Patch 14.3: Poison Dart Buff, Proton Beam Buff and More!

Here are the notes for Patch 14.3!

Balance

  • Series EV2 Proton Beam
    • The end result of these changes should make the Proton Beam stronger than what it currently is but not as strong as it was before the Power Surge update:
    • Defense Power ratio increased 0.4 -> 0.6
    • Defense Crit Damage ratio increased 1.0 -> 1.15
    • Defense Power upgrade ratios decreased to 1.0 -> 1.3 -> 1.6 -> 1.9 -> 2.2
    • Defense Crit Damage upgrade ratios fixed and set to the same as Defense Power upgrade ratios
    • Fixed bug that was making Crit Damage scale incorrectly. It should now scale per upgrade instead of maxing out at Tier 1.

  • Series EV2 Reflect Beam

    • Defense Power ratio increased 12 -> 15
    • Defense Power upgrade ratios decreased to 1.0 -> 1.1 -> 1.2 -> 1.3 -> 1.4
    • Defense Crit Damage ratios fixed and set to the same as Defense Power upgrade ratios
    • Radius increased 250 -> 300
    • Fixed bug that was making Crit Damage scale incorrectly.

  • Weapon Manufacturer

    • Fixed a minor Defense Speed scaling bug (now properly scales, slightly, with Defense Speed).

  • Poison Dart Tower

    • Poison Dart Tower's Poison Damage can now exceed the 20,000 per tick, per stack Damage Cap. You should no longer hit a damage cap.

Bug Fixes

  • Removed unused values on the Inspect Defense tooltip for the Proton Beam, Reflect Beam and Weapon Manufacturer.
  • DPS, ATK Damage and several other values will now display on the Inspect Defense tooltip for the Proton Beam, Reflect Beam and Weapon Manufacturer. (DPS on Reflect Beam and Weapon Manufacturer is not calculated correctly and will be fixed in a future update.)
  • Buff Beam now displays proper fields on the Inspect Defense tooltip.
  • Special Delivery, Boom Headshot, Howdoken and Firing My Lazer challenges will now properly track progress.
  • Special Delivery Steam Achievement should now properly unlock once the requirements are met.
  • Fixed a bug where if a player did not answer the prompt when the party leader transitions, the leader eventually left the map but the party was not disbanded.
