SYNTHETIK: Legion Rising news & patch notes

Hey everyone! We are very happy to see you hyped for Synthetik 2, don't forget to check out the S2 FAQ where many of your questions have been answered! Today however is the time to get rid of the nasty memory leaks and we added some extras as well; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Essential: Engine Update

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/0a3a18f7b5cdcca6a839f93765988d91fb429b49.png We updated the engine to the new 2.3.2 version which according to QA and the beta testers fixes the nasty engine memory leaks (which are also the cause for the console crashes) and fixes most other crashes but let us know how things work out for you. There are also some other benefits from the new version as quoted below: "...2.3.2 removes a few memory/performance bugs in the IDE, improves the garbage collector for a little more in-game performance and a lot more stability, and also smoothens FPS values when on Windows..." In case of your game just quitting without any error message, this should now be resolved, the same for switch users who just ran out of memory around the third level. Sorry for it taking so long but this was out of our hands as we have no engine source code access.

New: Arena Chest

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/2103874e2c77911ce14118b2d7b8caf0fd7c86dd.png Added new Arena chest to Legion rising which can appear in the first 2 rooms. Can grant any of the gray-tier starting weapons which are unlocked from the arena premium upgrade. While these are clearly inferior to blue weapons, they are still fun for a while!

• Can grant:
• Ump-9
• FMG-9 personal
• Last ditch M16
• M14 Mini
• L21 Lever Action

Requires the arena upgrade or a console version, can not drop when less than 5 bosses are killed total (for new player experience) and does not drop when a wood weapon crate is present.

New: The Synthetik Universe Hub (BETA)

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/2e4f0bc6683a0cf4858a75039775fab17b1ce182.png If you haven't seen it yet, we have opened synthetikuniverse.com our new online hub for the community and news about the Synthetik Universe. The Synthetik Universe community hub is the place for all games from Flow Fire and the community. We have many cool things planned and more content is to come, so stay tuned! The Universe Hub also marks the start of the Synthetik Universe as a shared world with consistent gameplay ruleset, factions and lore between our new games. 2 new Blog entries and the first iteration on the Hub are being worked on and are coming soon!

New: Downloadable Fan Package

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/845f3c4cf39257704de4a343c06df23ca1f5ddcf.png If you haven't seen, we have uploaded a big FAN PACKAGE on synthetikuniverse.com with 4 free old game versions to play (make sure to backup your savefile tho) and many other cool things! The Package is around 1 GB.

• Free old Synthetik development builds, old development trailers and screenshots
• Synthetik Art packs with splash art, unit images, wallpapers and more

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Varied Changes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/0a3a18f7b5cdcca6a839f93765988d91fb429b49.png

• Added a first draft of Hungarian localisation
• Sniper drone now has 2 seconds cooldown as long the player is out-fight
• Capped last defender to give out a max of 60 plating, now also gives 20 instead of 10 in phase 5
• Fixed insanity challenge showing always on end-boss even after having it already
• Fixed P9000 going negative heat when dead
• Fixed item cooldown effects not working properly in certain areas, Zion as example
• Added localisation string to arena upgreade weapons so its clear it's from arena
• Field supply healing does no longer stack
• Players spawn a bit further apart to reduce the chance of weapon issues in first frame
• Weapon upgradestation discount for low tier starter weapons from 40>60%
• Clutch achievement now works when below 1 second no longer below 0.15s
• Conveyor speed reduced and made easier, damage fields now work properly
• Fixed coil ammo not working for modding
• Fixed power tuning mentioning it requires below 10 heat
• Reduced speed of conveyor boss
• Varied other fixes
• Increased droprate of RPK Thundra to normal levels for epic rarity (3x higher), heat 1 > 0.9
• Laser cannon (Arena Upgrade) max ammo from 40 to 35, Heat reworked
• T89 Tokko damage increased from 1.2x to 1.5x
• STG-44 (Arena Upgrade) Damage up from 0.8x to 0.9x, heat from 1.05 to 1.15,

While still a little redundant, the RPK-12 now works decently as an run & gun LMG after the previous rework and can now be justified to drop normally as a cause, Laser cannon was still overpowered, the previous Tokko buff was not enough to compensate for semi-auto and now sits in between an AR and something like a Sour DMR, while STG got stronger but now has to pay more attention to heat which also makes historically sense as a nice bonus. - Shrike

Extra: Double EXP and Special-Run codes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/73d909640c3454e88c1a2f8405f9455cdd60000f.png Added 30 double exp tokens for everyone! All special run codes have been reset New one-time special run codes: Enter in chat after starting a new run to activate. Only works once until reset! /BEESKNEES Stupid stunlock/HOTTAMALES Hot hot hot/GUTS The swordmaster/SCHNITZEL A classic/MAGNUMPII Moustache/MADNESSDAY Thank you Tom/MACHETY Never enough moustache! Find more codes on our community hub and scattered around the channels! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/9f86a4f2129bd8bc438b8f02a369b967ef07e762.png Known issues: Engine update & crash PSA: Keep in mind that there is a known issue of stuttering for some players but we still think this engine issue is better than the previous engine memory leaks and we have to go with the lesser evil now. We don't want you to wait forever for another fix where we don't know when it will appear. Consoles are also still not fully fixed engine wise and on top our Console devkits were stolen and we have to reaquire them to patch, but hopefully both arrive around the same time, although we can not give an ETA at this point. We are very sorry for this but this is not all in our hands and nothing from our side can really make it faster. If the engine stutters are too much we will upload a beta version of the previous update. (Yeah..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alright that's all! We hope you enjoy. Remember to check out the FAQ for Synthetik 2, it also contains S1 related infos. Synthetik 2 Announcement FAQ Have fun! - Team FFG

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/9f86a4f2129bd8bc438b8f02a369b967ef07e762.png Hey everyone! SYNTHETIK 2 is on the way, and it’s coming to Steam Early Access first!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/76544b3046c25b7e8e4c37a957018bd8f894c7c9.png Many more fixes are now live! Things might still not be perfect but should be dramatically reduced with previous 26.05 (145 Fixes!) and now 26.06, we are still investigating on your further reports. For Ultimate we added a lot of things but also had to switch to an very early new version of the Engine, changing many fundamentals and causing a lot of trouble, we are sorry for inconveniences. - Shrike

This update includes a lot of new content, enhanced story features, improvements to core gameplay systems and balancing, and much more.

