Eximius Update - August 13th, 2020

Hello Officers,

In this minor update, we are putting up some internal analytics for the purpose of running stress tests with G.Round platform. There will be a one-off popup that will appear to collect information from the platform testers. If you’re not part of it, just go ahead and skip it. Along with this , we are also pushing some minor balance fixes; more specifically weapon balancing. Some of the more notable changes would be that Fall Off damage has been added to GSF ATR & AXR AMPAW. Additionally, SATM will now deal splash damage to AXR Aegis’s Exo Shield.

You may have noticed that this update is taking a bit more space than usual. That’s because we’re doing some groundwork to prepare the tech & engine update required for 1.0. Along with the engine update, we will be upgrading our back-end to anticipate for a bigger 1.0 launch.
As a result, we're developing the 1.0 build in parallel so the changes you see here aren't reflective of what we’ve been working on. The roadmap will be announced soon.

Let us know what you think about the balance changes. As usual you can reach out to us directly on the Steam Forum or our Discord Channel.
