New build is up! As you may have seen on our twitter, this build brings a dangerous new boss to the mix. He’ll periodically shoot out an ice ball that will freeze your nearby turrets - but if you shoot it first, it will freeze *him* and prevent him from firing for a time. He can be very deadly if not dealt with quickly!
We’ve also added in a new wave popup - it will show up before every wave, with a corresponding audio clip to let you know how dangerous the incoming enemies are. For now there is a warning for elite/buffed guys, and an alarm when big bosses are coming in - so you know what needs to be dealt with ASAP! The spawn path will also briefly visualize at the start of each wave, so you know where everything is coming from.
Since you’re now warned before a big baddie comes on the board, we’ve buffed up the bosses and made them into real threats. The Behemoth can now shut down your towers much faster, and his self-healing kicks in quicker as well. The aforementioned ice boss is an absolute beast. Some of the other larger enemies have gotten a health boost as well, so be on your guard!
To finish off, you can now transition between guns without ever leaving the mobile gun platform. If you move to another commander’s turret, simply press ‘z’ or mouse 2 to swap to their gun instead.
And now for your regular patch notes.
