A new shoulder part, Berserker Plumes arrive this update as part of an ongoing plan to improve the effectiveness of melee only builds. Berserker Plumes are heat management shoulder modules that vent a large amount of heat when heat reaches extreme levels. This new part gives melee only Granvirs a powerful part option for filling any open shoulder ports.
On top of the new parts, many existing parts have gained melee damage reduction to help them tough out a brawl. Finally, most high rarity legs have had their dash heat cost reduced to free up the amount of heat available for swinging melee weapons and escaping reactor explosions.
The melee only attention won't stop here so keep an eye out for future updates. Additional changes will target melee from a macro-game perspective giving pilots new ways to maximize melee effectiveness when planning campaigns.
