Vigor Chronicles: Perseverance Tells The Story Of 16-Year-Old Survivor Freyja

Bohemia Interactive's Vigor has gone live with its latest story-based chapter, Vigor Chronicles: Perseverance. Like the first Chronicles chapter, Vengeance, Perseverance gives players a deeper look at one of the game's characters, Freyja, a 16-year-old girl whose life is a "story of hardships, heritage, and hope." Details of her struggle can be found in the world on a series of 10 cassette tapes -- the game does take place in the '90s, after all -- which can now be found as loot in POIs.

Kjerstien, introduced as a shootout map in the previous update, is now a full-fledged encounter map. Its signature feature is a giant dam that houses tunnels players can crawl through for some claustrophobic encounters, as well as being the perfect place to set traps, like the new monkey-cymbal-toy improvised mine.

As you might guess from Freyja's name, and the trailer below, the new content brings with it a Viking theme, with suitable cosmetics to be unlocked via the battle pass. Fur-lined vests and horned helmets aren't all you can earn via the pass -- the legendary Remy M870 Special Issue shotgun is also up for grabs. Imagine if the Vikings had some of those to bring on their raids.
