Gameplay Changes

• General
  • Final Stage
    • 🌧 The final stage has been redone entirely, with unique objectives and a new, large arena to play in. We won’t spoil it. Please let us know how you feel!
  • Low Health Threshold
    • 20% ⇒ 25%
  • NPC AI
    • All AI now have dramatically improved pathfinding
    • All AI now gets position updates on targets who are invisible only every few seconds, rather than losing the target entirely
  • Minions
    • Drones no longer have resistance to AOE attacks
    • 🌧 All minions now teleport to their owner if they stray past 400m
    • 🌧 All Minions now scale to the ‘ambient level’ of the run
      Developer’s Notes: The ‘ambient level’ is the level of the run that grows over time. Previously, the enemy team used the ‘ambient level’ to set their level. Now, all enemies AND minions are at ambient level. The result of this is that player minions, like ghosts from Happiest Mask, purchased Drones, and yes - the Squid Polyp - will scale much better over time. This matches drone scaling in RoR1.

    • Nano-BombCharged Nano-Bomb (Secondary)Stunning. Charge up a exploding nano-bomb that deals 400%-2000% damage.
      Survivor: Artificer
      • Tendril Damage: 20% of explosion ⇒ 10% of explosion
      • Tendril Fire Frequency: 0.25s ⇒ 0.125s
    • Tendril Same Target Frequency: 2s ⇒ 1s
      Developer Notes: This change is made specifically to avoid the Artificer’s Nano-Bomb tendrils proccing Ice and Fire Bands. The tendrils will now fire twice as often, but at half the damage.
  • MercenaryMercenaryThe Mercenary is a high skill melee survivor that uses his many dodges to weave in and out of combat.
    Class: Melee
    HP: 110 (+33 per level)
    Damage: 12 (+2.4 per level)
    Armor: 20
    Umbra: Hired Blade
    • Blinding AssaultBlinding Assault (Utility)Stunning. Dash forward, dealing 300% damage. If you hit an enemy, you can dash again, up to 3 total.
      Survivor: Mercenary
      • 🌧 Now has a lingering 0.2s invincibility to help chain together Blinding Assaults in high-latency online games
• Items
  • Bustling FungusBustling Fungus
    Heal all nearby allies after standing still for 1 second.
    After standing still for 1 second, create a zone that heals for 4.5% (+2.25% per stack) of your health every second to all allies within 3m (+1.5m per stack).
    • Start Delay: 2s ⇒ 1s
    • Now heals at a higher tick rate - overall healing is the same, but the healing is smoother over time
    • 🌧 Now has small visual mushrooms that grow over the area
  • Energy DrinkEnergy Drink
    Increase sprint speed by +25%.
    Sprint speed is improved by 25% (+25% per stack).
    • 🌧 Speed Boost: 30% (+20% per stack) ⇒ 25% (+25% per stack)
      Developer Notes: Mathematically, the Energy Drink was worse than the Goat Hoof for speed after the first pickup, even while sprinting. This change will consistently make Energy Drink stronger when sprinting, and also makes its stacking behavior more consistent. This may make the Energy Drink too strong, but it’ll at least make a bit more sense now.
  • AP RoundsArmor-Piercing Rounds
    Deal extra damage to bosses.
    Deal an additional 20% damage (+20% per stack) to bosses.
    • Improve visual effects to be more noticeable
  • Focus CrystalFocus Crystal
    Deal bonus damage to nearby enemies.
    Increase damage to enemies within 13m by 20% (+20% per stack).
    • Damage Boost: 15% (+15% per stack) ⇒ 20% (+20% per stack)
    • Now shows radius for ‘nearby’ distance
    • Now causes numbers to be pink when active
      Developer Notes: There are many characters and builds where the Focus Crystal should shine through - however, it never seems to be quite high priority enough for the effort required. We’re hoping that by making it both flashier and stronger, players will prioritize it.
  • Rusted KeyRusted Key
    Gain access to a Rusty Lockbox that contains a powerful item.
