This week's update focuses on fixes but also introduces a handful of new combination weapons to tier 4. The new weapons combine harpoon and grappling cannons with low accuracy cannons.
A number of changes and improvements have also been made to control groups. Many control groups now have more specific names and weapons like the new combination weapons will have extra text to describe which weapon the group controls.
Changes to automatic binding will now more commonly avoid overlaps even when your previous assignment to that category of control group would conflict. The new system favors assigning each weapon to its own control group over combining weapons into one control group so you may need to rebind more frequently if you tended to put your left and right weapon into the same group.
2.13.0
Major Features
Added the MN04 Trawler, a harpoon cannon with a built in rifle.
Added the MN03 Pathfinder, a grappling pistol with a built in sub machine gun.
Added a T4 Skewer variant, a side mounted cannon with a harpoon and ammo efficient auxiliary cannon.
Added a T4 Sabertooth variant, a rifle with a chainsaw bayonet.
Minor Features
Updated the control group names of some attacks to be more specific.
Added an extra qualifier to control group names for combination weapons with multiple of the same attack.
User control group binding preference will no longer allow control group overlap if sharing conditions are not met. This primarily effects handheld weapons and should make key sharing much less likely when holding two handheld weapons.

All objectives are now marked as primary.
An objective for reaching extracting has been added after the facility is destroyed.
The package pickup compass marker will only be visible while the package is on the ground.
Reworded "Survive the Detonation" to "Escape the Detonation".
Added a growing indicator to highlight the edge of the blast radius.
Balance
Increased the damage of HP01 and HP02 Skewer by 50%.
Increase the damage of the HC04 Sabertooth chainsaw bayonet by 50%.