NEW - Story Intro scene NEW - Outtro scene NEW - Boss Dialogs

We added a new story intro scene which finally explains the backstory a bit, a outtro when beating the new Armageddon room and Bosses sometimes also will have some dialog (Singleplayer only)! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/dd6ad34a2b25e315dff0e8e9c6c37b49127c30e3.png

NEW - Armageddon Final Fight NEW - Armageddon Shard Loop Mechanic

The Last Defender now finally has something to guard; the Armageddon Room. Face a last onslaught of the Red Guard while trying to override the Heart of Armageddon! Beating the Last Defender will still count as a win for class challenges, but to get into loop, you will now have to beat the Armageddon Chamber and override the sequence in time before things go dark. The Armageddon Chamber also Introduces a new mechanic with the Armageddon Shard, the Shard is introduced for playerd who want the game to end soon and feel like they had enough of their often 40-60minute run. Picking up the Shard will give you strong power but kill you after 3 more rooms, ending the game. Players who want to keep trying in the loop should leave the shard. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/0dbdc208a5b72d494ae3e136d03361d74ed38a77.png

NEW - Conveyor Belt Boss Encounter

The Belt room offers a difficult new boss-like challenge, sometimes appearing after the second floor! Face a dangerous onslaught of enemies on conveyor belts with changing directions! We will see about further tuning after more player feedback. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/8ca355d30a883cffe73379551124d2142a000215.png

NEW - Rare Enemy Squad spawns

Similar to everyone’s favourite loot vacuum cleaner bot or the minitank, rare enemy squads can now spawn in normal rooms in occasions near turrets, usually in squads of 2 or 3, for some extra challenge. Their rank is increased based on difficulty and grant high exp and credits, but can also be avoided if the environment allows it.

• NEW - Riotshield Medic Squad
• NEW - Sniper Black Squad
• NEW - Special Elite Shotgunner Squad
• NEW - Railgunner Squad
• Combat Engineer Squad (If owning arena upgrade)
• Psyonic Squad (If owning arena upgrade)

These new enemies and squads will spice things up and add some intensity spikes. Additionally Elite enemies and rare enemies now will show their names so you know who nuked you out of the game ; P {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/d5e0ecb083272bb3ba73aed0366d3bd393682291.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/0b0c222720d3f45c8a8556dc2b7622bd3582be50.png

NEW - Alchemy Synergy Terminal

One big new terminal has been added, the Alchemy shop! It can randomly occur, offering new items with designs based around synergy with other items. This should definitely shake some things up and allow even more crazy builds! A shop will always offer a choice of 3-4 each given time.

Inventor's loot-table

• New Item: Orbital Relay
• New Item: Missile Control
• New Item: Trapper’s Teleporter
• New Item: Shield Link
• New Item: Underbarrel Chip
• New Item: Energy Link

Alchemist's loot-table

• New Item: Lifeblood
• New Item: Shaker
• New Item: Elemental Resonance
• New Item: Fire Fury
• New Item: Nitroglycerine
• New Icon: Refresher

Per example, Trapper's Teleporter can spawn your trap items like Bear trap, Psy Field, even C4 and Neutrino bombs on enemies! Nitroglycerine can trigger explosions upon explosions, Shaker grants one charge to all charge based items and more fun awaits! The alchemy synergy shops have a 15% chance to spawn per room after the first floor, max 2 per run and items cost less than other items of similar rarity. It will always have one of the two loot tables, with around 4 items to choose from. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/74727ac0073120d9876a85f70d8a23a7982899f6.png

• Tomahawk (25s)
• Mass Shotgun system (35s)
• Dragons Masterkey (35s)
• Laser Mines, Stun, Acid mines now auto plants like Bear Traps when full charges

NEW - Create, import and share new weapons!

(PC Only) Tons of stats are available to be changed, you can add new sounds and new weapon images The only thing off limits are some perks the existing weapons have, but even without, there are many variables from our uniquely deep weapon system to play with. The best part: Making your own weapon is extremely easy, everyone can do it! It mostly relies on opening a text file and changing some numbers and pressing save, No convoluted downloads, editors or strange installs. To make a good new weapon you should try to make a new weapon image and at least look for a new firing sound but it is not required. NEW - Make your own weapons with extreme ease! Anyone can do it! NEW - Share and download fanmade weapons over our modding channel! Up to 10 modded weapon slots active simultaneously at the moment (you can store infinite on your PC of course for easy swapping out) Locally saved modded weapons of course can’t work in coop. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/47d9382c59d06e3b82b58c18470df3d2fb077c06.png

Quick Modding Instructions:

30 second modding tutorial - its that easy!

• 1. Open your savedata location, C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Synthetik
• 2. Open the folder "Modweapon0"
• 3. Open the weaponbalancing.sav with the Editor
• 4. Change the balancing, follow the instructions for adding sound and image, save file
• 5. Go ingame and search for "Mod weapon" in weapon database, upvote with token
• 6. Enter firing range through menu near the logo, buy weapon from shop to test
• 7. You can keep changing things and rebuy the weapon for quick iteration
• 8. To use your 10 slots, put other weapons into new folders “Modweapon1”,2,3,4 etc

More instructions can be found inside the weaponbalancing text file. For an image you can simply put a new .PNG in the folder, same for sounds. It will never get easier than this! It's actually much faster than how we created our own weapons.. Weapon Sound Creation Tips: Download Audacity for free. Find or make your own sounds like from freesound.org, edit as you like (or don’t), and then export them as .ogg from Audacity and put them in the folder with the correct naming as written in the weapon balancing file. Weapon Image Creation Tips: You can download GIMP or Photoshop CS2 for free if you don’t have access for Photoshop, look up a tutorial for cropping, and that is all you need to create weapon images. You can also mix together images from existing Synthetik weapons. Export as 425x125 PNG, and put it in the folder. That's all you need! Balancing & Cheating: While making overpowered weapons is briefly fun, give it a try to make something that is cool but balanced within the game and has room to scale up with the upgrades. Picking up a modded weapon right now will skip the new armageddon room and achievements, and give a small increase in terror level, you will see a “Cheat debuff”. More blatantly overpowered weapons will give a stronger “Cheat” debuff with more downsides, so there is more incentive to make something plausible. If the community mostly shares ‘balanced’ weapons, we will consider removing these debuffs but in general this is a complicated and nearly unsolvable issue. We will keep an eye on what people do with it and adjust accordingly, but don't worry too much about it, have fun! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/3586d5a5796fc85bb1e727364572aa4fc5b02f8f.png A firing range mode has been added! Enter by clicking the button next to the game logo in the main menu. You can test your modded weapons or simply try get a good score on the target dummies! Some weapon shops litter around in the firing range to test tokened weapons or your new mod creations! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/98bd43eef13ec948036c61ed8b3c88580633616e.png Here begins the Balancing part of Update 26: Ultimate Many things have been adjusted, overpowered items have been toned down and more things are being made viable. Overall we felt things had been in a good state but will definitely shake up some preconceptions and coupled with the synergy items will allow for even more builds!

