Postal 4: No Regerts Thursday Update Now Available

Postal 4 No Regerts Thursday Update

Running With Scissors have announced a new update for chaotic open-world comedy first person shooter Postal 4: No Regerts.

Set several years after the events of Postal 2: Paradise Lost, the Postal Dude and his dog are the only survivors of the devastated town of paradise. After his trailer home is stolen, Postal Dude heads to Edensin to find a new home, and unleash chaos.

The developer admits the new Thursday update, bringing the game to version 0.4, “is less backed than what we normally aim for” with larger updates; and as such may have several regressions and missing features. This includes character models without a functioning dismemberment system.

Nonetheless, the update was released as the developer “wanted to give you something to go along with while we work that stuff out, and we shall be following up with hotfixes and intermediate updates over the coming weeks.”

The update includes four new errands (“containing arguably some of the most interesting ones in the game to date”); including a rigged election, a scooter rally (complete with NPCs that can now ride scooters), fighting out of a burning casino, and testing a VR game. All of these will offer unique ways to tackle the situation to your gain, or just to make everyone else miserable.

The world map also has two new areas; the dark lodge mountain retreat, and the Zag casino. Other areas already in the game are also being improved, along with cinematics. Aim down sights are also implemented for every gun, complete with reticle attachments.

New weapons include the sniper rifle, and a chain sickle dubbed “The Rattler.” New interactables include the rides in Kunny Island, and slot machines in the Zag casino.

You can find the full changelog here, and the new trailer below.

The POSTAL Dude is back!

Several years have passed since the events that devastated the once proud town remembered as Paradise. The only two to walk away from the cataclysm unscathed, the hapless everyman known as the POSTAL Dude and his loyal companion Champ, drive aimlessly through the scorching deserts of Arizona looking for a new place to call home. After a fortuitous gas station rest stop ends with their car, trailer home, and the rest of their worldly possessions stolen, all the Dude’s seemingly got left to his name is his canine cohort and his bathrobe, and neither of them smells all that great. However, on the horizon, the duo glimpses an unfamiliar and dazzling town that beckons to them. What untold prospects lie within? Fame? Fortune? Maybe a bidet or two? Edensin awaits.

POSTAL 4: No Regerts is a satirical and outrageous comedic open world first person shooter and the long-awaited true sequel to what’s been fondly dubbed as “The Worst Game Ever™”, POSTAL 2! (No third game is known to exist.)
