Patch 0.80

Intro

If you’ve been eagerly awaiting new toys to play with, or you’re just struggling to get your 1st victory, this update has something for everyone. But first a note on the current roadmap:

There was originally going to be a few more weapons, Symbionics, and utilities in this update. They’re still coming, but I’m going to roll them into the 1.0 update.

In fact, I’ll be rolling all remaining updates into a final 1.0 update. There are no changes in planned content, it will just be easier for me to finish everything at once, instead of in staged releases. And I think it will make for a more exciting 1.0 launch with a lot more new content to discover. There will be a couple beta test updates once most of the final content has been added though, but things will go quiet for the next few weeks.

Finally, Gunlocked 2 now qualifies for Steam Community Items, so this patch brings some extra content in that regard. Trading Card junkies rejoice!

As always, if you're enjoying the game, please leave a review. They'll be even more important as I approach the full 1.0 launch.

And now, without further ado:

Balance

• UI: The utility Afterglow has the correct icon now. Was previously using Firelight’s

• UI: Sure Shot now grants the correct crit chance (was only giving 5% instead of 10%)
