[h3]Misc. Changes, and Fixes[/h3]

• Mystery implant description updated to reflect current implant changes.
  
• Fixed a typo in haunted bastion alert when fleet carrier is destroyed.
  
• Wavestinger Harpoon now contributes to melee based directives and works with melee implants.
  
• NSX Fusion Blade now works with Scavenger Implant and contributes towards "Silver for Monsters" Halloween Directive.
  
• NS Homerun now contributes to melee based directives, including "Silver for Monsters" Halloween Directive.
  
• Fixed the medical tool being interrupted by players and vehicles. Static collision like walls, roofs, and cover objects will still break line of sight.
  
• The NS-66 Punisher's Adaptive Underbarrel attachment now correctly fires the grenade of your current class.
  
• The substantial FPS drop related to shield generators was fixed. It was caused by incorrectly configured and spawned visual effects which have been reimplemented to avoid this issue. The generators should look and work essentially the same without the side effect of making your computer cry.
  
• MAXes can no longer be revived by grenades. The issue was caused when the player's class would sometimes be changed during the death cam, allowing the now non-MAX MAX to be revived.
  

This month's new bundle includes:
🤖"NS-Homerun" Melee Weapon
☠️Phylactery Implant

[h2]Halloween Event (Oct. 05 - 31)[/h2]
SpacePumpkins, frightening masks and more have arrived to the haunted world of Auraxis. Nanite of the Living Dead is here and with it brings the return of the haunted bastion fleet carrier, Halloween directive, cosmetics and more!


[h2]Space Pumpkins are back![/h2]
Scattered across a continent near you, these pesky squashes are springing up everywhere! Destroy them for bonus XP and progress on your Halloween directive!


[h2]Halloween Directive[/h2]
Swing by Sanctuary and say hello to Sanctuary's festive vendors! When ready, venture out to battle and complete your Halloween missions to unlock the "Infernal" title and Halloween 2023 Banner and Frame.


[h2]Haunted Bastion Event[/h2]
The Bastion Fleet Carrier has been spotted haunting the battlefields. Like an undead zombie, the carrier returns even upon its destruction. Keep an eye to the skies, soldier!

The Fleet Carrier can destabilize lattice hardlines while spawned making certain parts of the map incapable of being contested or captured until it is destroyed. The more SpacePumpkins are destroyed, the more likely this beast will appear!


[h2]New Depot Items[/h2]
Doombringer Helios variant

• This new Helios is wrapped with chains, spikes and horns, very doomlike.

Pumpkin Smasher Tire Spikes

• Tread with style and equip these new wheels for your Sunderer, Harasser, Flash, and ANT.

Previous Halloween depot items have also returned including Halloween themed vehicle horns, decals, and helmets!

• Fixed missing glowing textures on bugged decals.
  
• Fixed an exploit that allowed you to shoot under barrel grenades while in the weapon's rifle configuration.
  
• Fixed a bug that allowed you to revive through walls with the Revive tool.
  
• Fixed decals that do not appear on vehicles.
  
• Fixed glaive cannon rotation issues that caused abnormal cannon movements.
  
• Fixed a bug involving purchasing the 1.75x zoom attachment for the JVN-30 Salamander with Certs for NSO.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Recon Array did not trigger a sound when a construction structure was under attack.
