This week's update directly tackles the roadmap item More Enemies. Millennium Company Granvirs can now be spotted utilizing hover jets. These new enemies will pop up into the air to gain a vantage point if their line of sight is obstructed. Three new enemy Granvir variants have been added across all escalation levels.
Hover jet torsos have also been minorly reworked to make them a little more useable. All hover jet torsos will lose altitude much more slowly and their control groups can be set to toggle mode so you don't have to hold down the button. A slew of new hover jet equipped torso variants have also been added to celebrate their new found functionality.