Demolisher max damage taken from 450 > 600 Breacher Item cooldown reduction (lvl15) reduced 5 > 2.5 as this was more supposed to be a small bonus to the movement speed, not make him an amazing item user in addition to strong damage and tankiness.

Ammo Types & Ammo Types Consistency:

These changes aim to help certain weapons / types but also push a bit forward to the future ammo design for the Franchise Armor Piercing Technology Type ammo now gains 25 > 50% bonus headshot damage “Armor Piercing” Ammo variants for 9mm, 5.56 Ballistic Type ammo is being reworked and changed into critical chance ammo, now granting 10% increased critical chance in addition to better unit penetration damage. Renamed “Sharp Tip” It makes no sense for ammo piercing ammo to exist for non armor piercing ammo, this is more of a leftover and makes things less weird but still not perfect Keep in mind the Tooltip is not localized yet outside english Shotgun Laser Ammo and Yellow Laser ammo now has the same penetration as default laser This is a noticeable buff for Laser shotguns and M75 Plasma ammo now deals 20> 30% shield damage (a 50% increase) and around 8% more damage Buckshot and Dragons breath deal slightly less enemy penetration damage, 0.5 > 0.4 HiggsHigs Particle cannon ammo now counts as Ion and is changed to Ion effect This means the base projectile is much stronger but the AOE is noticeably weaker, Ion weapons are intended as heavy armor piercing single target nukes and should not overlap with the role of explosive by having perfect AOE with no falloff and downsides. Particle cannon was also just great at everything Dumbfire missiles now deal 25% more damage than other missiles to make them a potential alternative Psyonic ammo now has basic 15 armor pen Acid ammo now only loses 50 > 35% damage on the acid proccs (other shots are normal - Acid arrows still work differently) Acid damage increased by around 200% Acid was too weak given its very slow timing, but now it should have a role in niche situations on high health enemies, especially given it is very easy to keep it running, allowing even weapon switching in between {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/bd4fd1a6324c61b55e094685e412ea7f6d5f23e6.png

Engine Upgrade, Bugfixes & Bugs

• NEW - Automatic Crashlog uploading
• Crashes to desktop will now automatically upload the crashlog to us upon restart, making
• it far easier to catch crash issues.

Many bugs have been fixed but to fix the notorious coop desync issue that plagued the last update, we had to upgrade the engine to a newer version, which changed a lot of things and introduced a lot of new issues, effectively delaying Ultimate by months. The coop desync seems to still appear rarely, and we are watching closely what is happening now. Bugfix patches will follow in the coming days as needed for the issues which were left after the beta test. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/d67e1847f375ac2f25cd2e8d39b41c7a65929145.png As some of you have already heard, U26-Ultimate is our final content patch for Synthetik and now available on multiple platforms. It has been an almost to the day 6 years journey for Taro and me (Shrike) and we are incredibly proud of our first game. When we started working on Synthetik we mainly just wanted to make a cool game for ourselves and our friends. That it could grow into such a big game with such a supportive and passionate community is beyond our wildest dreams. So allow us again to thank you again for your support! Between U25 and U26 we have upgraded the Game Engine twice. Game seems to be in a good shape now but it has grown immensly over the years. It spans about 400k lines of code and many thousand different objects interacting with each other. So as you can immagine changing anything in the project causes issues all over the place. However, we still had a lot of ideas that we definitely wanted to fit into the game so we have worked for months to make this final, ultimative update for Synthetik, finally adressing some big oversights like the lacking Story elements. During the 2 weeks Beta a lot of issues have already been resolved but we expect to deliver more quick fix updates during the comming days. The game now automatically uploads crashlogs on PC when you start the game again after an issue so posting crashlogs is a thing of the past now. However if you experience unexpected issues please post them in the bugs channel on our discord or on the Steam forums. We hope you are also excited about Ultimate and we hope to have you on board for what comes next! Shrike & Taro & the FFG Team www.synthetikgame.com {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/de9ea773f40f510ac73e4d9cbc35fb8732ad8ee8.png

Over the last 6 months we have also scaled up our team, and as of last monday, we are now 8 people full time (+ some great externals - as opposed to just 2 for the game launch) so you better watch out for the great stuff coming for the future of the Synthetik Universe! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/80d9726144b63a2e52991f5d8d5c678a51571d3f.png 1 time use Special run codes; enter in chat at the start of a new run! /INSTAGIB /INVOKER /GAU8

NEW - Weapon Variant total overhaul!

Weapons now have cool floppy disk style graphics and fully detailed tooltips! In addition many have been reworked or improved.

NEW - Many weapon perks have enhanced or new synergies with stats! NEW - All weapons perks now have a full tooltip with details!

Quote Shrike: The weapon perk descriptions were initially not implemented to have at least one larger element of mystery but that did not work out so well given everything else is explained and were asked for since launch. It was a larger localization effort but its finally here! I also took the opportunity to go over a lot of weapon perks and add some additional depth and stat synergies. In addition with the variant tooltips, it feels like a lot of extra depth has been added in my opinion. Not only that, but a good bunch of new weapon perks were added as well!

New Weapon Perks:

• Enforcer carbine new perk
• Damnation bloodbolt scales with terror level
• Twin mill now has perfect movement accuracy
• Apollon MG5 now has a new perk
• Sour DMR new perk
• Auto 945 new perk
• Experimental new perk
• Impaler new perk
• Bren new Perk
• Particle cannon new perk
• M14T new perk
• Scrap Cannon new perk
• KSG new perk
• Some of these perks may have been already live since last update to a degree
• The weapon balance and armor rework notes are at the very bottom!

