- Improved the overall accuracy of all arm weapons.
- Adjusted the generation load system so that load now scales more directly with a weapon's overall power.
- Fine-tuned various projectile parameters, including reducing projectile velocity in certain cases.
- Increased the emitter load for standard bullets, making sustained fire easier.
- Reworked laser mechanics by replacing projectile speed with a new "Guaranteed Range" parameter. Within this range, lasers deal full damage. But beyond it, damage decreases linearly with distance.
- Adjusted the behavior of Detonators and Steps to improve responsiveness while preventing excessive acceleration.
- Limited the conditions under which Detonators and Steps provide turn correction, preventing them from activating under certain situations:
　- Race modes
　- Test Mode (on the Circuit)
- Burst projectile homing is now affected by propulsion speed, reducing unintended slowdowns during use.
- Made minor balance adjustments to all thrusters.
- Changed the event order in GP10-1.
- Adjusted the initial NPC spawn locations in GP10-3.
- Added a limit to the number of checkpoints that can be skipped when using LIGHTSTREAK during races.
- As this is a beta build, some UI elements haven't been updated yet.- Fixed an issue where forward-facing Detonators would not correctly synchronize when using Burst projectiles.
- Fixed a bug that could cause Barrel effects to be applied twice under specific conditions.
- Fixed an issue where players using older save data could become unable to purchase a machine during the tutorial in certain situations.
- Fixed a bug where turrets would sometimes fail to properly track opponents at low frame rates.
- Fixed an internal error related to projectile recovery.
- Fixed an issue in online multiplayer where the "Waiting for Host" UI could remain visible for guests for an unintended extended period of time.
- Fixed an issue in online multiplayer where starting a match after certain guests had left could cause incorrect machine references.
