UPDATE 0.5.4

Steam Patch Notes

v0.5.4

WEAPON PERKS

• New Perks: Cool Offense, Cool Support and Cool Special
  • These perks will reduce skill cooldowns for any currently equipped skills in that particular category
  • The effect stacks if the player is holding both a primary and secondary weapon with the same perk!
  • For now these are exclusive to weapons from the Nazuna Group, although an as-yet unreleased manufacturer may also gain access to them in the future
• New Perk: Zapper
  • Enemies damaged by the weapon will have a chance to chain static damage to other nearby enemies
  • Look for Zheng and Kadru weapons to try out this new form of crowd-control
• New Perk: Megaton
  • This perk increases the blast radius for explosive weapons including Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers
  • It can be found on explosive weapons from the Chatka Collective and AzTek
• Manufacturer Perk Rebalance
  • All of the perks have been adjusted depending on Manufacturer to provide players with unique and strategic options:
  • AzTek weapons have new incendiary potential across the board and other various new perks
  • Chatka weapon libraries now all have the ability to damage Bots and Bugs as intended, while explosives can potentially cover a much larger AOE
  • Kadru drops are now much more chaotic with the ability to roll almost any non-specialty perk, sometimes matching up into highly synergized combos and sometimes…not
  • Nazuna weapon perk libraries have been totally redesigned to help players with a Skill-heavy playstyle (much of their old perk library has been folded into Olorun)
  • Olorun weapon libraries have all gained the potential to improve critical hit chance and have more highly curated and synergized perks on a per-weapon basis (this comes at the cost of ammo-expanding perks of all kinds, which have been removed from the Manufacturer)
  • Wolf weapons that were not previously allowing for Bot Damage or Full Auto are now able to roll those perks as intended
  • Zheng weapons were not able to roll Beast Damage on most weapons but this has now been fixed; their entire family of primary weapons now also has access to Brawler and Zapper to promote their close-quarters playstyle
