[p]Hello valued employees! [/p][p]We’ve been toying around with the idea of a roguelike mode for a while. As it so happens, our upgrade system is a lot of fun in a roguelike, so here we are with the
new OUROBOROS mission! [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Launching Ouroboros temporarily clears all of your upgrades - you find and equip new ones as you progress through rooms. At the end of a run, you’ll have the opportunity to cleanse some of these upgrades to keep them around forever![/p][p]In Ouroboros, almost
every upgrade is stackable. As you might imagine, this can lead to some insane builds! And because it’s a roguelike, it’s totally fine to get overpowered for a run. You can also find upgrades in Ouroboros that you haven’t yet discovered permanently.[/p][p]Ouroboros introduces a new upgrade rarity: Contraband. Making these Contrabands exclusive to Ouroboros lets us do some crazy shit. We’re really excited to see what these can do to your roguelike builds.[/p][p]And due to popular demand,
Oddity upgrades are much more common in Ouroboros - but they are expensive to cleanse![/p][p]

[/p][h2]New Upgrades[/h2][p]We’ve got some cool new upgrades for you to collect! Let’s take a look![/p]
- [p]Dead or Alive (Wrangler Exotic) - You periodically mark a nearby medium or large enemy for death, gaining increased damage against it. Killing a marked enemy moves the mark to another nearby enemy.[/p]
- [p]Synthetic Adrenaline (Wrangler Epic) - Gain increased fire rate and reload speed when under full health.[/p]
- [p]Cannonball (Bruiser Exotic) - Slide in the air to cannonball downwards at great speeds. Hitting the ground with enough force triggers a special Nose Dive impact that deals increased damage but has less potent effects.[/p]
- [p]One-Two Punch (Bruiser Epic) - Landing a Nose Dive briefly increases the damage of your next Hard-Light Projector.[/p]
- [p]Explosive Personality (Scrapper Exotic) - Create an elemental explosion when you collect a large health chunk. Collecting smaller health chunks provides a stacking damage boost. Enemy \[cores] always drop at least 1 health chunk.[/p]
- [p]Vending Machine (Scrapper Epic) - Your Grapple Pole creates a health chunk when placed, and creates more small chunks while grappling. Depleting a pole's energy creates a bunch of health chunks.[/p]
- [p]Saxonite Shackles (Glider Exotic) - Hold Q to create a cloud of Saxonite where you're looking that immobilizes enemies and makes grunts float.[/p]
- [p]Gravity Well (Glider Epic) - Small health chunks orbit you and wait to popup until you've taken enough damage.[/p]
- [p]Structural Survey (Player Epic) - Highlights low-health enemy parts.[/p]
- [p]Grenade Belt (Grenade Exotic) - Sliding will periodically throw out your grenade without consuming a charge. Stacking this upgrade throws additional grenades.[/p]
- [p]\[REDACTED] (Grenade Exotic)[/p]
- [p]In For A Penny (Grenade Epic) - Taking damage from any source other than your grenade provides some grenade charge.[/p]
- [p]Boundary Incursion (Oddity) - Increases \[REDACTED].[/p]
[p]
Plus a selection of new Contraband upgrades! But we'll keep the rest of those a surprise...[/p][p][/p][h2]The Codex[/h2][p]The Codex is a new inventory tab that lists every weapon, upgrade, and skin in the game! Selecting an upgrade or weapon will tell you how it’s acquired (unless it’s really secret). And if you care about collecting everything, this is where you can find what you’re missing.[/p][p]The Codex also lists out all data logs you’ve discovered so you can read through Roachard’s private emails whenever you want.[/p][p][/p][h2]Pocket Reload[/h2]
