V3.4.0

• Fixed broken upload format that caused the Custom folder to not load.

V3.3.0

V1.0.0

• Final Expedition added.

• E2 "Courage"

• Misc. changes.

• Updated description of D3 "Ravage" to be more descriptive.
• Fixed some typos. This includes some stats displayed on weapons.

• Weapon Balance changes.

• Reduced charge time on Soul Sniper.
• XHM Cannon Mag reduced 55 -> 50, reload time increased by 6%.
• Metalstorm SMG overhauled. 2 -> 4 Damage, 60 -> 45 Mag, 250 -> 125 Stock, reload time decreased by 9%. This should significantly push it into truly having the highest DPS out of the primary weapons while still being the least efficient.
• Rift Welder charge time removed.
• Void Sniper pierce 1 -> 2. Not having pierce made this weapon extremely inefficient compared to every other secondary. It should now be much more viable.

V0.1.1

• A1 "Legacy" rebalance.

• Generally increased enemy population density.

• A2 "Endurance" rebalance.

• Reduced the size of zones directly connected to the spawn zone by 50% to increase enemy population density and reduce back tracking.
• Fixed a bug where PDECs did not display in terminals.

• Changes missed in previous patch notes

• Level "difficulty" ratings revised for all expeditions to better match their true nature of challenge.

V0.1.0

• New Expeditions Added.

• A1 "Legacy"
• A2 "Endurance"

• Previously made expeditions shifted.

• A Tier -> B Tier
• B Tier -> C Tier
• C Tier -> D Tier
• Easier missions added for new A Tier.

The A Tier previously was a bit difficult for entry-level solo play. Shifting A through C Tiers down and adding an easier A Tier should grant a more welcoming experience for players who have little prior solo experience. (Dev note: this also makes it easier on my end since I don't have to find a way to make levels harder than previous C Tier but easier than E Tier.)

• Secondary Weapon rebalance.

• Rift Welder +30% -> -20% Crit, 750 -> 600 RPM
• Heatsink 100% -> -20% Crit, 2x -> 1x Stagger, 1200 -> 750 RPM

• Friendly Sentry rebalance.

• 500 -> 400 RPM. This will make it last longer but kill less enemies per wave.
• 100% -> 80% Crit. This should standardize it's performance against Charger and Non-Charger enemies.

• Bleeder rebalance.

• Strafing removed. They will now always aggressively run down the player.
• Tentacle cooldown 8 -> 12 seconds. They will now be more interested in clawing the player.
• Tentacle range 8.5 -> 8 meters.
• Giant Bleeder Stagger Resist 35 -> 32.

• Grappler & Bloody Mass rebalance.

• Tentacle range 8.5 -> 5 meters. This should increase the counterplay of staggering them and making positioning more lenient.

With this change, Grapplers will now be the easiest to stun but frequently try to combo the player. Bleeders will be slightly harder to stun but mostly try to melee the player to inflict rapid bleeding. Chargers don't have any special properties to their attack, but deal the most damage and are the hardest to stun. This will probably be the final adjustment to these enemies.

V0.0.8

• Bleeders rebalanced.

• Stagger Resist 10 -> 8.

• Emperor Chargers rebalanced.

• Scream Delay 45 -> 300 seconds. This should prevent them from alerting multiple rooms during an encounter.
• HP 800 -> 850
• Glue Tolerance 30 -> 40
• Freeze Time 5 -> 8

• Fixed an issue where during the second sequence of E1 "Fear," waves were unable to spawn the Weakling and Standard role if you repeated the level.

V0.0.7

• New Expedition added.

• E1 "Fear"

• Soul Sniper rebalance.

• Mag Size 1 -> 2, semi automatic.

• Assassin Knife rebalance.

• Charged Damage 7 -> 9.

V0.0.6

• New Expedition added.

• B2 "Seer"

• Bleeders rebalanced.

• Melee bleed chance 65% -> 100%.
• Tentacle Damage 12% -> 10%, bleed chance 85% -> 100%.
• Bleeding damage 7.5%/10 seconds -> 15%/15 seconds.
• 19.5% -> 25% total damage from a full bleed.

• Giant Bleeders rebalanced.

• Melee bleed chance 75% -> 100%.
• Tentacle Damage 18% -> 15%, bleed chance 85% -> 100%.
• Bleed damage 25%/10 seconds -> 30%/10 seconds.
• 43% -> 45% total damage from a full bleed.

• King Bleeders rebalanced.

• Bleed damage 100%/10 seconds -> 50%/20 seconds.
• 120% -> 70% total damage from a full bleed.
• This aims to remove the Lethality factor from King Bleeders, while still leaving them as an extremely dangerous threat.
• For reference, their King Grappler cousin deals 88% damage if they successfully grapple and melee the player, but only 28% if they fail to combo.

• Tentacle Bleed tick rate is now 50% of Melee Bleed tick rate, but deals double damage. The total damage and duration is the same.

The goal of this change to Bleed is to make the status effect less punishing if you use a medkit quickly, but more punishing if you do not heal. This also aims to reduce the RNG of being "lucky" and not being inflicted with bleed. Bleed will now always occur if a Bleeder hits you.

• Grapplers rebalanced.

• Tentacle cooldown 8 -> 4 seconds.
• Tentacle damage 10% -> 8%.
• Stagger Resist 8 -> 5 damage.

• Giant Grapplers rebalanced.

• Tentacle cooldown 10 -> 4 seconds.
• Melee damage 30% -> 24%.
• Stagger Resist 35 -> 30 damage.

This change should further differentiate Grappler behavior from Chargers as they will more frequently attempt to pull you in for a combo. Their combo is also now more likely to land successfully but will deal less total damage. It's also now easier to interrupt them.

King Grapplers are exempt from this change for balancing purposes as their combo will nearly instant kill a player from 100% HP.

• Light Grapple effect rebalanced. This applies to: Grapplers, Crawling Grapplers, Explosive Grapplers, Crystalline Strikers, and Crystalline Chargers.

• Pull strength 1.5 -> 2.5.

• Heavy Grapple effect rebalanced. This applies to: Giant Grapplers, Grappler Franks, The Patriarch, Explosive Giant Grapplers, Explosive Grappler Franks, Crystalline Franks, Crystalline King, and King Grapplers.

• Pull strength 1.8 -> 5.

• Soft Stagger (bullet damage disrupting tentacle attacks) disabled for the following enemies:

• King Chargers, Grapplers, Giant Grapplers, King Grapplers, King Bleeders

V0.0.5

• Updated Giant Brawler model.

• Bug fixes.

• Fixed an issue with the Giant Brawler model where the entire left arm would block bullets.

V0.0.4

• New Expedition added.

• B1 "Frenzy"

• A2 "Hacker" rebalance.

• For the bridge alarm: reduced the quantity of enemies and the rate at which they spawn and respawn. This should make the second alarm less kiting heavy.

• C1 "Den of Giants" rebalance.

• Added more dangerous enemy variants to the last 2 zones and final alarm. The difficulty beyond the first 3 zones drops significantly, so this should maintain the level of challenge throughout the level.

• Bug fixes.

• Fixed dev zone numbers.

V0.0.3

• A1 "The Breach" rebalance.

• Added tool refills and 1 use of med & ammo prior to the Blood Door.
• Turned the lights on.

V0.0.2

• New Expeditions added.

• A2 "Hacker"
• C1 "Den of Giants"

• Bug fixes.
