Update #81: Fear the Tusk

Templar Battleforce · published 8 Mar 2018, 21:11 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

A new deadly breed of xenomorph has been reported spotted in the Cirm Quadrant. Where most xeno of the Carapace line have a short ranged melee attack, the Carapace Tusk is a melee powerhouse. Protected by high Armor and Deflection all Carapace are tanks capable of taking heavy punishment. The Carapace Tusk sports immense cleaning mandibles, capable of cracking open the hardest armor with extremely high Penetration values. Slow them down, bathe them in fire, block them with Overwatch -- just don't let the jaws of the Tusk reach your Templars!

We've also fixed some balancing issues with the standard Carapace line, in which their statistics dropped after level 20.

We've up-balanced the Watchdog Whisper to have +4 Dodge and +4 Parry to justify its Gear Level cost.

Finally, we fixed a bug that was letting Nyra and Luthor's unique relics appear (albiet locked) in the gear selection screens.

v2.6.51 - 3/8/2018


- Added new monster variation the Carapace Tusk: extreme high Penetration melee tank
- Rebalanced high level Carapace which were inexplicably weak
- Improved war gear Watchdog Whisper by +1 Dodge / +1 Parry
- Fixed issue with Nyra and Luthor's unique gear appearing in locked gear list
