Updates
Gadgets now unlock active tiers of gadgets held on mission survival (previously only unlock the next unknown tier). If the tier held is already unlocked the next one is still unlocked as per normal.
Damage type buff update (Flurry, Pressure, Static, Scorch, Crystallize)
Stacks cap reduced to 20 (was 50)
Now grant 1% Rending/Concussive/Voltaic/Molten/Glacial damage per stack
Now only send the relevant projectile (Dagger/Pulse/Shock/Ember/IceShard) if you gain a stack while already at max stacks
The intent here is to simplify the default buffs so that I can use them as a pseudo ‘energy/ammo’ for each damage type. Expect these buffs to show up in many more places in the future.
Any gadgets that previously disabled the base damage type buff functionality now just add extra functionality to it:
(Lightning Rod) consumes stacks to send shocks on weapon hits dealt or taken
(Rimeguard) adds damage resistance and consumes stacks to send ice shard on hits taken
This means you are now picking between base damage type damage or the extra perks from the gadget. Builds that prioritize then generation of the buffs can sustain both
(Pulse Gauntlet Gadget) Reworked to use Pressure stacks instead of it’s own ‘ammo’
