Hey everyone! We have a BIG update here - we added an BRAND NEW RARITY to the end-game for Deadtime Defenders!
APEX is a new rarity (red) available to players who've reached level 30. APEX weapons come with either 2 talents and 3 mod slots, or 1 talent and 4 mods slots. APEX costumes come with 2 talents. APEX mods, costumes, and weapons, all have increased stats. You can't buy APEX items, you must find them from looting.
We also added 4 new costume talents, fixed a ton of bugs, and improved more of the UI / UX.
We can't wait to hear what kind of dual talented items everyone finds!
