Update 4.5 - Phantom of Elites (New Enemies, LCK, Balance Update)

Hello Soldiers, we have a new patch today with two main new features of Elite Enemies and the LCK Camera (LIV Creator Kit), big improvements to loading jitters, as well as some balance, tweaks, and optimizations.

Elite Enemies

Obisidian soldiers can now spawn with one of a variety of special passive abilities (counter-shot, respawn on death, siphon health from allies, etc). The new ‘Captain’ type enemy will always have an ability, and other enemies may also rarely get these bonuses too.

LCK Camera

The new LCK camera can be found on the loadout table or toggled in the XR settings menu. This lets you record easily in-game footage from a variety of camera angles, including microphone input, and vertical orientation.

Loading Jitter Optimizations

Lots of the jittery loading during killing enemies and looting at the start of a stage has been improved significantly. Enjoy!

And as always, reach out to us through the Steam forums, Discord or Reddit with feedback or suggestions!
