Patch Update #678 - Released 11th February 2022

 

• A new augment for Firebird added to the Ultra Containers — «Paralyzing mix».

  • [Note] This augment stuns the enemy with critical damage for a short time. Heating power and critical damage are reduced.

• Updated target highlight logic:

  • Red outline — the target is at maximum damage range;

  • Orange outline — the target is at a distance where your damage decreases when distance increase;

  • Yellow outline — the target is further from the optimal distance and will only get minimal damage;

  • Gray outline — the target is protected during respawn and won’t get damage;

  • Bold outline — the turret is reloaded and ready to shoot;

  • Thin outline — the turret is reloading.

  • [Note] We've analyzed your feedback from the last update where we changed the target highlighting and agree that the colour of the outline should show how far the target is and how much of the damage it will get. We tried to keep the recharge state as the thickness of the outline. And again, we are waiting for your feedback!

can't wait to see this going up to 15 minutes lol... but fr that is just way to high. 8 minutes are already too long in my opinion.

Nice, even though I think the OD should be nerfed more.

[LeGurp 62]

Smoky bullet be like a little dove, slowly flying towards the enemy lines ...

[Dopamine 2,161]

I applaud the changes to EMP augments, although do not really understand nerfing thunder even more than it already is.

Most changes seem good. Yet, the benefit of some other changes is yet to be ascertained. Like, why did projectile speeds of so many turrets got reduced/changed all of a sudden? Will it improve gameplay? I hope so.

 

I am afraid it will make it even harder to hit hovering hull for many turrets.

700 to 60! isn't it too slow?

• Equipment change cooldown increased from 8 to 9 minutes.

 

Apart from these , the patch update is a lot better than the recent previous ones.

[Marekos1111 3,091]

I'm happy for nerfing EMP augments, it was nearly impossible to play against them.

Sledgehammer rounds will be even slower and depressing. I would revert aoe damage distribution.

Not a laser cannon anymore.

Also whever you change something, pleese mention its previous value.

[DaringDeer 656]

What is the point of not allowing you to change equipment more frequently?  It takes away a big part of the strategy of the game.  I like to play with a variety of equipment, but if I get into a hard battle, I'm at a disadvantage if I don't enter every battle with paladin and a status effect applying turret.  Against good players, if you need to change your equipment first, you are screwed with these ridiculously long garage cooldowns.  What is the point of striving to build up a strong garage when this limits you so severely?

[Unravel 1,486]

Happy to see the EMP augments being nerfed. Overall, all changes are quite interesting.
