LAST UPDATE: 12:55AM PST, July 13, 2023

• Fixes a bug causing the wrong dialog to display on one of the NPCs in the Resistance episode.

From January 8-13 2022

• Various minor changes to the Space Gladiators episode, including: two new quests that unlock later in the campaign, more money stacks that appear later in the campaign, and rebalancing of several of the later maps. Also, some general balance changes for the Good Day to Die difficulty to make the campaign playable on that difficulty.
• Some bugfixes for the Space Gladiators episode. No more mishaps with flag pickups such as sideguns or civilians picking up flags. Fixed issue with final boss and his hand rockets staying white. Also fixed issue where ending cutscene could be accidentally skipped, and ending credits could not be skipped.
• Flying Imperial coins (money) will no longer break vending machines and other breakable wall textures
• Improved hit detection and damage calculation on Wes’ ice bombs; they are more effective now and won’t explode as close to the player when thrown at cracks
• Reduced coin drops from high level monsters, reducing the pinata effect in endgame, but still giving the player enough money
• Fixed a bug in which an object being destroyed while being held by the player would cause a glitched player state
• Fixed bug where the EDF radio icon status would not display when melee weapons are held
• Fixed bug where buying the Executioner weapon and then switching between characters could lead to the weapon being missing from the loadout until it was re-selected from the vendor menu
• Fixed bug where allied blood zombies would sometimes moonwalk
• Fixed a bug where it was possible to cause the pistol to fire at a glitched high rate when suddenly switching from sword to pistol
• The radiation explosion from Wes’ radiation arrows will now always spawn regardless of whether the arrow hits a live target or not. Also, the projectiles from the explosion are now correctly attributed to the player, so they will do full damage to enemies and receive level bonuses from the bow and the player. They can also hurt the player but this can be nullified with the no-friendly-fire perk
• Fixed bug where Cyclodius Maximus boss could stay white after rising from his regeneration state

From January 5th

• Made Cheerbot much more likely to retaliate after being hit. Also, once she reaches 1/3 health she cannot be stunned.
• Fixed bug where Cyclodius Maximus boss could stay white after rising from shielded state

From January 3

• Fixed bug where player could become non-targetable after a sliding kick.
• The AI partners will no longer be able to block the player, ever. Likewise for the EDF soldiers.
• Fixed longstanding bug where switching to commander gun or alien pistol would sometimes play the normal pistol selection sound.
• Due to performance issues, replaced Beach CBP map with Iggy’s Moonbase map as a final attrition map (but Beach CBP is still a random map).
• Added Memory of The Waters by DannyFromNewOrleans as a random.
• Idle animations won’t play when hammering end of level nuke button.
• I-frame upgrades will now get much more expensive, although they still start cheap. Prior to this, it was possible to become practically invincible by purchasing a lot of these upgrades.
• Improved collision handling on Army Ants.
• Companions will no longer keep attacking a target after it has changed alliance (happened with BFF babifier perk).
• Pistols will no longer play their reloading animation if there are no bullets to reload.

From December 30th

• Fixed issue where energy shields would not take extra damage from armor piercing rounds
• Improved companion bot handling of certain collision situations. Now they are more likely to jump over sprite fences and similar obstacles and less likely to spaz out and get stuck
• Fixed issue where bot companion could get negative HP when shrunk, then still have negative HP after unshrinking
• Fixed bug that was preventing small holoduke drops from raising holoduke amount above 15%
• Adjusted Wes bot sword attack so that he continues to move forward during the second swing, making it more likely it will hit

From December 29th

• More adjustments to difficulty settings. Now it is all documented in the AA quick-ref google doc: Docs.google.com
• Some dead slimed civilian sprites had their hitscan bit off by default -- fixed
• An enemy's level cannot be lower than 1/2 of the player's level
• Fixed issue with the stomp damage caused by the Canhead robot boss. Before it was a hitradius, which could hurt its allies and its own sideguns or shields. Now the damage will be confined to its enemies and un-allied creatures and objects. It will no longer be able to destroy cracked walls, either.
• Adjusted formula for how often mini-boss enemies can randomly spawn to replace normal enemies: Now it will depend on the difficulty setting, in addition to a check on how much equipment/health you have
• Shooting an enemy's shield will automatically make you the target of that enemy if it has none – this should fix issue where some shielded enemies would fail to attack

From December 26th

• face-hugging slimers are now *reliably* destroyed by all kicking actions, including sliding kicks, karate-style sidekicks etc.
• Reduced quicker kicks price from $8000 to $6000
• Improvements to “darkness” enemy trait: now you can hit them in their shadow form if your goggles are on; also they will resume normal form more quickly if you are close to them
• Varanors (lizard dogs) should no longer spawn in space sectors or in other out of bounds areas
• Addresses bug that could cause the bow to fire single shotgun pellets directly after switching from character who was holding a shotgun
• shrinker ammo now also gives small amounts of expander ammo, making the expander more viable
• Enemies with shock aura will no longer send retaliation bolts when taking damage over time due to stuck arrows, burning or radiation
• Rare instances of battlelords dropping dead for no reason should now be fixed
• Addressed bug where some enemies could be exploited for weapon XP while they were invulnerable, because they would process the damage for XP purposes before nullifying it
• Addresses issue where Deanova/Assassin could get stuck in falling animation because ground is not detected

From December 23

• Added new feature whereby nuke coins dropped by enemies can give you small amounts of ammo, but only if you are very low on ammo.
• Fixed bug where battlelord boss at the end of Episode 1 had the rapid fire perk. He is supposed to have the gigantism perk instead (fixed with included map)
• Big buff to the EDF Rescue perk. Now the rescue team is more powerful, and also they will continue to follow you into new areas, making them more useful for longer.
• Changes to "A Good Day to Die" difficulty -- it is harder now. Also some minor adjustments to "Damn I'm Good" difficulty making it slightly harder.
• Fixed bug where Duke could be heard saying "See you in hell" line even when he is not on the team.

From older December 6 patch:

• Ice bomb upgrades for Wes will now be reduced in price if you have purchased upgrades on the same slot for other characters
• Fixed typo of highest difficulty. It is "A Good Day To Die"
