SYNTHETIK News

Great for experienced players, makes the early game much harder and more engaging to play. Increases the difficulty of the first floor (or 10 Waves) significantly, but not the ones afterwards.

Give the Arena Standalone a try, tell your friends who

Hey everyone! The next large update is here!
With this update we wanted to mainly enrich the attachment system
and give some sort of high end goal for each class after level 25. We also worked on controllers, performance and removed the stutters on slow harddrives! We also added Steam Trading cards, Backgrounds and Badges!





New Attachment - Silver Bullet Alloy
New Attachment - Backup Printer
New Attachment - Last Straw


We added new rare attachments which can occur when using an upgrade kit!
(You notice them on their golden color)

New Rare Attachment - Wormhole Gen-3
New Rare Attachment - Spreader
New Rare Attachment - Eraser Cell
New Rare Attachment - Tri-Bolt Cycle
New Rare Attachment - Cranial Targeting CPU
New Rare Attachment - Ammo TP MK2
New Rare Attachment - Super Heavy Compound
New Rare Attachment - Eternium Amalgan
New Rare Attachment - Lucky Dangle
New Rare Attachment - Multiplier (Old reworked)
New Rare Attachment - Hotswap (Old reworked)

With the new attachments we wanted to make weapon upgrades less predictable and more exciting, feel more like most other elements of the game. These can be pretty overpowered with the right weapon, but also be way worse, so be careful!







Base Challenge:

Beat the final boss at 140% or higher with a class to get
a small bonus for all classes, depending on the class you used!

Insanity Challenge:

Beat the final boss at 180% and madness, tactical and hyper adrenaline at 140%
Beating the Insanity challenge grants a small new class perk!

Engineer - (Example) Killing an enemy has a 5% chance to revive it as friendly for a duration
Riotguard - ???
Breacher - ???
Sniper - ???
Assassin - ???
Raider - ???
Heavy Gunner - ???
Demolisher - ???





We added Steam Trading cards (12 Total), a set of Badges and Backgrounds and emotes you can earn by playing! These can be traded and sold on the marketplace.




The Q button now switches between the last weapon back and forth, no longer cycles through all buttons - The same counts for the A button on Controller - there is a setting for the old behaviour. (Mousewheel / DPad still switches through weapons as usual)


Controller Free look can be activated any time by pressing left bumper, which should be much more convenient!

New: Modules / Stat upgrade selection popup now has a D-Pad interface
New: Items can now be dropped with the D-Pad and the message is included in the tooltip
New: Added aiming helpers on controller


Performance is increased in general and we found and removed the hard stutters that could happen on some machines! - More details further below

• Sniper level 0 reworked, no longer grants damage absorption, now has a special shield which starts less shield but gains 20% shield per headshot and gains 3 max shield per headshot kill, which makes early less overpowered and mid-lategame less weak

• Special ammo supply starts with one more charge

• Divine drops have a new effect

• Fragile effect reduced by 50%
  
• Fragile Hp max can no longer go below 200
  
• Reduced enemy aiming speed scaling slightly

• From our tests, the heavy stutters on slower hard-drives are now 99% gone!
  
  
• Improved missile performance, reduced length of trail, changed colors of varied missiles
  
• Missile trail now is shorter with reduced particle setting, varied missile got slightly different trails
  
• Missile trail now spawns less overlapping trails depending on the setting, reducing trail object amount by factor 2-3 but looks worse, still looking into it

• The ground color is now baked into the floor surface, increasing performance slightly
  
• Flying dust particles are now affected by particle setting
  
• Drawing of enemies when offscreen is now more performant, and even better in solo play

(We will deploy a small patch early next week to fix any leftover issues, and which will enable coop for the madness, tactical and adrenaline mode.)

Here again big thanks to everybody who voted and reviewed the game during Autumn sale. We broke the 750 ratings mark, you are awesome! We also have something cool planned for december so stay tuned!
- FF

Hey everyone!
We are glad that Legion Rising is so well recieved and this update is more of a "day one" update that adresses most issues that came up with the Addon, as well as doing an final balance iteration for the classes.

We are now very happy with the standing of the classes (as of the following changes) and the statistics and feedback now represent our expectations very well. That said, here we go:

UPDATE 20.1 - Class and Exp changes

Experience:

Class experience is now much faster for level 5-20 (Around 2-3x)
Experience gained is now shown while playing with a bar at the bottom of the screen
And directly applied, no longer after the match. The deathscreen still shows a recap however. (Keep in mind the Loop grants reduced experience as it is meant for fun and optional, not for endless grind.)

Originally posted by Shrike

With double the amount of classes, leveling should be faster and Legion did not make that change. Leveling also became more important, and as such it is made faster to hit that level 15. There is a hard balance to strike here to keep long time players engaged but not frustrate people with little time. Maybe we overdid it a little with the Exp Token, but we will keep an eye out.

