Overview:

Available to all Core Keeper players on console and PC, the Bags & Blasts update introduces a brand-new area to explore, an explosive new skill tree to max out, game-changing quality-of-life improvements and one of Core Keeper’s biggest boss fights yet: Nimruza, Queen of the Burrowed Sands.

Discover the sun-drenched sands of the Oasis, a brand-new sub-biome located within The Desert of Beginnings that’s home to the adorable Drohmble, a camel-like creature that wanders these bountiful plains. Be sure to ranch these adorable creatures to uncover a valuable (but stinky) resource useful for crafting new mid-late game weaponry.

Prepare for a monumental fight against Nimruza, Queen of the Burrowed Sands, a gigantic super cicada who makes for a royal challenge in one of Core Keeper’s biggest boss fights yet. Discover the new Explosives skill tree, complete with 8 new skills, plus the addition of brand-new bomb types, including the powerful vacuum-creating Void Bomb and the multi-blast Blunder Bomb, and the explosive new grenades weapon type.

Highly-requested by the Core Keeper community, the introduction of Pouches also provides efficient new ways to organise items without taking up an explorer’s valuable inventory space. These handy new items allow players to carry resources such as ore, seeds, fish, and valuables in separate, dedicated spaces, making inventory management easier while on long expeditions away from your base.

The new hotbar swapping feature also allows players to choose which inventory row appears in their hotbar, allowing quicker access to essential equipment, while quick stacking lets players easily sort items into nearby chests.
  
  
• Supersized Boss Fight – Take on Nimruza, Queen of the Burrowed Sands, in this colossal fight against a supersized insect. Tackle Nimruza alone or buddy up with friends online in one of Core Keeper’s biggest boss fights yet.
