Animal Crossing: New Horizons has an exciting 3.0 update, packed with new features that make gameplay even more enjoyable. Let’s dive into what’s new and noteworthy!
A New Way to Move
In this update, pressing the L button makes your character hop and move tile by tile in any direction. It’s a neat trick—perfect for placing items or getting the right angle while hitting rocks. If you bump into an obstacle, your character will let out a sad noise, reminding you to plan your moves better.
Crafting Made Easy
Now, you can craft and cook using items stored in your home. This was a surprise addition, not mentioned earlier. When you initiate crafting, any materials in your pockets are used first. You don’t even need to have your crafting station at home, but you must be on your island to make it work. This change really streamlines the crafting process!
Special Items from Pocket Camp
If you missed out on Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, you can now get some exclusive items through Nook Shopping. These include fun decorations like the Pocket Camp phone case or the brake tapper. It’s a nostalgic touch for long-time fans.
New Uses for the Pier
Previously, players could place items on the pier, but now there’s more purpose. Thanks to the DIY Requests donation box, you can set up crafting stations right on the pier. It’s a practical way to stay organized while fulfilling DIY requests.
Extra Surprises
Here are some other cool updates from the 3.0 patch:
- Guaranteed Pearls: The first time you give Pascal a scallop each day, he’ll give you a pearl.
- Sell Seasonal Items: You can now sell seasonal items, like snowflakes, at Nook’s Cranny.
- Bulk Purchases: Purchase up to 50 Customization Kits at once.
- Island Flags and Tunes: Changing your island flag or tune is now easier, with options to revert to original designs.
- Weed Removal Reform: Leif can now be asked to remove weeds when there are 30 or more on your island, and the cost has been reduced.
User Reactions
Many players have taken to social media to express their excitement over these changes. Twitter is buzzing with creative ideas for item placements and crafting strategies. It seems like this update has definitely added fresh energy to the game!
These updates not only enhance gameplay but also offer more avenues for creativity and fun. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, there’s plenty to explore and enjoy in this vibrant world. If you want to read more about the latest updates, check out IGN’s coverage.
