Knights and mercs, heists across the New Boston Zone are dropping onto a new, dangerous rooftop map with Update #225. We've added a new map, added new cosmetic options, added new facial cyberware options (limited but ready to grow), improved some weapon and mod balancing, map bugs, and fixed every F10 that had the word "typo" in it!
We're hard at work expanding and improving the game from every angle - so please take a moment to leave a review and share the game with a friend.
Weekly Map Release: Rooftop Hoverport
Another week, another map! Rooftop Hoverport is the open-air top of a towering skyrise, and is positively dripping with hovertruck landing zones. It has dangerously wide open sight lines - making it both a playground for your Sniper, but difficult to prevent enemies from returning fire, as well as the risk that reinforcements might come from any of the hovertruck drops at any minute. Due to the challenging nature of this compressed-but-open map, Rooftop Hoverport only appears at Power Level 4 or higher.
This week's new map brings the map total to 30 for proc-gen missions and adds an additional +8 proc-gen combos to raise the total now to 222! It is exciting to see the Rooftop Hoverport immediately crossing the latest objective types, including Exfiltrate, Infiltrate and Download, and Hardened Target.
Having just completed a 3rd new objective type (Exfiltrate, Infiltrate and Download, and Hardened Target), we are turning our attention back to the weekly map releases as well as how these new objective types can be looped into the Power Play and Compromised system for Contacts. Then we'll be switching back for a few final objective types before release to round out the set and really blow up the numbers!
New Glasses + Cybernetics Cosmetics
With Update #225, we've added a few new options for your character's appearance and opened a very exciting new category - cybernetics - even if it is still a bit empty today!
First up, there are two cool new eyewear options - some larger, glowing circular glasses as well as a new type of chrome eyeband that fits very tightly and has some cool tinting options.
Second, we've moved the forehead jack cybernetic out of the Hats category (why was it there?) and into its own Cybernetics category. We've fixed it so that you can adjust the color tinting of the light and also added a second option that allows you to pick your side (left or right) for the jack. And if you're really ambitious, just go left AND right. That is the way to do it, you elite hacker, you.
With the cybernetics category now opened, we'll be pushing to add other plates, jacks, eye cybernetics, and other things to this group that will help you get your mercs properly dripping in chrome. Stay tuned!
Weapon / Mod Adjustments
We've completed a round of rebalancing for the noise reduction stats for rarer AR Suppressors including the Stormstrike, Proxium and Deathspitter, each one reduce a bit more noise than before. In addition we've fixed an issue with the UAR Torch XL not doing Pure Damage in Full Auto and adjusted the balance of the E-Blades Atomic W2 and Atomica M2.
The "DialogQuip.XYZ" issue
If you were running into any issue with dialog being replaced with a codename for a specific quip, this was fixed in a hotfix between releases. Sorry for the issue - it is one of the final small bugs caused by our preparation for pushing the translation process forward.
We also did a major drive on typos, fixing every F10 that had the word "typo" in it. That took a few hours and triggered a number of large-scale grammar and spelling checks on the game dialog, so hopefully things are in better shape now. As always, thanks for your F10s!
