You can unlock additional cosmetics to further customize your character.The updated player character avatars have loads of new animations to go with them. Just about every interaction has been updated, as players now use their visible hands to complete tasks like taking EMF readings, opening the Journal, lighting Firelights with Igniters, and much more. More dynamic and realistic movements overall, which means no more bendy backs and other similar animations you could previously perform with the old player character models. New death and revival animations to accompany the fresh avatars. The Journal is now an actual item you use rather than just a UI feature. It doesn't take up any slot space like equipment, but anytime you use it, you'll see your visible hands holding it rather than it just opening up as a separate UI screen. All players now have a watch strapped to their left wrist. This handy tool can be used to monitor sanity levels, keep track of the elapsed time in each round, and check whether or not your microphone is active.Flashlights are now held in the left hand.Doors now have physics, which means they'll keep moving whenever you let them go.

If you're looking for some tasks to focus on while you do so, consider working on finishing the weekly challenge, capturing unique evidence, completing hidden achievements, and using the Music Box.
