Mutant Behavior
Mutants now behave differently based on their weapon type
- Bullet (Overreacts): Lays down suppressive fire when you take cover
- Energy (Evasive): Fires weapon then moves to a friendly mutant.
- Explosive (Cowardly): Fires weapon then runs for cover.
- Melee (Aggressive): Charges around corners into the unknown.
- Shells (Guerilla): Fires weapon then takes a quick sidestep.
- We plan to expand these behavioural differences even further!
