MINOR PATCH 0.32.1 (2021.05.20)

Hey gang. Gamers. Friends. Enemies. Aesop here with a minor patch, just like we have every two weeks! There's not too much to change today, character-wise. We've just got some small changes, look forward to next week for bigger adjustments and a NEW character!

Servers will go down to apply the patch on the 19th from 7PM until 10PM (PT).

[h2]Patch Note - Quick Look[/h2]



[h2]New Skin[/h2]
Boss Magnus will be available for purchase!.



[h2]Character[/h2]
After lowering kill experience given to players in last week's update, gameplay time for the top 15 spots has lengthened, but the bottom three players are still dying around the same time.
To reduce kills in the early stages of the game, we're adjusting the movement speed between having and not having leg armor, increasing base HP, and increasing Bread recovery.

  • (Everyone) Movement speed +0.05

  • Leg armor that does not build into higher tier items: Movement speed -0.05

  • (Everyone) Base HP +80

  • (Everyone) HP per level -3

  • Bread

    • HP Regen 275 → 325
