Powerup clarity update
The newer powerup roster has received a full visual pass. Each icon now has its own silhouette, central symbol, and mechanic-specific visual language—so you can tell what you’re grabbing at a glance, even in a crowded wave.
Highlights
- 20 newer powerups now use finished, distinct artwork.
- Survival-critical pickups are easier to recognize: Extra Life keeps its unmistakable life symbol, Nano Patch reads as hull repair, Mercy Protocol signals emergency rescue plus protection, and Magnet stays clearly magnetic.
- Similar effects are easier to separate: Overdrive Core / Jackpot Lens, Slow Time / Chrono Anchor, Shield / Aegis Burst, Extra Life / Mercy Protocol, Rapid Fire / Saw Matrix, Double Shot / Ion Dash, Speed Up / Rail Surge, Pierce / Prism Splitter, Score X2 / Score Fever, Magnet / Nano Patch, Drones / Drone Carousel, Bomb / Pulse Refund, and Orbital Strike / Plasma Lance.
- The finished art is used consistently in gameplay pickups, the HUD, Tactical Draft, loadout, mode briefing, and the Threat Codex list and detail views.
