As of today, The Red Solstice Halloween event has started. The Red Solstice is 50% off for the duration of the Steam Halloween sale. We have included some season appropriate decorations to get you in the mood. We hope you'll enjoy them.
With this update we officially include a new game concept called prestige rank. It is aimed for our veteran players. Every player can now gain up to five prestige ranks by sacrificing the amount of XP needed to reach the maximum rank (2222222 XP) for one rank. Each rank grants player one additional starting and maximum energy point plus 10% bonus XP. For example, player with 2223222 Xp could get one point and be left with 1000 XP.
Some game mechanics mechanics have been slightly rebalanced and some minor bugs were fixed. Most notably, vindicator friendly fire and slowdown effect has been reduced, precise fire and assault vanguard have been rebalanced. Also, veteran marines will no longer display a popup, but will show details on LCTRL instead. Follower HP has been increased by 100.
List of all changes can be found in the in-game changelog.
