Greetings ark hunters,
We're bringing Defiance offline on Wednesday, Sep. 6, 2017 at 10 AM PDT (5 PM GMT) for the Ex Inanis Synergy Refresh Update. Patch notesbelow.
Downtime is expected to last approximately 3 hours. If we need any additional time, or come back online early, we'll update this post.
Thanks
EX INANIS SYNERGY ROTATION
The 3 synergies in the Ex Inanis crates and on the store have been rotated. These crates now contain weapons and mods from the following synergies:
- Saturnalia
- Nano Volatility Force
- Parasitic Impetus
In addition, Py’Numbra will be rotating jackpots from the Saturnalia and Nano Volatility Force synergies.
NEW SYNERGY
New Synergy: Parasitic Impetus
[1] Damaging an enemy increases movement speed by 30% for 5s (Cooldown: 10s)
[2] -15% Reload
[3] +15% Damage
[4] On dodge roll, gain parasitic contagion for 10s (Cooldown: 15s). Parasitic contagion grants +15% life/shield steal and causes munitions to infect enemies. Infected enemies take an additional 7% damage and spawn shrill feeders when killed. Feeder attacks spread the infection.
