Saber Interactive launched a new patch for Evil Dead: The Game recently. The Hail to the King Update introduced a new support survivor called the Blacksmith, as well as two new weapons that players can use to eliminate the Deadites.

The Blacksmith has arrived in Evil Dead: The Game. He is a tanky support survivor that can forge weapons for his teammates using the scraps he picks up from the field.

Two new weapons have also been introduced in the Hail to the King Update. The first one is the Rapid Fire Crossbow - a new ranged weapon that truly holds up to its name due to its high fire rate.

The second is the Quarterstaff. This is a new melee weapon that also boasts a fast attack speed, perfect for whacking the enemy to death.
