Granvir News

This week's update to the Granvir Demo brings rain storms to Inheritance. During campaigns, a storm will sweep across the region map, changing the weather for missions caught inside.



Missions in the rain will impact the visibility range and cooling rate of all Granvirs. These modifiers synergize well with melee oriented builds, shortening the gap to close at the start of fights.



Besides this major feature, a number of quality of life changes have been made to help ammo heavy builds quickly understand their supply situation. Ammo widgets displaying each weapon's current reserves are displayed at rest areas and the munitions vendor is presented outside categories.

A new shoulder part, Berserker Plumes arrive this update as part of an ongoing plan to improve the effectiveness of melee only builds. Berserker Plumes are heat management shoulder modules that vent a large amount of heat when heat reaches extreme levels. This new part gives melee only Granvirs a powerful part option for filling any open shoulder ports.

On top of the new parts, many existing parts have gained melee damage reduction to help them tough out a brawl. Finally, most high rarity legs have had their dash heat cost reduced to free up the amount of heat available for swinging melee weapons and escaping reactor explosions.

The melee only attention won't stop here so keep an eye out for future updates. Additional changes will target melee from a macro-game perspective giving pilots new ways to maximize melee effectiveness when planning campaigns.
