Do you eat Green Berets for breakfast? You'll wish you did, because this update brings two new enemy types to the table, and they've already skipped a meal!
The Champions!
He (far left) can spawn as an improvement to enemy type except the Hunter, and is tougher, meaner, more aggressive and more deadly than the standard enemy types. To meet him is to fear him. To kill him is to revel in lots of gold, ammo and health! Also, we've made sure the player knows which bad guys are going to drop health or ammo, and added a rich bad guy who drops more cash than anyone else. It keeps the combat interesting, depending on how greedy, healthy or generous with your bullets you are :D (just remember it won't be the same every time!)
The Radio Guy!
This guy keeps his distance and then calls in backup - of any kind! Watch out for Champion versions too, as they're more liekly to spawn in Champion versions of their own making... it can escalate quckly!
Other than the new bad guys, we've been focusing on multiplayer fixes, tons of cool new particle effects, weapon and enemy balancing, new seeds for the Island level set, and of course addressing your wonderful feedback.