New Daily-Login Experience Boost:

Login bonus now grants a Experience token!
The token lasts 1000 seconds or until you die and you get 3x Experience while it is active!
This will make it much easier to level if you don't have much time to play.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Riotguard:

• Cooldown of Battlecry slightly increased, scaling adjusted
  
• Tomahawk extra throw chance increased 10 > 15
  
• Can now drop the starting pistol
  
• Riotshield ammo gain / cap from 30/60 to 35/70
  
• Riotshield heat increased
  
• Shield bash damage slightly increased
  
• Now is granted 10% movement speed in boss rooms to be on par with default
  

Originally posted by Shrike

Riotguard is one of the most played classes, is very versatile and has very strong Perks later on, and already was in a very good place - maybe a little bit overperforming but nothing critical

Breacher:

• Breaching charge is thrown 20 range further and baseline charges cap 2 > 3
  
• Level 5 Perk now additionally grants a stim effect when entering a room and heals a bit
  
• (Breacher has a really insane level 25)
  
• Breacher now moves slightly faster than default (Fastest of all classes)
  
• Breacher shield no longer has longer delay than default and regens 25% faster
  
• Breacher now takes reduced explosion damage (35% - You still gotta learn how to use the charge)
  
• Level 5 Perk still dosn't work - we didn't know - Fixed next week
  
  
• Super shorty has a new firingsound, deviation and damage slightly increased
  
• Breacher has new level 15 Passive, granting penetration for shotgun ammo
  
• Shieldburst now also grants breacher stacks
  

Originally posted by Shrike

Breacher is a higher risk / reward class and more aimed towards an advanced player. He did not lack in power before but is more rounded-off now, and will be in a very good state when the level 5 Perk is working again

Sniper:

• Level 15 Perk is now included in the level 0 Perk
  
• Level 15 Perk is now granting level 0 standing bonuses when using Targetlaser
  
• (the shield regen per distance was not really working)
  
• Sniper Maximum Shield +25
  
• Flash grenade deals higher base damage
  
• Laser is now red
  
• Fixed Headhunter perk refreshing 10x of intended value in shields
  

Originally posted by Shrike

Sniper deals very high burst damage but really has to pay attention which we like a lot, he just was a little too overly squishy

Assassin:

• Shield-regen delay time from 50% longer than normal to 25% faster than normal!
  
• Shield Max increased by 50
  
• Now takes 10% reduced health damage
  
• Level 15 perk now properly grants credits
  
• Core Healing scaling reduced as dagger provides extreme sustain
  
• Core Damage baseline increased, scaling reduced slightly
  
• Level 20 Perk now properly uses ammo
  
• Blood borne nerfed
  
• Stealth item now stops channeling when out of stealth
  
• Fixed smoke grenade changing stats incorrectly when vanishing and removing all dodge
  
• Black Market Teleporter no longer works in final Boss room
  

Originally posted by Shrike

The Assassin is the probably hardest class and intended to be more niche - He does very well at what he was supposed too but the shield nerf was too extreme. Now he has a faster shield and is not deleted as instantly. He still has the highest sustain from all classes but clearly at the highest risk.

Raider:

• Blade no longer heals when not hitting a target
  
• Core Perk no longer goes to 3 stacks by spamming dash alone
  
• New Level 5 Perk - Blade kills instantly reset the blade
  
• Blade cooldown 8 > 12 seconds
  
• Blade damage decreased from 700 to 600
  

Originally posted by Shrike

Raider is very mobile and well rounded, his performance was as we expected and one of the player favourites but now he has even higher skill-cap with the Blade resets. We will keep an eye out on the Blade balance however

Heavy Gunner:

• Now has a small light at the player when using onslaught system
  
• Hard Light cover no longer explodes when destroyed, regens way more shield
  
• Fixed issue where he had old stats changes applied for a previous iteration of the class
  
• (means more movement accuracy and less firing slowdown)
  
• Now has default headshot value
  
• LG-2 ammo printing effect now is 10% of spare ammo instead of 5 (same at default)
  
• LG-2 ammo printing now also reloads the same into the magazine
  
• Fixed level 15 perk not granting an upgrade kit
  
• Onslaught System now gives proper double shot chance and firerate (fix)
  
• Onslaught System now gives more base ammo regen but scales less
  
• Perk Core flashes when suppression is applying on shots
  
• Now is granted 10% movement speed in boss rooms to be on par with default
  

Originally posted by Shrike

Heavy gunner got a lot of quality of life changes and fixes, but maybe we will still change how the LG-2 gains its ammo

Engineer:

• Fixed Auto-Overclocker now gives 2-3 scrap on kill instead of 1 (actually was a bug)
  
• Overclocker Friendly units heal increased from 50%+ 500 to 65% + 500,
  
• (Player temporary health gain unchanged from 400, which is still very good)
  
• Sentry turret duration slightly increased from 4+10s to 5+15s
  
• Drone Zeal duration calculation improved
  
• Level 5 Perk now is at level 10

• Level 15 perk now works at 15, not 10
  
  
• Missile Drone Item has more health and works like other summons
  
• Spider Mine Item now has a cap on stacks, also gains stacks from ultra kills
  
• Well Oiled now also displays a popup message when proccing
  
• Fixed prestige bonus not working
  

Originally posted by Shrike

The Engineer was clearly underperforming, we did remove his shield bonus at the last minute which was a mistake and is now reverted, and he got some very good buffs. As the specialist class before, he will still be more of a niche character that has a lot of potential and ways to be played for a more experimenting player

Demolisher:

• New Baseline Perk which grants shield per second while ejecting+reloading which is pretty
• strong and helps with survivability a lot when using launchers especially
  
• Now starts with 100 additional max health
  
• Level 10 talent now also grants reduced explosion damage taken
  
• M79 and RPG-7 have a higher chance to drop when playing as demolisher
  
• (Actually M79 was not even in the normal loot table)

The Demolisher was a bit underperforming, but the new shield bonus makes low-ammo launchers/weapons way better than before and greatly helps at survival. While the single shot weapons are hard to handle and maybe give a poor first impression, the demolisher really has insane damage potential while being rather tanky, we will keep an eye on him still.

Both engineer and demolisher scale well into mid-lategame which is not to underestimate and we think both now have at least on-par performance
