Content

• New weapon: Heavy Handguns

  • Heavy revolvers with a moderate fire rate

  • Alt-fire for a savage burst from both firearms, requiring a short cooldown before firing again.

• All Modifier cards now have unique effects that activate when leveled up ("Plus-Powers')

  • Modifiers that change an attribute generally change it "more" when leveled up

  • Modifiers that apply a unique gameplay twist have a more creative plus-power effect

Balance

• Attempted to improve the Assault Cannon

  • The two projectiles in the burst are now split, one "light" and one "heavy"

    • The "light" projectile loses all the special effects, including causing an explosion and dealing knockback

    • The "heavy" projectile now has a stronger explosion and knockback attached to it

• Replaced the "Ammo Efficiency" Plus-Power stat with "Weapon Handling"

  • Weapon Handling increases swap speed and shortens the lockout after firing a weapon before you can swap from it

Features

• Added a persistent visual effect for allies

• Spawn and melee weapon slots now have Contest cards in the "Basic Pack"

  • The Dual Pistols can be found in this pack as a fragile card, replacing the Handgun

• Improved the flow between Shop and Card pages in the Contest lobby

• Added visual and SFX feedback for selling cards

• Added a persistent player order widget to Contest mode, visible in the shop, card and board tabs that shows what order players will play cards in

• Bots now actually delay readying up instead of faking it

• New card packs:

  • "<Ammo> Plus-Pack": contains a +3 card (four copies) of a random weapon from the category

  • "Vibe" Pack (internal name): Contains 3 cards, randomly chosen from a set of 5 cards that follow a "theme" (shotgun, sniper, bouncy, etc.)
