🍂(Frjádagr) Today we are going to be releasing a new 4.0.2 build to PTU for Evocati only over the weekend while we work on further transit and elevator updates. This initial build will have a new Pyro Event as well as 24+ Issue Council bug fixes to test. Goal is still to have Elevators in a much better state to open further waves.

As far as the voices go, I have a good friend that uses Eleven Labs voices for some of his D&D campaigns and he's very satisfied with the results.

This could make it really easy to scale up a variety of voices across all of the different environments. For example, while the same thing may be said in one hospital vs another, you could have a different voice in every location or even based on day/night cycles.

You wouldn't even be limited to having them say the exact same things, you could script locations to say slightly different things and the model would automatically adjust the voice for that.

Considering the business model of Eleven Labs, I wouldn't expect anything to be made on the fly, this would still just generate a bunch of audio files that they would then incorporate into the game.

Additionally, I've found that Lawful Security forces (like Crusader Security) will also happen to have these attachments in their chest/leg armor storage.

Just be careful about gaining crimestat right now because of the bug making it very difficult to get out of prison. Take down comm arrays first and check often that it's still down.

Edit: Sounds like it's only Crusader Security forces that carry scorched attachments.
