This week's update adds a batch of 12 back modules across all 4 tiers aiming to round out back part options beyond weaponry. The Meteor Boosters provide high speed forward mobility, the Cooling Fins provide a simple cooling boost and the Guardians provide a full coverage defensive barrier. The boosters should be a helpful tool in completing a melee focused build using ports that previously couldn't provide the required mobility.
A big batch of campaign adjustments are also included in this update. The new brokers provide a way to invest further in your strategy with better access to ammunition and more. Resistance support and caches have also been adjusted to contain both ammunition and field sinterers. The additional field sinterers should help builds that don't rely on ammunition to stay in the fight.