Ammo Gain character stat

• The character ammo gain stat now affects ammo regen by half
• The character ammo gain stat now affects various weapon procc effects
• The character ammo gain stat now affects no-ammo-cost chances by 1/4th
• No-ammo-cost chances are now affected by luck by 1/4th (previously by half)

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/1bd847faacc659984452365bae36a9b1f5cb68a4.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/80d9726144b63a2e52991f5d8d5c678a51571d3f.png

NEW - 1 Life daily random run!

We added a new challenge run, you can find it in the prestige shop as with the other modes! To unlock the prestige shop, you need to research it in the research menu.

• Exp should no longer be able to be negative in any case but still looking into it

Performance

• Changed / Fixed that enemy and environment hit particles always show above 400 damage and ignore the internal CD = better infight performance

Arena

• NEW - When owning Legion Rising, arena weapons now can drop in variants!
• Reduced requirement for core defense Arena mode to unlock the other modes
• Hopefully improved the exp bug for player 2 situation

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/74465a4e53217034b16d8a2bee9beb3127c7a5a3.png Quote Shrike: TLDR: Armor is a little more meaningful depending on damage types, mostly when the "Deflect" difficulty modifier is enabled. You can scroll to weapon changes on bottom if you don't care about the details

Armor Rework & Technology Ruleset Iteration

• Armor will be updated to the Synthetik Universe v2 ruleset +-
• Armor and Armor-Penetration now ranges from 0 > 100
• Armor now absorbs damage equal to the value, 75 armor = 75% less damage
• Armor pen now negates armor, 75 armor - 25 ap = 50% damage done
• Headshots have additional 15 armor pen

Quote Shrike: What does this accomplish? Previously, enemy armor became irrelevant at higher weapon damage (especially for shotguns) and very hard to judge. Headshots and criticals also just overshadowed armor totally. Now it will perform consistently throughout the game. While we want to keep the game feeling mostly the same, this will make for a bit stronger dynamics between the weapon and ammo types, with the end goal of having each ammo type have their own role and strength and not just have “assault rifles be the better smgs” This new system is also far easier to balance and can be easily scaled towards more hard core and soft core values, while the old was near impossible to balance (Tank with 300 armor would leave shotguns useless but snipers wouldnt care at all per example, so higher values than 150 were basically never used, it just didn't work well)

• Unarmored enemies are unchanged (most humanoids)
• Enemy armor has been adjusted across the board
• Some enemies are stronger now, Riotshield Enforcer most notably and Turrets
• Non bullet abilities have 30 armor pen by default
• Armor piercing ammo and things like Acid ammo are more desirable now

New Armor Values::

• Turrets 45-65 Armor (Turrets are buffed, they were rather weak before)
• Riotshields 50 Armor
• Tanks & Mechanoid Enemies 40-50 Armor
• Heavy Infantry 30 Armor
• Bosses 30 Armor (Health reduced)
• Lighter Gliders 25 Armor
• All normal Humanoids 0 Armor
• Drones 0 Armor
• Most Shielded Enemies 0 Armor
• All player armor stats and modules have been rebalanced

Deflect Difficulty Modifier changed:

• Deflect now increases armor of all armored units by 15, making the damage types and proper counters more meaningful

Item / General changes:

• Items and other things now properly behave within the ruleset
• Example: Raider Plasma knife now deals 400 bonus damage per plating, has 100% armor pen but deals 25% damage to shields
• Lightning items have 50 armor pen but half shield damage
• Laser items deal 50% shield damage and more base damage, 15 armor pen
• Some things already worked, like Battlecry having a shield damage bonus as being Fusion tech
• Fire now deals 75% damage vs shields, lasts shorter vs armor
• Explosions now have 15 AP, damage increased by 10% globally

LONG STORY SHORT

• Shotguns, SMGs are better against unarmored targets, worse against armored targets
• High caliber weapons are slightly worse against unarmored, but have more advantages now
• Turrets are buffed as they were pretty weak most of the time, some weaker enemies were buffed
• Abilities and other things are similar to before
• Player armor is also changed
• Overall the game should feel a little more consistent, a bit more realistic and also more defined in strengths and weaknesses but still very similar

Quote Shrike: Keep in mind that there can be some outliers that are not transferred over well so its important you tell us what you think. This will maybe cause a few issues in the short run but be much better in the long term, but after extensive beta test and a bit of reduction of armor impact it should feel very similar. This is largely an investment in the future. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/6ceeb6d49c83740d555d6fb2a1cc998119a57c20.png

• Fixed Ion shots removing more than one plating
• Laser cannon now properly breaks stealth
• Power tokens for weapons now also adds 5% damage

Quote Shrike: Again please remember that, the soft ballistic, shrapnel, laser, fusion and varied others have had their base damage increased with the armor change, so base damage may have increased PLUS additional increases for certain weapons as stated above (Example: Spectre got higher weapon damage but also the soft ballistic ammo deals more base damage to compensate being weak versus armor) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We also put the Arena DLC and the 2 Supporter packs in a bundle as it was very confusing to find through the store. All these 3 work for both the full game and the free arena standalone!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/3a26029239f23a7937eec8dd708135da1fef8778.png Hey everyone! A small update has just been deployed, adding Traditional Chinese and Japanese language support! Some minor fixes should be included, and we reworked the twin stick behaviour on Controllers, making the aiming assist and aiming more logical and smoother, but just give it a try and let us know what you think. Quick Headsup: We also welcome a new Team member, Moritz M, who will be working with us locally as 3D Artist from now on, making us now 3 in the office! The larger Update 25 will still be coming, an annoucement is also coming soon, so stay tuned! Best - FFG {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/763e50a8d79f789f1e4993ee5cc911aaf211cfda.png

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/b0a39bc66091fb3cd6330107c92a8df8e49e8a09.png Hey everyone! For the end of the Year we have another smaller Update (before U25) celebrating the Launch in Asian regions, the Winter Sale and the Holidays! With the Launch in the Asian regions, we have added 3 thematically fitting weapons for everyone to enjoy. The best thing is that those are no rare weapons, spicing up the normal loot tables! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/b62ccd567e18e32f70e5cc024adabd0d183d9a40.png

- NEW Common Weapon: TYPE-89 ‘TOKKO’

