First, a huge thank you to everyone jumping into the Endless update, the leaderboards are looking great!
While these balance changes make Endless mode significantly harder, we’ve adjusted scoring to keep the competition fair: reaching Room 75 now awards roughly the same score that Room 500 used to.
Endless Changes
Enemy spawning speed now scales with endless rooms
Enemy budget (how many enemies) now scales more linearly in endless (before when endless start a big chunk of budget was added and it capped after a few rooms, now linearly increases with diminishing increase per room)
Increased enemy damage scaling per room from 2% to 5%
Increased enemy health scaling per room from 5% to 12%
Added enemy flat +8 health scaling per endless room, applied before % scaling.
Added additional 10% health scaling to bosses per endless room
Enemies now get 1% movement speed, knockback and hitslow resistance per endless room
Enemies now get 3% accuracy and aiming speed per endless room
Healing & Shield gain is reduced by 2% per endless room (exponential decay)
Pickup chance (health, shield and grenade drops), now drop less based on endless rooms
Now has a small chance to drop an extra meta-charm for each 30 rooms completed (max 1 per rarity)
Balance
Reduced ‘Sprint to Damage’ skill’s maximum from 20% per point to 8% per point.
Conserving Magazine reworked: 'Each missed shot has 50%' -> 'Each shot has 10%' chance to make your next shot not consume ammo. This skill was otherwise broken with shotguns (each projectile could count as 'missed').
Made Blade Drone slightly faster
Reduced Jetpacker base health from 820 -> 760
Acid Tier 3 spawns acid pools on enemy death instead of on stack apply now.
Bosses now drop maximum 50 shield per health-segment (mainly impacts endless)
