June Monthly Update Now Live – Patch Notes v0.6.2.120584

[h3]Features and Gameplay Updates[/h3]

[h3]Game Flow Updates[/h3]

• Quitting/Crashing Mid-Run
  • If a player quits or crashes mid-run, we no longer treat it as death. Instead, on the next play session, the player will skip the Hub and start in-run at the last shrine (unless in multiplayer).
• AI updates around Shrines
  • Enemies will not prioritize players who are near/interacting with a shrine.
• Resurrecting Breakers from their corpse returns!
  • Use one of your own med kits to revive a fallen teammate where they stand.
    • You can also still spend Bright Blood at a nearby shrine to resurrect them.
• Skeksis has returned!
  • Check out Skeksis, the mod vendor in the hub, for the ability to upgrade your amps, similar to your blades and rails.
• Map Revealers now found around The Overgrowth
  • Activate these to clear Fog of War more quickly and reveal previously hidden items on the map.
• Amp System Rework
  • Each Breaker now has two Amps available to them.
    • The second one will need to be unlocked by spending a Core.
    • Select your amp on the loadout screen - only the chosen amp will drop during your run.
    • Expect additional updates and improvements to Amps and Loadouts in future updates!
• Improved post extraction flow so that players now go straight to the Abyss screen and then are loaded back into the hub.

[h3]New Mods and Updates[/h3]

• Exploding Shot - Rail Affix
  • Landing 3 consecutive shots creates a sticky explosive on target on that last shot, flash enemy then detonates creating an AoE that hits for 40% of Blast DMG.
• Splinter Blades - Blade Affix
  • Grants ability for any Blade Skill to cause an explosion of blades on impact, dealing damage.
• Cluster Bomb Impact - Amp Affix
  • Explosions triggered by your Blade Special creates mini-bombs which explode nearby, dealing a percent of your Blast DMG.
• Overload Trigger - Amp Affix

  • Gain Armor shard(s) when one of your summoned Allies dies.
• Cronotized Chip - Amp Affix
  • Amp duration is increased.
• Status Effect Updates
  • Status Effects now work differently between Breakers and enemies.
    • Previously, enemies would apply status effects to Breakers on every hit.
    • Now, enemy attacks build up a status effect meter before applying status effects.
      • This has made most status-applying enemies easier to battle, but be aware that rapid attacks like the Bat Elite and Dirk Elite can fill the meter before the full attack combo has finished.
• Holobytes no longer have rarity tiers.
  • Expect additional updates to Holobyte synergies and acquisition methods in future updates!

[h3]New Enemies[/h3]

• Burst Beetle Variant
  • This blue and pink beetle will dash at you and create an explosion. Found at later world ranks in the Forest biome.