The Type 89, kitted for law enforcement, is the first semi automatic assault rifle in the game and comes with a nonlethal attachment, granting a % chance to fire a rubber bullet, dealing heavy damage and stunning hit targets! As the grenade launcher is not limited to once per magazine as with the M16A4, you can have some lucky moments! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/040940230ad168f88a5ea13da3be732649ed579a.png

- NEW Common Weapon: QBZ TYPE LAS

The QBZ is a common semi automatic laser assault rifle that switches to higher burst amounts depending on weapon heat, and has a high powered first shot! The first shot does extend to an entire burst so you can optimize your heat management for heavy damage spray or just stay on low heat for very accurate single fire. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/26a86e002c1a579dd03fb21dbd15c2c36b139323.png

- NEW Uncommon Weapon: K7 COMPETITION

The K7 is a uncommon competition SMG and favors no luck! Wearing it you lose 25% luck (keep in mind luck affects critical chance amongst many other things) but it has a heavy +125% critical damage bonus, so it will synergize greatly with critical chance builds! Don’t forget that bonus also applies to projectile style item criticals!

• Fire Debuff can no longer last more than 15 seconds on yourself

• Arena killed enemy debris objects from 15% to 10% chance to spawn

This update has a focus on balancing and health of the gameplay systems, many things have been buffed or changed! Here we go:

TLDR:

Overhauled Damage Types Ruleset (Check Weapon menus)

Tons of Weapon Balance changes (Clear your preconceptions!)

Enemy, Item, Class Balance (Demo rework, Raider Core)

Random Module (Press RMB on a module)

Improved Controller Support & Performance

Improved 'Loop' with more Floors

Many General and UI improvements

New Plasma Shotgun, Tec9 Pistol & New Legendary Item

Extra Mouse button support

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/763e50a8d79f789f1e4993ee5cc911aaf211cfda.png The Synthetik Ruleset V2: NEW - Weapon technologies are now shown and explained with icon and tooltip in your weapon inspect menu (Press X ingame)  {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/60ec342a8f9f170847685e9bd5baddfb4f839335.png Shrike: TLDR: We are updating damage types to fit our new technology ruleset. This means some damage types change, most a little, some more. After years of development, post-launch updates and thinking about the future of the underlying designs and ideas, an ever more optimal ruleset is crystalizing. What once started with “A plasma weapon would be nice” now turns into more and more strongly defined technologies, and will be kept and updated like a Pen&Paper rulebook for the Synthetik Universe. After reflecting on the future of the Universe, it is now becoming very clear what Laser, Fusion, Plasma, Ballistic, Psyonic, Curse and the other types will become. Like a deep Spider web of connections, tons of factors (which Factions use which Tech, to Class associations, Logical behaviour, Player expectations, Physics, even down to colors and faction color schemes, planning for two games in advance) influence and dictate what which tech should and shouldn’t do. Over time the “Puzzle” becomes more and more complete, revealing the most optimal design, and also show how some current designs clash with new revelations. You will see much more complex interactions and synergies / counters in the future of the Universe, which will also keep things logical and consistent visually, design and in the world, but today we try to update the content of Synthetik to be close to these ideas. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/ae7162d2879b8fc86a3c1b1cc8568a4deca9f2e0.png FUSION TECHNOLOGY / SHIELDS

• All Classes: Base Shield increased by 200
• All Classes: Base Shield Delay from 2.25 to 2.6-3.0 based on difficulty
• All Classes: Base Shield Regen from 120 to 200 This is intended to give a bigger window to react to your shield health and make it a bit more tactical, with also greater down time and window of vulnerability. All in all, balance should be very similar but you will need to watch out for your shields more or it will be more punishing! Previously keeping up shields were often an after-thought and regenerated quickly without paying real attention, this will make things a bit more deliberate
• As Shields logically absorb shots mid-air, headshots and critical area hits are illogical
• Shields now prevent critical strikes and headshots, which makes sense given their new strength against ranged weapons and weakness against close ranged burst
• The criticals and headshots still count for statistics and perks etc.
• Fusion Tech powers shields and chrono tech, as such
• All fusion weapons will now provide some shield related benefits
• Fusion ammo will react strongly upon fusion shields, now dealing 200% shield damage
• Chrono trooper enemies will also get fusion weapons as conclusion

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/8e2b44bb13966f2f8d0a7e499e3812094f58f9c3.png LASER TECHNOLOGY

• Laser weapons now don’t have the slower cooling when below 30 heat all weapons have
• Laser weapons now often have Hi-Powered first / last shot perks

NEW Mechanic: First shot recoil All weapons now have 10% reduced deviation & recoil upon the first shot (resets after not firing for a time, about equivalent to another potential shot would take), rewarding tap firing more Mechanics: Headshots Each Floor completed increases global headshot damage by 10% to make headshots more viable late game {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/eb09dcf1722d2278335935542ef9f15bac21f113.png

Boss changes

• Disco Room spawn rate slowed down (12 > 14s)
• Dual Tanks in Last Defender room now spawn in higher rank on higher difficulty (150/200%)
• Special vehicle spawns also spawn on higher ranks on higher difficulty (150/200%)
• APC room polished up a bit, now only gains 5 plating in single player on loot drops

Enemy changes

• Enemies now disengage after 4 seconds of lacking LOS instead of 15 seconds
• All enemies now have 1 less plating in the very first room
• Rank 1 and Rank 2 enemies now get their hp and shield scaling after the rank scaling
• (this previously was a mistake and made rank 1 shields not scale - Rank 2 enemies will also have more health which was a planned change either way)
• Ballbot speed scales less with difficulty (0.5x > 0.25x)
• Hovertank 808 deals far more damage and has a large shield (didn’t do much before)
• Saturn 5 Heavy Tank & Madness Accelerator Flak Tank now deals 20% more damage

• Headhunter hp now scales with difficulty as they were a bit weak
• Turrets now have 150 + 25 * floor - Armor as they are usually destroyed way too quickly,
• and to better balance hard hitting weapons vs fast firing weapons

Overall these changes aim to counteract power creep and the new technology upgrades a bit making ranks and turrets harder, making some enemies less useless and ballbots less harsh And giving better scaling challenge for higher difficulties without affecting the lower ones (Keep in mind that the Shield change might make the game more difficult if you play the exact same as before, it takes a bit more attention to the shield as before) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/1bd847faacc659984452365bae36a9b1f5cb68a4.png

The Loop:

NEW - The loop no longer skips to the end boss after the first floor, the next floors should now follow! Let us know what you think!

