This update adds a commonly requested melee weapon along with a wave of QoL features. The new laser blade is a large T4 one-handed weapon whose laser blade can uniquely be turned off and on to control the cooling cost and speed boost from an empty hand.
A new repair cost mechanic has also been added for arms, legs and torsos to help ease the cost of supporting a durability oriented build. Certain parts will now cost as low as 40% of their original repair cost while certain sophisticated parts more aligned with preventing damage will cost up to 150% more.
2.24.0
Major Features
Added the LS03 Light Ray, a T4 one-handed laser blade. The laser blade can be toggled off to remove the cooling cost and increase mobility as if the hand was empty.
Added a repair cost stat to arms, torsos and legs. Parts now vary in repair cost from 40% to 150%. Parts offering greater functionality tend to cost more to repair while simpler and durability oriented parts cost less. Repair cost is listed as a +/- modifier and parts with no modifier list no additional stats.
Added additional ammunition to munitions vendors based on the number of players. Each player beyond the first will add 1 50% ammo of each type. Every two players including the first will add 1 100% ammo of each type.
Minor Features
Added the ability to adjust the grip on weapons holdable in one or two hands from within the builder.
