Known issues

Due to the fact that summons are controlled by the server in multiplayer, it is highly recommended that the Pathfinder player be the host, otherwise there will be latency in commanding Squall.

The Pathfinder

The Pathfinder is a glass cannon melee survivor who commands a robotic falcon, Squall. Together, they can dish out tremendous DPS, and take down any game!

• Squall can be commanded to focus on selected enemies, or return to you when necessary.
• Unlike other melee survivors, you have low HP and no armor; poke from afar when necessary and choose your engagements wisely.
• The Pathfinder prefers items that increase his burst damage potential, while Squall benefits greatly from attack speed and critical chance.
• Lysate Cell is highly recommended!

This survivor was inspired by Insect Glaive from Monster Hunter, and Rexxar from the Warcraft series.

Important

This is an early access, alpha release of a WIP survivor. He is still incomplete, and in active development. As such, please understand that he may be buggy, and that many things are still liable to change for the 1.0 release, even his gameplay and kit design. My intent on releasing him as he is now is to find bugs and to gather external feedback. Please feel free to contact Bog#4770 on discord with bug reports or feedback. For now, a config file has been provided for you to play around with some of his values.

• Massively reduced emission strength of the Thrust VFX

• Changed Pathfinder's default sort order in the character select lobby to be right after Loader
    - This can be configured

0.5.0

0.4.3

• Created new config option to enable/disable Squall's laser pointer

• Fixed camera not following the ragdoll post-death

• Shock Bolas' initial explosion now applies slight downward force to airborne enemies

0.4.0

• Added Mastery skin

• Squall's missile launcher is back to firing projectiles instead of orbs
    - The orb missiles had poor synergy with Backup Mags, so I am reverting the change.
    
• Fleetfoot's dash distance will now receive diminishing returns from movement speed
    - To compensate, the base distance has been increased.
    - This will result in a greater dash distance at below ~185% movement speed, and lower distance at greater values.
    
• Rending Talons default cooldown reduced from 8 to 6 seconds.
    
• Rending Talons now grants a movement speed buff and 100% air control while airborne.

• Added a VFX trail to Rending Talons to better reflect its hitbox.
    - This is a temporary measure while I work on real VFX.
    - But I might just keep it as is.

0.3.2

• Improved logic for Go for the Throat
    - Should no longer interfere with Nemmando's Gouge (let me know if it still does)

0.3.1

• Item displays for Trophy Hunter's Tricorn and Sawmerang were producing wonky bugs so I'm temporarily disabling them while I work on a fix
• Spare Drone Parts added to Squall's item blacklist
    - He will still benefit from their effects should you pick up the item

0.3.0

• Added item displays for vanilla + SotV items
• Squall's missile launcher now fires an orb instead of a projectile
    - This should result in better performance and 100% accuracy, but missiles will no longer retarget
• Removed Kjaro's and Runald's bands from Squall's item blacklist
• Config should now update automatically with new patches

0.2.5

• (Hopefully) Fixed issue where Go for the Throat would not recharge Squall's battery as a guest in multiplayer
    - Might require further testing. Please contact me if the issue persists
• Minor code optimization

0.2.4

• This time for sure (please)

0.2.3

• Emergency update cause I'm a dumbass and broke some serious shit

• Fixed some config inconsistencies
• Slightly adjusted Squall's missile launcher to fire a missile at the start instead of the halfway point
• Dio's Best Friend and Pluripotent Larva added to Squall's item blacklist
• Fixed issue where reviving with Dio's Best Friend or Pluripotent Larva would cause Squall's battery and skill icons to disappear

0.2.0

0.1.4

• Forgot to actually implement the config changes last time

0.1.3

• Activating Follow mode now teleports Squall to you if the distance is great enough