• New - Stat screen: Added tooltips over the stat images showing more stats

Upgradekits & Perk Kit changes

• NEW - Random Module
• The default module (right click to remove your current module) is no longer “empty slot” but
• Random Module. With it selected, you will find random modules in the game instead, and all module drops have higher power.

This is a new alternative way to play with modules as we think It's a bit overwhelming with 2 modules at the start and feel that players (as ourselves) often don’t pay attention to them when starting. It feels more natural to select them mid-game. > RIGHT CLICK TO RESET A MODULE TO THE RANDOM MODULE!

• Perk kits now drop less from bosses but always have 150% power to reduce buff bloat
• Perk kits still have a chance of higher power, and a new super rare chance to be super strong
• Perk kits now give all class perks from chest and perk cores for the class (makes more sense)
• (Weapon Stat Upgrades no longer show as rank icons, as these are used for the rarity levels to reduce confusion and learning curve, but still show in Deathstatistics)

TLDR: More upgradekits, less but more powerful perk kits, small chance for super perk power Upgradekit random bonus chance from 0.5% to 1% (means higher chance to get a bonus kit) Upgradekits now always drop from bosses if no perk kit has dropped {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31930404/f40b03a5450f603e54419908eca3be053eb35f96.png

• Missile trail now spawns less overlapping trails depending on the setting, reducing trail object amount by factor 2-3 but looks worse, still looking into it
• Reduced duration of small fires, meaning less at the same time
• The ground color is now baked into the floor surface, increasing performance slightly
• Flying dust particles are now affected by particle setting
• Drawing of enemies when offscreen is now more performant, and even better in solo play
• NEW setting for disabling the background fog, which helps a bit on low end systems

(We will deploy a small patch early next week to fix any leftover issues, and which will enable coop for the madness, tactical and adrenaline mode.) Here again big thanks to everybody who voted and reviewed the game during Autumn sale. We broke the 750 ratings mark, you are awesome! We also have something cool planned for december so stay tuned! - FF https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/763e50a8d79f789f1e4993ee5cc911aaf211cfda.png

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/5e2dab7ce11737132f20887b0f47647575fad314.png Hey everyone! We are glad that Legion Rising is so well recieved and this update is more of a "day one" update that adresses most issues that came up with the Addon, as well as doing an final balance iteration for the classes. We are now very happy with the standing of the classes (as of the following changes) and the statistics and feedback now represent our expectations very well. That said, here we go:

UPDATE 20.1 - Class and Exp changes

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/1bd847faacc659984452365bae36a9b1f5cb68a4.png

Experience:

Class experience is now much faster for level 5-20 (Around 2-3x) Experience gained is now shown while playing with a bar at the bottom of the screen And directly applied, no longer after the match. The deathscreen still shows a recap however. (Keep in mind the Loop grants reduced experience as it is meant for fun and optional, not for endless grind.) With double the amount of classes, leveling should be faster and Legion did not make that change. Leveling also became more important, and as such it is made faster to hit that level 15. There is a hard balance to strike here to keep long time players engaged but not frustrate people with little time. Maybe we overdid it a little with the Exp Token, but we will keep an eye out.

New Daily-Login Experience Boost:

Login bonus now grants a Experience token! The token lasts 1000 seconds or until you die and you get 3x Experience while it is active! This will make it much easier to level if you don't have much time to play. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/f40b03a5450f603e54419908eca3be053eb35f96.png

Riotguard:

• Cooldown of Battlecry slightly increased, scaling adjusted
• Tomahawk extra throw chance increased 10 > 15
• Can now drop the starting pistol
• Riotshield ammo gain / cap from 30/60 to 35/70
• Riotshield heat increased
• Shield bash damage slightly increased
• Now is granted 10% movement speed in boss rooms to be on par with default

Riotguard is one of the most played classes, is very versatile and has very strong Perks later on, and already was in a very good place - maybe a little bit overperforming but nothing critical

Breacher:

• Breaching charge is thrown 20 range further and baseline charges cap 2 > 3
• Level 5 Perk now additionally grants a stim effect when entering a room and heals a bit
• (Breacher has a really insane level 25)
• Breacher now moves slightly faster than default (Fastest of all classes)
• Breacher shield no longer has longer delay than default and regens 25% faster
• Breacher now takes reduced explosion damage (35% - You still gotta learn how to use the charge)
• Level 5 Perk still dosn't work - we didn't know - Fixed next week
• Super shorty has a new firingsound, deviation and damage slightly increased
• Breacher has new level 15 Passive, granting penetration for shotgun ammo
• Shieldburst now also grants breacher stacks

Breacher is a higher risk / reward class and more aimed towards an advanced player. He did not lack in power before but is more rounded-off now, and will be in a very good state when the level 5 Perk is working again

Sniper:

• Level 15 Perk is now included in the level 0 Perk
• Level 15 Perk is now granting level 0 standing bonuses when using Targetlaser
• (the shield regen per distance was not really working)
• Sniper Maximum Shield +25
• Flash grenade deals higher base damage
• Laser is now red
• Fixed Headhunter perk refreshing 10x of intended value in shields

Sniper deals very high burst damage but really has to pay attention which we like a lot, he just was a little too overly squishy

Assassin:

• Shield-regen delay time from 50% longer than normal to 25% faster than normal!
• Shield Max increased by 50
• Now takes 10% reduced health damage
• Level 15 perk now properly grants credits
• Core Healing scaling reduced as dagger provides extreme sustain
• Core Damage baseline increased, scaling reduced slightly
• Level 20 Perk now properly uses ammo
• Blood borne nerfed
• Stealth item now stops channeling when out of stealth
• Fixed smoke grenade changing stats incorrectly when vanishing and removing all dodge
• Black Market Teleporter no longer works in final Boss room

The Assassin is the probably hardest class and intended to be more niche - He does very well at what he was supposed too but the shield nerf was too extreme. Now he has a faster shield and is not deleted as instantly. He still has the highest sustain from all classes but clearly at the highest risk.

