v0.5.4
Weapon Perks
- New Perks: Cool Offense, Cool Support and Cool Special
- These perks will reduce skill cooldowns for any currently equipped skills in that particular category
- The effect stacks if the player is holding both a primary and secondary weapon with the same perk!
- For now these are exclusive to weapons from the Nazuna Group, although an as-yet unreleased manufacturer may also gain access to them in the future
- New Perk: Zapper
- Enemies damaged by the weapon will have a chance to chain static damage to other nearby enemies
- Look for Zheng and Kadru weapons to try out this new form of crowd-control
- New Perk: Megaton
- This perk increases the blast radius for explosive weapons including Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers
- It can be found on explosive weapons from the Chatka Collective and AzTek
- Manufacturer Perk Rebalance
- All of the perks have been adjusted depending on Manufacturer to provide players with unique and strategic options:
- AzTek weapons have new incendiary potential across the board and other various new perks
- Chatka weapon libraries now all have the ability to damage Bots and Bugs as intended, while explosives can potentially cover a much larger AOE
- Kadru drops are now much more chaotic with the ability to roll almost any non-specialty perk, sometimes matching up into highly synergized combos and sometimes…not
- Nazuna weapon perk libraries have been totally redesigned to help players with a Skill-heavy playstyle (much of their old perk library has been folded into Olorun)
- Olorun weapon libraries have all gained the potential to improve critical hit chance and have more highly curated and synergized perks on a per-weapon basis (this comes at the cost of ammo-expanding perks of all kinds, which have been removed from the Manufacturer)
- Wolf weapons that were not previously allowing for Bot Damage or Full Auto are now able to roll those perks as intended
- Zheng weapons were not able to roll Beast Damage on most weapons but this has now been fixed; their entire family of primary weapons now also has access to Brawler and Zapper to promote their close-quarters playstyle
