Loot & Drops

• Regular enemies now drop at 1% instead of 2%
• Elites drop at 2% (previously varied by enemy type, now unified)

Performance — Big Gains in Heavy Fights

• AI now reduces CPU usage for distant enemies, so large waves stutter less
• After 500 kills in a run, projectile disintegrate effects are disabled and death particles are halved. You won't notice the visual difference, but the framerate holds up better

Important Bug Fixes

• Overkill Splash could crash the game. Fixed — also redesigned so excess damage now carries over to ONE enemy instead of everyone nearby. More balanced, no more free AOE
• Movement speed could get inexplicably low if you picked up an upgrade during a stun. Fixed — speed now resets correctly
• Slowmo could sometimes get stuck permanently. Multiple safety nets now detect this and reset it immediately
• Rerolling a quest reward sometimes crashed the game when the quest was cleaned up. Fixed — a new loot pool is generated instead of crashing
• Flying enemies froze due to the AI optimization. They're flying again
• HUD messages sometimes appeared in front of menus. They now always sit behind