Raider:

• Blade no longer heals when not hitting a target
• Core Perk no longer goes to 3 stacks by spamming dash alone
• New Level 5 Perk - Blade kills instantly reset the blade
• Blade cooldown 8 > 12 seconds
• Blade damage decreased from 700 to 600

Raider is very mobile and well rounded, his performance was as we expected and one of the player favourites but now he has even higher skill-cap with the Blade resets. We will keep an eye out on the Blade balance however

Heavy Gunner:

• Now has a small light at the player when using onslaught system
• Hard Light cover no longer explodes when destroyed, regens way more shield
• Fixed issue where he had old stats changes applied for a previous iteration of the class
• (means more movement accuracy and less firing slowdown)
• Now has default headshot value
• LG-2 ammo printing effect now is 10% of spare ammo instead of 5 (same at default)
• LG-2 ammo printing now also reloads the same into the magazine
• Fixed level 15 perk not granting an upgrade kit
• Onslaught System now gives proper double shot chance and firerate (fix)
• Onslaught System now gives more base ammo regen but scales less
• Perk Core flashes when suppression is applying on shots
• Now is granted 10% movement speed in boss rooms to be on par with default

Heavy gunner got a lot of quality of life changes and fixes, but maybe we will still change how the LG-2 gains its ammo

Engineer:

• Fixed Auto-Overclocker now gives 2-3 scrap on kill instead of 1 (actually was a bug)
• Overclocker Friendly units heal increased from 50%+ 500 to 65% + 500,
• (Player temporary health gain unchanged from 400, which is still very good)
• Sentry turret duration slightly increased from 4+10s to 5+15s
• Drone Zeal duration calculation improved
• Level 5 Perk now is at level 10
• New Level 5 Perk (Weapon bonuses + 5 Drone Zeal on Player overclocks)
• Laser weapon bonus now works
• Now has 100 more shield and 25% more shield regen
• Level 15 perk now works at 15, not 10
• Missile Drone Item has more health and works like other summons
• Spider Mine Item now has a cap on stacks, also gains stacks from ultra kills
• Well Oiled now also displays a popup message when proccing
• Fixed prestige bonus not working

The Engineer was clearly underperforming, we did remove his shield bonus at the last minute which was a mistake and is now reverted, and he got some very good buffs. As the specialist class before, he will still be more of a niche character that has a lot of potential and ways to be played for a more experimenting player

Demolisher:

• New Baseline Perk which grants shield per second while ejecting+reloading which is pretty
• strong and helps with survivability a lot when using launchers especially
• Now starts with 100 additional max health
• Level 10 talent now also grants reduced explosion damage taken
• M79 and RPG-7 have a higher chance to drop when playing as demolisher
• (Actually M79 was not even in the normal loot table)

The Demolisher was a bit underperforming, but the new shield bonus makes low-ammo launchers/weapons way better than before and greatly helps at survival. While the single shot weapons are hard to handle and maybe give a poor first impression, the demolisher really has insane damage potential while being rather tanky, we will keep an eye on him still. Both engineer and demolisher scale well into mid-lategame which is not to underestimate and we think both now have at least on-par performance

All classes:

• Take 1% reduced health damage per level below 10
• (so 10% less damage at level 0)

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/21496d6d8f2af9feadf22f5538a97494bd8696e9.png

  Breacher level 5 dosn’t work, fixed early next week Loading still lags when playing the first time each new PC start on weaker harddrives, contacting the engine makers about it Aggro in coop seems incorrect

There will be a small patch with some additional fixes early next week Keep in mind most of the changes have been already live for a couple days! Have fun!

Have fun! - Eric, Alex & Karl

Hey everyone, great news! The long awaited next update is coming on Wednesday (October 3rd) next week! We spent the last two months working hard on all important areas of the game, it became so big to be worthy to become the first official expansion for the game called: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/d989b4a2f9f8cfd0d88e522458e342948fb854b6.png Synthetik: Legion Rising will heavily upgrade the core of Synthetik while also adding new content for the experienced Players. As some of you may already know this Update will feature a major overhaul of the class system, each class makes way for two Subclasses highlighting different aspects of the class! The Subclasses have new and unique Class Benefits, distinct starter Items and Weapons. If you loved the old classes, don’t worry the spirit of the classes and the perks remain intact and are shared between sister classes. The Subclasses feel like an extension and allowed us to flesh out more details. Where the old Commando had to balance superior firepower with close combat, the Raider is specialized in fast, close quarter skirmishes and the Assault Gunner unleashes raw firepower to rain hell on his enemies. Here a quick teaser of the new Subclasses, more info soon! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/8a268948a2a1bf8327c5df9fffb798fd4e4e005d.png And there will be much more than that! The Expansion will be free for everyone who already owns the game! The price for the game will be adjusted to 19,99$/€, the other currencies accordingly. However, if you want to support us, we will release a Supporter Pack, containing a few things such as a shiny, flaming dash! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/99f16479c8b2772fece9596cd20c7aff8becd271.png We also want to take the opportunity to thank all of you for your support, it has been a wild year for us. We haven’t been able to catch a breath after the release with all the support and feedback coming from you urging us to keep working hard on the game. We hope you enjoy the new expansion as much as we do, let us know what you think and don’t forget to join our Discord if you want to have a chat with us! See you October 3rd! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/4649da01a4a7656c72e8e39c69aa980e980e5fa8.png

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/c2a2d5fdaa01ebf858a438b99ddda0fd1c632c86.jpg Hi everyone, a new update for Synthetik just arrived! In this update we focus mainly on the Environments, new Rarities for Items and Weapons and of course as usual Balance improvements. Oh, I almost forgot the new Items and the totally badass Epic Anti-Material Rifle! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MANY NEW ROOMS

We found and fixed a bug in the Room generation that slipped in with the Engine upgrade in the last update. The bug caused environment presets of the same size overriding each other resulting in the same preset being spawned all the time. Now the Environments are a lot more varied again, some props even did not occur at all! We made a lot of new room blueprints for the Floors, with a more distinct, customized style. Each Floor now feels more unique with an overall higher quality level but less randomization. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/5e31975c3d6cf8c80fb137f3925d5937988a4376.png https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/140f408830418b37294469d524616e8ce8667b51.png

• 3 New handmade Room blueprints for Crystal Virtual Reality Floor
• 2 New handmade Room blueprints for Training Floor
• 3 New handmade Room blueprints for Missile Silo Floor
• 3 New handmade Room blueprints for Electro Floor
• 2 New handmade Room blueprints for Pipes Floor
• 2 New handmade Room blueprints for Military Bay
• Improved the collisions of varied props, especially Crystal Floor

Keep in mind that the room order is random and you have a significant chance of not seeing new rooms for a few runs. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/1bd847faacc659984452365bae36a9b1f5cb68a4.png

RARE VARIANTS & RARITIES

There is a new purple “rare” category, which is between blue and pink Some blue weapons are put into the rare category, but still drop from wood crates.

