THE GATLER
An absolute monster of a turret with massive range. The Gatler takes a while to spin up, but once it gets going it turns into a deadly ammo eating bullet hose that can shred targets at a distance. Accuracy suffers at high fire rates. Has finite ammo and needs to periodically reload.
The Gatler has a set of artifact mods that include multi-shot, penetrate, instant reload and freeze wave.
NEW RANDOMIZED MAPS
-CONDUIT: A huge map inspired by Chamber, with tantalizing routes on the sides forcing you to make some hard choices.
-DIVERGENCE: A large map that focuses on bridge routing and double backing.
-PLATFORM: A large square grid map that may seem simple at first, but will test your maze building prowess.
NEW HAND BUILT MAPS
-ANNEX: A nasty little map that appears trivial, but is surprisingly unwilling to give up space for maze construction.
-EXCHANGE: A 2 level map that requires some real 4D thinking.
-SPRINT: A simple direct line path with platforms dedicated to building the best kill-box ever!
NEW TILES
-NOXIOUS TILE: Creeps that trudge through this tile are probably calling in sick tomorrow.
-SPARK TILE: Creeps that step on this tile are in for a shock.
CONTROLLER MODE IMPROVEMENTS (Still experimental)
-Controller mode has been changed to have 3 states (Full, Menu Only, Off).
-Full mode allows you to select menu buttons with the D-pad, and to use A and B to place and deselect objects.
-Menu Only mode forces the d-pad menu selection to stay active at all times (recommended for Steam Deck users).
-Controller UI tweaks and improvements.
