[h3]More Build Diversity[/h3]
- Since the last Roadmap news, we added weapon mods, and the Major Update 2 will bring a new pack of goodies to make your builds more unique than ever. This will give you more control over winning a picnic in all crazy styles. You can expect A LOT of new Evolutions and even some new Curios thrown in the mix ;)

[h3]Balancing (Harder, Faster, Better, Stronger)
[/h3]
- A significant point in our next Major Update is a complete rebalance and improvements of our underlying Enemy Spawner. We hear your feedback about the game feeling slow-paced and grindy, and that it can be a slog! We are working on many new things to make it faster-paced and with more consistent enemy progression.
- Our new update aims to make the matches faster overall and with quicker objectives. That means objectives with fewer things to do (time, health, counts) and enemies dying faster. However, simultaneously, it also means the rest of the game will be a bit harder. Please look forward to some more pain.
[h3]Progression Tweaks
[/h3]
- Between the first Major Update and the second, we've already made many adjustments to Discoveries and Curios, and we even added a new map, Viridity Pass, to smooth out the game's first-time experience. This is all to address some community feedback about the overall game progression. We'll keep working on it till it's perfect for final release, so keep those comments flowing.
- The UI team has done a TON of work, from reworking the entire gameplay HUD to creating the new Tab and loadout explainer (press F1). One major question from the players was about what each thing does and how they work: like, what does Burn, Chill, or Doom do? What does the Quantity or Probability stat do? Well, soon we're releasing a Tooltips system to explain everything to you! And way more UI improvements are coming to the game as we head to the second Major Update and beyond!