Weapon rarities:

• Rare U L T R A variant now has double chance of occuring on blue weapons

It can only be fired when standing and reduces Player movement speed. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/b995af74b59520a5b63c0c7b7e001fc5df900016.png It’s simple but demanding and fun to use with some of the nastiest weapon sounds yet!

FIRING SOUND SYSTEMS

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/05e6a7a92275acb9767ba7e5ba5fb059a67fd276.png New Legendary Item - Infinity Drill Piece New Epic Item - Z1 Living Bomb New Epic Item - Seismic Resonator Sticky Bomb - This time for real https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/1d3aeb91a1272acb383e59101093481256beb8b9.png

ITEM CHANGES

• Item extra trigger chance can no longer surpass 75%
• Item power capped at 500% But: upgrade costs are now capped at 2500, reaching extreme item power level is now more attainable.
• Superior and Ultra (old Master crafted) now grant 25% more item power
• New Divine and secret variant added

All class items are now grouped in the same starting item rarity, this means they are often cheaper to upgrade as before as some items were of purple rarity. All ‘weapon’ items now properly show their upgrade damage modifier in the tooltip

ITEM BALANCE

• Recycling now grants 100 ▶ 300 credits for the lowest rarity tier
• Order 322 Mind Control fixed and reintroduced
• Order 322 now also gives 100 health regeneration to controlled unit and lasts far longer

• Dragons Masterkey increased pellet damage 200 ▶ 230, burning chance 66% ▶ 100%

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/bd4fd1a6324c61b55e094685e412ea7f6d5f23e6.png

CORE MECHANICS - CRIT HEADSHOTS

Critical Headshot calculation fixed, headshots crit damage is now based on base damage (base * crit + headshot) instead of (base * crit * headshot) Per example: 250*2 = 500 + 250 = 750 vs 250*2*2 = 1000

• Headshot damage increased from 210% to 225%
• Critical damage is now buffed 75% ▶ 100%
• Critical strike chance cap increased to 40% and base crit chance to 4

Our goal is to make damage feel more consistent and numbers relatable. This is a nerf for extreme numbers that seem to come out of nowhere, a buff for crit and headshots but a clear nerf to headshot-crits.

CORE MECHANICS - RICOCHET

Weapon shots no longer bounce if angle difference is less than 2°- this still allows for extremely unrealistic sharp angled bounces but it prevents perfect perpendicular -l bounces to fly directly back at you, looking at you Nemesis!!

CORE MECHANICS - PLATING

Plating now absorbs 1000 damage + 50% of damage instead of absorbing a full shot - This makes hard hitting weapons better in the late game and make headshots more rewarding. Armor is also rebalanced to support this. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/eb09dcf1722d2278335935542ef9f15bac21f113.png

ARMOR CHANGES

• Hypertrooper, LMG Devastator and Heavy Flamethrower now have 50 ▶ 150 armor
• Riotshield and Breach Riotshield units have 70 ▶ 180 respective 100 ▶ 200 armor
• All 4 above have slightly reduced health

BALANCE

• Enemy Health in Silo Floor increased by 7%
• Ballbot speed scales less with difficulty and a bit easier to deal with
• Ball Defender has 900 ▶ 500 Shield, scales with difficulty
• Ball Defender has 90% shorter shield regeneration delay and stronger regeneration https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/1774499220697ede528111dbe83f27c569c4b3ee.png
• Chono Trooper shield now scales fully with difficulty
• Elite SG Shotgunner damage now scales to ¼ with difficulty
• Enforcer fire rate and accuracy now scales to ¼ with difficulty
• Railgun Glider HP increased slightly
• Overseer now has 3 Plating
• Phaser Ammo count halved, you have 80% more total time to shoot him
• Defense Quest Shrine has 4000 additional health
• Tanks in Military Floor now patrol less into props
• Tanks now have 8000 ▶ 13000 HP baseline as they usually melt in seconds
• Disco Floor voidzones now start to damage after 1 ▶ 1.75 seconds
• Disco Floor spawn interval from 11 to 12 seconds on average, scales less with difficulty
• Disco Floor now continues to spawn a poison cloud after 1.5 minutes which gets stronger, giving a soft limit to farming the area

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/21496d6d8f2af9feadf22f5538a97494bd8696e9.png

Update 15 brings many new shiny features and content, including new Weapons, Items, a brand new Prestige system for dedicated players, as well as balancing changes. On top of that we reworked the networking code to allow everybody to play co-op! Here’s the full list of changes (brace yourself, it’s a big one!): https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/1830db688fc94421114c97c2bb5b4375358db269.png

PRESTIGE SHOP

You can now “Prestige” a class at class level 25, resetting the class level and granting a prestige level. The first prestige grants a small bonus for all classes and first and second grant a small cosmetic effect. New Prestige Shop Menu (Unlocked by research) Allows the purchase of:

• Mystery Boost (now has 6 different effects).
• Re-roll Daily Modules
• Class EXP Token
• Class Prestige

SPECIAL MODES

You can now unlock special run modes, which will change the essence of the game For your singleplayer runs. These are all paid for in the prestige shop.

• Madness Run (reward for defeating the end boss).
• Faster, more enemies, slightly more damage, high alert
• Hyper Adrenaline Run (reward for beating the end boss twice).
• High tension, Deal extreme damage and take extreme damage

NEW RELAY SERVER SYSTEM

The first version of the relay servers is now live! A lot of netcode has been reworked for this and as a result, networking performance also has improved. This solves all connection issues by connecting through a server of ours. The game will then try to connect directly to the other player with the old system to improve the ping but the server makes sure all traffic reaches its destination. We have a western European server live, but we’ll have even more coming soon. This also means that we are not using the engines hosting functionality anymore, which means Players with IPv6 addresses can now host games. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31930404/1bd847faacc659984452365bae36a9b1f5cb68a4.png
