Patch Notes - Upper Reactor Hazards, Specials, and Gameplay Fixes

New Features

• Upper Reactor Timeline Events - Added Falcon Sweep and Reactor Platform Drop events.
• Falcon Sweep - Added pipe-to-pipe warning lanes, bomber flyby visuals, damage, and knockback for players and enemies.
• Reactor Platform Drop - Platforms now flash a warning, drop temporarily, and return to their starting positions.
• Damage-Charged Specials - Specials now charge from damage dealt instead of enemy kills, with updated HUD and Hub messaging.
• Auto Weak Point - Laser Rifle auto-targeting now focuses only on active weak points.
• Surface-Aware Movement Audio - Added surface-specific footsteps plus jump, landing, and impact audio feedback.
• Gen Animation Pass - Added expanded movement, jump, fall, landing, crawling, and shooting animation coverage.

Gameplay Improvements

• Expanded ability damage targeting so supported attacks can interact with shootable buttons, cargo and bridge controls, and explosive barrels.
• Homing projectiles can reacquire valid targets and synchronize target changes across clients.
• Flying enemies now handle obstacles more reliably and are less likely to stall or freeze in geometry.
• Upper Reactor spawn checks now avoid disconnected areas, homing attacks avoid obstructed paths, and released storage platforms recover correctly.
• Orbital Fire Control damage was tuned down for multi-enemy encounters.
• Special activation and impact audio now use the authoritative roster settings for all clients.

Bug Fixes

• Chain Lightning no longer fires or applies firing slow when no valid target is available.
• Jetpack activation now correctly requires all available jumps to be used first.
• Enemies waking from dormant simulation remain hittable and properly resume movement.
• Fixed an early network initialization error when retractable bridge buttons register.
• Improved environmental hazard hit timing and knockback consistency during Falcon Sweep.
