Loadouts

• Augment slots 3 and 4 are now always unlocked but can only be used with the following:

  • Augments from Foundations with 100 or more points allocated.

  • Primed augments.

  • All augments if augment Specialisation is active.

• Loadout selection locks are now stored to prevent leaving and rejoining a match to bypass them.

Matrix / Progression update

• The old Matrix tier stat has been reset for all players. They will be reused at a later date for prestiging.

  • Determines the Shell Specialisation bonus (coming soon).

  • Augments for the selected Foundation become selectable after deployment while at the 150 cap.

• Specialisations are now selectable and the system is fully implemented:

  • Unlocked by mastering or priming the required number of items within each category (eg. you can have 4 out of 5 Shells mastered, then prime the 5th to 'soft' unlock the Specialisation).

  • When active, grants additional bonuses to that category.

  • Each Specialisation has a point cost, with a maximum of 5 points available for allocation.

• Hardware 100 upgrade bonus addition:

  • Weapons and attachments selectable after deployment.

Movement tech

• Added 'Kick off dodge':

  • If performing an air dodge away from and close to a surface it will gain an additional height boost.

  • Bypasses the change of direction momentum reduction to always give full speed when used.

  • Has no air maneuver charge requirement or cost.

  • Uses the same sideways proximity check as the wall climb (can use the HUD indicators to know if close enough to surface).

• Tapping shift while hovering will now cancel hover directly into an airdash (holding shift still boosts).

Other changes

• Unstable Core adjustments to restore its sense of imminent danger when equipped and also reduce the effectiveness of the 'free' damage.

  • Being Overcharged for 30 seconds while Core is fully charged will initiate a Core Failure. Kills will set the timer back by 10 seconds.

  • The timer is visible as an overlay to the Core charge bar.

  • Venting / timer reductions require visible kills.

  • Detonation damage is now a fixed 50 - 25 vitals damage within 2 - 4 meter range.

• Hammer-Head gains 200% increased spread gain on every 4th shot (sustained fire will become inaccurate).

• Additional checks for profile update fails, including retries before kicking.
