Content

• New weapon: Capacitor Rifle!

  • Passively recharges an internal "energy".

  • Higher energy increases rate of fire and damage.

  • Firing depletes energy.

• 8 new modifiers:

  • Spec Ops: Increased precision damage taken

  • Rejuvenation: Shortly after taking damage, your health begins to regenerate

  • Armor Decay: Armor begins to decay a short time after collecting a pickup

  • Frail Fighters: Reduced maximum health

  • Swap Lock: Kills with a weapon prevent it from firing until you get another kill

  • Moon Men: Reduced gravity

  • Shed Skin: Movement speed increases as armor decreases

  • Fleet-Footed: Moving without shooting boosts movement speed until you fire

Balance

• Increased Nailgun base damage 22.0>25.0

• Moved around weapon category Plus-Powers

  • "Medium Range" is now +Ammo Efficiency (was +Rate of Fire)

  • "Rapid Fire" is now +Base Damage (was +Ammo Efficiency)

  • "Projectile" is now +Rate of Fire (was +Base Damage)

  • With these changes, range categories now provide consistency bonuses while style categories provide lethality bonuses.

• Cards now level down when they overwrite a card of the same or higher level

• Bots are a little less good at Contest mode

  • In general they should play high level/rare cards less often and create more interestingly varied hands

• Improved the Plus-Power "Ammo Efficiency" bonus to not be quite so useless

Features

• Replaced card trashing with card selling, available from the shop menu

• Added better iconography to Contest mode card packs

• Split modifier packs into "Basic" and "Advanced"

  • The advanced pack contains high-impact modifiers and is rarersss

• Corrosion is complete! Including new background visuals and modified level geometry.

• When equipping a plus-power weapon, an on-screen descriptor has been added describing the stat changes and unique abilities.

• The Lobby card play hand has been widened and commanded to spread your cards out more evenly.

• Weapons that spawn a "substitute" (such as the mine launcher or bio-blower) now create a "clone" on client machines before the server confirms the substitute's location. This prevents the "flickering"/"sticking" issue caused with non-trivial latency.
