Hi friends,
Update 5 has gone live! This Update includes two major new classes to the game, as well as a range of animation overhauls, bug fixes, new weapons and more!
New Classes
Grenadier
An expert in things that go boom, the Grenadier class focuses on dealing enhanced explosive damage. The chip upgrades and class unlocks revolve around both damage dealt and received by explosives.
Lunatic
An absolute maniac, the Lunatic is essentially a rebel whose ferociousness and unpredictability has led the robots to mark them as a high priority target. Lunatic runs will pose a significantly greater challenge. If you’re feeling a bit unhinged and would like to test your mettle, this is the class for you.
New Weapons
Sawed-Off Shotgun
A single-handed compact shotgun perfect for tight spots.
Tier 1 Grenade Launcher
A single-handed, single-shot grenade launcher. Spawns on lower-level enemies.
New Animations
We reworked almost every weapon with improved hand positioning, new firing and reload animations. Actions now slide back and forth, cylindrical magazines now rotate, lights on the weapon flash up, triggers are finally interactive.
Massive Cleanup
We’ve also focused a lot of efforts on cleanups and improvements of our core systems. Our inventory and object tracking is a lot more robust. We’ve fixed many smaller quality of life issues. We also reworked how our levels and rooms are loaded to minimize load time while reducing memory usage.
This investment allows us to be even more efficient moving forward on further development of the game.
We’re Actively Updating
This is our fifth major update since launch. We’re committed to updating the game often, listening to the community for feedback and striving to create the best possible experience.
For a full list of bug fixes and improvements, check out our release notes attached below.
We continue to actively monitor any and all player feedback, allowing us to stay reflective and consider suggestions that could enhance everyone's experience! You can check out our roadmap here!
