New Features
A new boss has been added. This boss has special spawn conditions that the community will need to discover, and drops exclusively unique modules when slain
5 more new Unique modules have been added
Trashman's Customer Satisfaction Program can now be upgraded to Stage 2
Unique modules can now be augmented at Tim the Gnome's cottage through a rather unusual approach he's devised
A new game mode and leaderboard has been added - Duos Tournament. This new mode is for those who'd like to compete in a monthly multiplayer progression tournament
Several new world events have been added
Tim the Gnome now offers the ability to deliberately grow the Swarmlands for a price
The Hintervale Clearing region now falls into two difficulty tiers. After defeating all 4 "Warden" bosses, the second tier unlocks. This is only used for one feature currently, but further features will be added that use this as we approach EA
A new codex has been added for unique modules that have been discovered. This is a point-forward codex, so you'll need to find one more of that unique if you've already previously discovered it before the entry unlocks
A new affix filter has been added to enable the ability to filter for a combination of affixes that rolled above a certain value
It's now possible to give modules to other players that have been found during a multiplayer run. For now this can only be done mid-run. Eventually it'll also be available between runs