    A hidden cache containing an item (80%/20%) will appear in a random location on each stage. Opening the cache consumes this item.
    • 🌧 Now subtly glows and pulses
    • Now grants items at the same rarity as a Large Chest
    • Now spawns a Lockbox per player with a Rusted Key
    • Now consumes a Rusted Key when a lockbox is opened, and requires a Rusted Key to open
    • No longer scales reward chance with the number of Keys in your inventory
      Developer Notes: People have always been a bit confused about the behavior of the Rusted Key, so we made it make a bit more sense by actually consuming a key to open. 1 Key = 1 Box. Since the item no longer gives ‘infinite’ items, we can also make it a bit stronger and make the lockbox more noticeable.
  • CrowbarCrowbar
    Deal bonus damage to enemies above 90% health.
    Deal +75% (+75% per stack) damage to enemies above 90% health.
    • Damage Boost: +50%(+50% per stack) ⇒ +75% (+75% per stack)
    • Improve visual effects to be more noticeable
    • Update pickup text to include the damage threshold
      Developer Notes: Same reasoning as Focus Crystal - there are many heavy-hitter builds and characters, but Crowbars aren’t prioritized.
  • GasolineGasoline
    Killing an enemy ignites other nearby enemies.
    Killing an enemy ignites all enemies within 12m (+4m per stack) for 150% base damage. Additionally, enemies burn for 150% (+75% per stack) base damage.
    • Now deals 150% base damage on detonation alongside the burn effect
  • Stun GrenadeStun Grenade
    Chance to stun on hit.
    5% (+5% on stack) chance on hit to stun enemies for 2 seconds.
    • Added visual effect when the item procs
  • Bison Steak (New! Yum!)Bison Steak
    Gain 25 max health.
    Increases maximum health by 25 (+25 per stack).
    • Replaced ‘Fresh Meat’ item
    • No longer grants regeneration on kill
    • Now grants 25 (+25 per stack) max health
  • Tri-Tip DaggerTri-Tip Dagger
    Gain +10% chance to bleed enemies on hit.
    10% (+10% per stack) chance to bleed an enemy for 240% base damage.
    • Bleed Chance: 15% (+15% per stack) ⇒ 10% (+10% per stack)
      Developer Notes: Right now, bleed is okay until you can stack it infinitely, in which case it becomes incredibly strong. We want to smooth out the power curve a bit, increasing the number of daggers required for ‘infinite’ bleed to match the number of Glasses required for 100% crit.
  • Lepton DaisyLepton Daisy
    Periodically release a healing nova during the Teleporter event and 'Holdout Zones' such as the Void Fields.
    Release a healing nova during the Teleporter event, healing all nearby allies for 50% of their maximum health. Occurs 1 (+1 per stack) times.
    • 🌧 Now activates in all ‘holdout zones’, like Void FieldsVoid Fields (Hidden Realm)
      Cosmic Prison
      Hidden Realm accessible only through the Bazaar Between Time. Until the cell is stabilized, the Void Fields will constantly "suffocate" the player for a small percentage of their current health., and not just during the Teleporter Event
  • Old War StealthkitOld War Stealthkit
    Turn invisible at low health.
    Falling below 25% health causes you to gain 40% movement speed and invisibility for 5s. Recharges every 30 seconds (-50% per stack).
    • Now activates when falling to low health, rather than as a chance when hurt
    • Stealth Duration: 3s (+1.5s per stack) ⇒ 5s
    • Stealth Cooldown: 0s ⇒ 30s (-50% per stack)
  • BandolierBandolier
    Chance on kill to drop an ammo pack that resets all skill cooldowns.
    18% (+10% per stack) chance on kill to drop an ammo pack that resets all skill cooldowns.
    • 🌧 Packs now restocks skills by the amount a full cooldown would
    • 🌧 Packs now also apply to stashed skills, like MUL-T'sMUL-TMUL-T is an aggressive survivor who has the tools necessary for any job!
      Class: Melee / Ranged
      HP: 200 (+60 per level)
      Damage: 11 (+2.2 per level)

