• Update Notes for v20240218 - 4 March 2024

  Oh hey, it's been a while! This update tweaks the balance a bit more and makes it easier to get into the groove, slightly decreasing difficulty across the board. This includes updates to enemy & hazard damage, the HP trait, healing from repair bay & bosses, and more. You'll take less damage and get more HP. All in all these changes should make it less grindy to claim your first victory over the Zeitgeber! The challenge expeditions are mostly uneffected by this update and should be at a similar difficulty level as before. Have fun, Kai

• Balance Update Notes for v20230525 - 25 May 2023

  This is another small-ish patch with a few tweaks, including: slightly reduced the Blazemaker's flamethrower damage and also nerfed the cluster grenade mod buffed some of the Defense upgrades disabled OpenXR plugins which could cause issues when a VR headset is connected (don't ask me why they were enabled in the first place) The rest of this patch focuses on challenge mode balancing: removed Monday Morning (does not apply to real life, sorry) switched some instabilities around between challenges for a smoother difficulty increase "Red Dead Retaliation" now only triggers on the following beat increased pull range of "Attractive Personality" projectiles increased "Death Traps" & "Quality Is Not Free" damage slightly increased "They Get Stronger" overall difficulty

• Balance Update Notes for v20230512 - 12 May 2023

  This update contains lots of smaller quality of life & balance tweaks, many of which were directly suggested by our community, including: buffed some traits & extensions to make progression more rewarding & noticeable increased trait limits, meaning that you can now upgrade more traits before reaching the limit (which depends on your current campaign progress) slightly reduced HP & damage of some enemies, e.g. the hunting mines and chapter 1 bosses tweaks for Challenge 6 - the "Keep Your Distance" instability now shows danger circles and has a reduced radius; "They Do Not Trust You" duration was reduced as well decreased acid movement slowdown to make it less punishing increased enemy stun duration when getting hit by a barrel moved Barry closer to the hovercar because some of you still manage to miss/ignore him, how dare you

• Balance Update Notes for v20230505 - 5 May 2023

  Based on the metrics & what we've seen, the previous balance update brought us pretty close to where we want the game's overall balance to be. This patch contains some additional, smaller tweaks: - lowered the Bouncy Ball mod's bounce projectile damage - slightly reduced Blazemaker grenade damage - front-shielded laser enemies now restore their barrier after being stunned - small adjustments to the healing amount & cost in repair bays & shops

• Balance Update Notes for v20230502 - 2 May 2023

  This is a small balance update that just tweaks a few numbers, including: increased enemy HP in later biomes, especially bosses (some phases were way too short for you to actually having to learn the mechanics) reduced shield orb drops from some enemies made the bow's power attack orb & related mods slightly less OP nerfed damage, supercharge & crit traits
