New items:

• New character class — Saboteur:
  Every 120 seconds, the Saboteur activates one of two abilities, depending on his current HP:
  — if HP is above 50%, Absolute Evasion is activated, rendering the Saboteur immune to enemy-inflicted damage for 20 seconds and boosting his own damage by 30%;
  — if HP is below 50%, Absorption is activated, granting the Saboteur invulnerability for 20 seconds and a temporary 30% movement speed bonus, while also converting 50% of incoming damage into healing.
  
• New boss — Grapper;
  
• New Weapon Workshop building functionality:
  You can now change your characters' equipment at the Workshop at any time!
  
• New skills:
  "Thunder Shurikens" — throws several projectiles at random points in a semicircle in front of the character that penetrate any number of enemies and inflict physical damage;
  "Dark Fusion Cube" — places a cube on the ground that shoots out rays of dark fire after a short pause.
  
• New enemies:
  Zombie Bear dashes at the Merc whenever it gets into the range of 4 and 10 meters from them. If the beast is closer or further than the specified distance, it will give chase at regular speed;
  Ergot is an enemy surrounded by a damage-dealing aura that follows the Merc tirelessly and likes to hang out close to them.
  
• "Kill all zombies" mini-game;
  
• New unique Biotech perk — "Toxic Fungus":
  Every 25 seconds, it creates a mushroom that deals AoE damage over the next 10 seconds.
  
• New achievements.

Other changes:

• Ghost Rider
  New music tracks have been added;
  Reduced Fire Trail duration: 5 > 3 sec.
  
• Damage numbers:
  Reduced font size;
  Reduced display time;
  Adjusted display priority — the numbers will no longer overlap the Merc and their foes.
  
• Interactive points:
  Bosses spawned by triggering interactive zones will now have a dedicated health bar.
  
• EVAC:
  The chest under the dome can now only be of first rarity.
  
• Graphics and sounds:
  Added unique effects and sounds when defeating certain enemy types.
  
• HQ:

• "Forest" Location:
  Mutators now will spawn fewer Exploding Zombies;
  Mutators now will spawn fewer Large Zombies.

  Reduced the base damage AoE for all levels;
  Increased the damage AoE for the Cataclysm Evolution.
  
• Spear:
  Increased base damage for all levels.
  
• Shotgun:
