Hello, Animas!
Thank you as always for your feedback and warm support for Gigantes Ex Machina.
Based on your recent feedback, we have improved the auto-targeting system. However, due to changes in its internal implementation, a delay occurred when searching for a new target after defeating a locked-on enemy. As many of you reported this as inconvenient, we have addressed the issue and improved the target acquisition speed once again in this update.
Additionally, a few bug fixes and minor improvements have been applied.
v0.2.1 Patch Notes
System & Accessibility Improvements
Improved the delay that occurred when searching for the next target after defeating an enemy while auto-targeting was active.
The HUD now displays an alert when the player is in a damage-immune state.
Primary Weapon Adjustments
Howitzer
Improved shield deployment speed when using the howitzer, and slightly reduced the gaps within the frontal protection area.
Secondary Weapon Adjustments
Auto Turret
Projectile speed, magazine capacity, and rate of fire have been increased.
New Modules
Added a module that increases the duration of the brief damage immunity granted before and after leveling up.
Special Module
Core Sync Extender
Extends the duration of the brief core protection energy generated during Sync Rate increases.
Sound Effect Improvements
The Assault Rifle firing sound has been replaced with a new one.
BGM Improvements
New background music tracks have been added or replaced in several missions.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where auto-targeting incorrectly aimed at the lower coordinates of enemy turrets, causing shots to hit the ground.
Fixed an issue where certain explosive weapons could penetrate shields from the front. However, attacks from above or wide-area explosions can still exploit shield blind spots.
