteor Goliath is the first “adaptation” from Evolve – an adjustment of the monsters to better face the realities of nature (or the hunters). Although no further adaptations have been announced yet, this will meet the community’s cry for new content – because free is always good, right?
Anyone wanting to see the new monster should download Evolve now – it can be tried for free this weekend.
