[p]This hotfix sneaks in a simple 4 screen tutorial at the start of your first mission. It explains the primary objective, your secondary goals, how to dodge attacks and disrupt targeting with melee and when to consider leaving the mission. [/p][p]The content of these tutorials is based on common feedback, questions and knowledge gaps observed across the forums and Discord so thank you for sharing your feedback and experiences.[/p][p]The newly added tutorials have been included at the bottom of this post. If you'd like to see a tutorial of this style anywhere else please let me know.[/p][p]2.0.14[/p]

[p]This hotfix aims to address difficulty related feedback in regards to melee and enemy density. Enemies will now block each other's line of sight and as a result will be unable to fire at a target surrounded by their allies. Additionally, reactor explosions occur slightly later to increase the window to escape on early less mobile builds.[/p][p]Besides melee targeted adjustments, many difficulty related changes have been made to the Zero Front campaign. Zero Front was likely the hardest campaign due to the massively reduced player agency and rapid pace of the progression. Unlucky drops in one mission could end a campaign without any strong rest activities to make up for it and a significantly harder mission coming next. Additional items have been added to every supply pod to lean further into Zero Front's identity as a fast paced campaign focused on the missions and the overall spawn budget for each mission has been reduced.[/p][p]2.0.13[/p][h3]Difficulty[/h3]
