Patch Notes (319)

I have a busy week coming up so might not be able to get an update out next weekend, but we will endure

New

2 new beacons
Testing some Fallen melee combo variations

Updates

Armor classes (aura & passive) are now unlocked from the beginning of the game
- Overcharge is still unlocked at level 2
- Welcome menu has a second page that prompts you to select an initial armor class
- First Armor equip quest has been replaced with first path equip
(Bastion Path)
- (Passive) Dash distance improved to -20% (was -30), added movement speed reduction of -10%
- (Energize Perk) Energy regen reduced to 0.15/s (was 0.32), movement speed improved to -5% (was -10). Apologies for this nerf, I believe I created this perk with energy regen rate in mind, not explicit Energy gain. But I find this version more fun, it just needs to be balanced accordingly.
- (Stalwart Perk) Reduces movement speed by 5% instead of increasing dash stamina cost
(Skirmisher Path) Passive’s dash cost improved to -30% (was 35)
You can now interact with The Light to kill the Shadow, regardless of their location
Armor System’s Stun Recovery stat improved to 1.25% (was 1)
You can now interrupt swinging, reloading, blocking and weapon swap to ability drain (previously was only allowed to interrupt shooting for some reason)
(Shockwave Blade) now deals 50% damage and 1.5 stun to the first target, reducing by 10% for each subsequent hit. No longer hits within your swing’s range
Firearm Barrel charge perks update:
- Charging now costs 1 energy and lasts for 3 seconds
- Pulse Barrel deals 45% weapon damage and 200% stun
- Magnetic Barrel deals 80% weapon damage to max 6 targets
Added damage types to many beacon perks
(Ghost Beacon) Now triggers on any melee evasion (was only dodge before)

Fixes

Gadget HUD button accounts for ‘Interact uses gadget’ setting now
(MiniGunner Path) Feed the Beast Perk now functions properly on high latency clients
Fixed non-base helmet textures being low-rez on in cosmetics preview
