Hey Gunbotters!

First of all, thanks for the continued feedback, we really appreciate hearing from all of you - whether it's through reviews, on the forums, or on Discord.

We just wanted to let you know what's currently in the works for Gunbot Diplomacy. There will be a big content patch dropping later this summer, featuring (at least):

• Endless Mode! You've asked for it, and we have been hard at work making it happen.

• The option to 'banish' upgrades from the shop, preventing them from showing up again during the same run. You'll unlock more banishes as more options become available, limiting the randomness of what the shop offers you.

• Another weapon evolve, expanding your build choices.

• The Wrench, a new Construct build support weapon.

• And more...

There will also be a small patch coming soon with some improvements for the Steam Deck experience.

Have a great summer, everyone!

• The upgrade grid can be viewed at any time now - check your build while choosing your next Module, or change the manual targeting settings on your guns mid-combat!
• There is significantly more scrap available in the early game, allowing a wider variety of builds to get off the ground properly.
• The dreaded Dillosaur charge has been changed to give players more time to react.
• Many weapons have been buffed across the board, and some have also had their cost reduced.
• Base pickup range has been increased, and there's a brand new uncommon rarity module that gives even more!
