The game is available at hemf.io for those interested, all in-browser. Haven't had too much external feedback, so if you give it a try, feedback would be welcomed and appreciated :)
New Content
- 2 additional enemy toughness tiers have been added for each enemy type (4 x 4 enemy variations total now)
- 'Surge' mechanic introduction; On a timer, a wave of varying composition, toughness, and volume will spawn in, emphasizing the need for special weaponry utilization and coordination.

Updated Gameplay Mechanics
- Requisition is now more like a currency, where you buy an item and have that item until used (previously it was more of a loadout template, which could be refreshed)
- Inventory management / buying and respawning all happen in the game world now to avoid loading out to a different screen, just to load back in.

Quality of Life Improvements
- Item indicators have been added to the HUD's weapon status section to show which items are loaded as primary chamber, and underbarrel.
- Buy menu reworked
- Hotkeys are re-bindable with a right-click while in-game
- Help text added for all hotkey groups (explain how the items work)

Engine Optimizations
- RAM requirements significantly reduced (though due to new content, Chrome still uses at least 2gb)
- Dead enemies are now 'instanced' to simplify their GPU overhead, which means performance won't dip as much as the operation goes on
