UPDATE 7

Features & Improvements

 

Anti-Griefer Solutions

• After a minute of inactivity (AFK) a warning with a 15-second timer is displayed. If players remain inactive for that period, they are transitioned back to Devil’s Gambit.
• Added a time limit to the hacking minigames to enhance gameplay and to prevent griefer’s blocking progression.

 

Easy to Access & Bug Free Skills /Talents

• Added skill, synergy, and team aura preview manuals during character selection.
• Added video manuals that show how to use skills, synergies, and team auras in the character progress view.
• Improved the character progress bar.
• Added animation for unlocking enhancements slots.

 

Full Screen Map

• A toggleable full-screen map UI has been added to improve mission navigation. Additionally, both the full-screen map and the minimap now display chests, players, and mission objectives.

 

Improved Mission Start UI 

• To ensure mission loading is not accidentally cancelled players must hold the button to successfully cancel a mission.

 

Improved Navigation System in Devil's Gambit

• A Help button is now available in Devil’s Gambit. If needed, players can use the Help button to navigate to the next available event.

 

Quick Communication System

• Four quick communication messages were added to the 4 lower slots in the emotes wheel, which is now called the Communication Wheel. Players can use these emotes to communicate with each other during missions. The selected message appears in the read-only text chat and plays a voice-over sound effect.
• Communication options:
  • “Follow Me” (marks the player with an icon)
  • “Wait”
  • “Help me!” (marks the player with an icon)
  • “OK”

 

Spor

• Added new sound effects.
• Fixed several level art issues.

 

The Crack

• Crack resources now drop from enemies.
• Removed chests.

 

Game Optimisations

• Reworked the shooting system for the following weapons:
  • Raffler
  • Breacher
  • Thresher
  • Oldboy
  • The Twins
• Optimized the mission loading and matchmaking time so players quickly progress from relay to gameplay.

 

Gameplay

• Quick consecutive melee attacks now play the correct animation on the client and will no longer cause the character to be teleported from the correct position.
• Enemies playing hit reaction animations will no longer deal damage from their melee attacks that started right before the hit reaction. This should reduce the risk of unexpected damage in close combat with melee weapons.
