Attention all Heirs!
The biggest gameplay adjustment in this patch is for the way the generator handles damage. Instead of only one hit for its destruction, it will now take a small amount of damage every time it is hit by the Plethora. The damage adds to the Overdrive Meter, and when it fills up, the generator is destroyed. A pass over the Heirs has Lauren now with a wrist mounted Shock Pack dealing fast electric damage at short range. Maven's Gas Canister Launcher does damage over time to the afflicted Plethora, plus any Plethora close by.
Finally, the last level is now playable as the last level of the Tutorial. This will give players a chance to try a shuttle launch mission in a low stakes environment, as well as get an early chance to see some of the Heir selection options.
