There will be more data and proper atribution here (original author, steam link, original post date, etc) real soon, I promise. This is just like a technical test to see if they're coming in ok at all.
Impaler » Sharpen Your Swords!
Hey everyone!
Update #5, focused on WEAPONS, is now available!
It introduces a brand new melee weapon, that is very different from every other piece in the arsenal. The Sword allows you to cut down foes at a close range, but also its shattering shards will surely reach distant enemies.
We’re also reintroducing Pump Shotgun as a unique weapon, and overhauling The Harvester. On top of that, all weapons have received a visual update!
Here are the full patch notes:
- Added new unlockable weapon – Sword
- Reintroduced Pump Shotgun as a unique weapon
- Balance overhaul of the Harvester (kind of like the Flak Cannon from Unreal Tournament)
- Added 4 new unique weapon upgrades for sword and Harvester
- Improved each weapon’s art
- Player air control increased by 40%
- Evil offering no longer jumps around because it’s annoying
- Cluster nades no longer emit mini nades on a direct hit (causes some cheap one-hit kills)
- Slimes no longer emit projectiles when detonating on the player (avoids cheap one-hit kills on player)
- Bullet time AOE perk reworked to shoot a wall of grenades in front of you (more effective now)
- Retractor obstacles retract when shot by player
- Changed “Heavy Foot” achievement to only require killing 3 enemies instead of 5 (more achievable given the balance changes to stomp splash damage)
- All first and third person weapon art has been enhanced
- Improved various particle effects such as explosions
- Improved sound randomization
- Audio balance improvements
- New bullet casing sprites
- Minor improvements to weapon recoil animations
- Weapons have new, unique names
- New more stylized font for all menus
- Reworked the weapons select screen to include a second page of weapons
- Max vertical FOV increased to 95 degrees
