  New Patrol Equipment Mechanics

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33047641/21208c69bf9f4dde19fd4ed705eb9b93d43b78e2.png This content update makes major changes to the equipment mechanics for Patrol mode. We have decided that the Designer system originally implemented was not diverse enough in terms of build variety and choices. We have replaced this system with an equipment slot upgrade mechanics where each individual equipment slot can upgrade their slot abilites in addition to equiping an item into that slot. These upgrades are dropped randomly in addition to slot equipment. As part of this process we've also removed some frame upgrades that are now equipment slot upgrades. New Content New Patrol Mechanics: Equipment Slot Upgrades Upon review of our patrol mode, we decided to revamp how equipment slots worked. We've removed the Designer bonus that was previous associated with each piece of equipment and replaced this with an equipment slot upgrade that is collected as a standard drop. Each equipment slot can now have an item and an upgrade, collected independently of each other for every slot. New Patrol Frame Upgrades Removed the following frame upgrades: Beam Damage, Beam Range, Beam Chain. These are now equipment slot upgrades. Removed the following frame ugprades: Projectile Damage, Projectile Fire Rate, Projectile Piercing Rounds. These are now equipment slot upgrades. Removed the following frame upgrade: On Weapon ACtivation - Speed Boost. This was made into a frame upgrade. Added the following frame upgrades: Revive once on death, Shields grant temp health on taking damage, Reduce enemy lock range, and general move speed boost. Fixes and Updates In addition to working on new content we've also been polishing up other aspects of the game and removing the inevitable bugs. See our latest update notes for a complete list of changes.

  Patrol mode update!

  https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33047641/af8352134c20e35528235baba8aba1aa33eab54d.png This content update improves our new single player Patrol mode. We've added three new Patrol Targets that are the ultimate focus on each patrol. You will encounter the same boss multiple times throughout a single run as you advance in threat levels. With each fight they will get stronger until you finally defeat it at the High Threat level. New Content New Patrol Targets We've refined how each patrol works, now you will encounter a specific patrol target (boss) multiple times throughout the patrol instead of randomly encountering different bosses. We added three new Patrol Targets with three new difficulty levels for each threat level encounter with that target. If you see a Patrol Target at the end of the low threat level you will know that this is a boss you will encounter at both the mid and high threat levels. As each fight stresses different tactics, you will need to tailor your frame's build with the knowledge that this is the boss you will fight! New Patrol Enemies Charger - a new enemy type that charges at you and attempt to detonate on top of you. New Equipment The Stinger - a fast recharging PPW added for Patrols only. Improved Manufacture Bonus update - consolidated all the manufacturer specific bonuses upgrades to a single frame upgrade that boosts all manufacturer bonuses. Fixes and Updates In addition to working on new content we've also been polishing up other aspects of the game and removing the inevitable bugs. See our latest update notes for a complete list of changes.
