New Feature: Buff Stones (Meta-Progression)
A new meta-progression system has been added, Buff Stones. Stones persist across matches and give your guns permanent damage boosts.
Stones
- Stones come in 3 tiers, each granting a flat damage multiplier to specific gun colors:
- Tier 1: +10% | Tier 2: +20% | Tier 3: +30%
- Each stone has a color (matching the game's 10 gun colors) and one or more color-specific buff slots
- Equipping a stone in the matching drone color slot grants an additional +10% bonus
Post-Victory Rewards
- After winning a match, you receive 2 Buff Stones — their colors are drawn from the enemy types you defeated in that run