      Umbra: Right Tool for the Wrong Job second primary
  • Radar Scanner45sRadar Scanner
    Reveal all nearby interactables.
    Reveal all interactables within 500m for 10 seconds.
    • 🌧 Now details if an interactable is a Barrel, Chest, Drone, Shrine, or something unknown
  • Frost RelicFrost Relic
    Killing enemies surrounds you with an ice storm.
    Killing an enemy surrounds you with an ice storm that deals 1200% damage per second and slows enemies by 80% for 1.5s. The storm grows with every kill, increasing its radius by 2m. Stacks up to 18m (+12m per stack).
    • 🌧 Now applies ice slow debuff80% Slow (Debuff)
      Reduces movement speed by 80% (in practice, 45.5%).
    • 🌧 Now has a softer visual
    • Damage Coefficient: 150% ⇒ 300%
    • Radius: 3m (+1.5m per kill) ⇒ 6m (+3m per kill)
  • H3AD-5T v2H3AD-5T v2
    Increase jump height. Hold 'Interact' to slam down to the ground.
    Increase jump height. Creates a 5m-100m radius kinetic explosion on hitting the ground, dealing 1000%-10000% base damage that scales up with fall distance. Recharges in 10 (-50% per stack) seconds.
    • 🌧 Now calculates damage from distance traveled, not speed on impact
      Developer Notes: Even though this makes less sense from a physics standpoint, it will align better with player expectations. Super long fall = big boom.
  • Resonance DiskResonance Disc
    Obtain a Resonance Disc charged by killing enemies. Fires automatically when fully charged.
    Killing 4 enemies in 7 seconds charges the Resonance Disc. The disc launches itself toward a target for 300% base damage (+300% per stack), piercing all enemies it doesn't kill, and then explodes for 1000% base damage (+1000% per stack). Returns to the user, striking all enemies along the way for 300% base damage (+300% per stack).
    • Redo firing logic to be more understandable
      • Now grants 1 stacking buff per kill, lasting 5 seconds
      • Now fires the Disk at 4 stacks, resetting all stacks
  • Defiant GougeDefiant Gouge
    Using a Shrine summons enemies nearby.
    Using a Shrine summons enemies (stronger per stack) nearby. Scales over time.
    • 🌧 Monster Spawn Points: 100 (+100 per stack) ⇒ 40 (+40 per stack)
      Developer Notes: A single Gouge would spawn way too many monsters. Now, having 1 or 2 Gouges should be a reasonable option.
  • Focused ConvergenceFocused Convergence
    Increase the speed of Teleporter charging... BUT reduce the size of the zone.
    Teleporters charge 30% (+30% per stack) faster, but the size of the Teleporter zone is 50% (-50% per stack) smaller.
    • 🌧 Now activates in all ‘holdout zones’, like Void FieldsVoid Fields (Hidden Realm)
      Cosmic Prison
      Hidden Realm accessible only through the Bazaar Between Time. Until the cell is stabilized, the Void Fields will constantly "suffocate" the player for a small percentage of their current health., and not just during the Teleporter Event
  • Queen’s GlandQueen's Gland
    Recruit a Beetle Guard.
    Every 30 seconds, summon a Beetle Guard with bonus 300% damage and 100% health. Can have up to 1 (+1 per stack) Guards at a time.
    • Limit of deployed Beetle Guards now doubles for Artifact of SwarmsSwarmsMonster spawns are doubled, but monster maximum health is halved.

  • Halcyon SeedHalcyon Seed
    Summon Aurelionite during the Teleporter event.
    Summon Aurelionite during the teleporter event. It has 100% (+50% per stack) damage and 100% (+100% per stack) health.
    • Changed summoned Aurelionite pre-stack scaling from current-difficulty-based hp + damage bonuses to leveling up to the ambient level like other summoned characters
    • Summoned Aurelionite attention span: 5s ⇒ 15s
      Developer Notes: Aurelionite’s raised attention span should make it less likely to get distracted by weaker monsters attacking it so it’s more likely to spend its time fighting stronger monsters.
  • Mired UrnMired Urn
    Siphon health from nearby enemies while in combat.
    While in combat, the nearest 1 (+1 per stack) enemies to you within 13m will be 'tethered' to you, dealing 100% damage per second, applying tar, and healing you for 100% of the damage dealt.
    • No longer capable of targeting and healing from allies
• Monster

    • Mortar Projectile Count: 3 ⇒ 1
    • Mortar Projectile now has more visible trail
      Developer Notes: When fighting Hermit Crabs, it’s always been difficult to parse where and how many there are. To help clarify their behavior, we made it clearer so 1 mortar = 1 crab.
