Patch Notes (294)

New

New Interactable: Old War Relic Pickup

Updates

New lowest tier flow state (enemy spawning): Calm. This state has 0 passive spawns, only set quantity spawns from triggers when moving around the map.
This provides more reliable moments of breathing room and exploration no matter the difficulty.
Mutation Passive timer now scales with flow state.
This is meant to reduce the effect of the passive timer on players’ decision making in quiet moments
Currency changes
- Most Scouts now cost Medallions instead of Relics
- Gear mods cost Coins and 1 Relic (was 1c and 1m)
- Vaults now have a chance to grant 1-3 Relics (was just 1)
- The Relic trades are back (temporarily located at the Progression menu again)
- Increased chance for Chest reward to be a Relic
  These changes are in preparation for a new mechanic coming soon, but also to solidify the differences between the currencies and give them all a purpose. Coins are the baseline that are earned, Medallions are primarily for in-run buffs and Relics are essentially a crafting material that is primarily found in the world
End of stage Fallen now waits at a specific area for you instead of spawning on a timer.
I think this adds to player agency as you can now decide whether to rush and spawn the boss asap or take some time to look for interactables or finish off a wave before starting the boss
New Interactable spawn location decision code to help spread them out around each of the objectives a bit more, instead of the current tendency for them to be clumped up in 1 area
Dropped currencies when mission is lost now show in the end mission screen
Extraction is now called from the support menu similar to ammo/health/rez instead of forcing a countdown

Fixes

Fixed Resilience not correctly being consumed sometimes
Fixed Enforcer’s force shield not stopping piercing shots

11-4-24 Update 296

Calling early extraction is no longer limited to between stages
Early extraction now costs Medallions, the amount scales with how early in the mission you are
Extraction time is increased the earlier you call it
