changedDNA FeatureDNA are buffs you search for in-world or earn by completing missions. You evolve them from common to epic and install up to 3 of them. They are designed for you to select your playstyle. For example, a DPS soldier may use Weapon Gas Damage + Reload Speed + Range. A tank may use Player HP + Support DNA. A harvester may use Grappling range + Enemy coins DNA. A builder may use Tower Gas Damage + Tower HP DNA.
changedManual ReloadManual reload is probably the most asked for feature and we finally implemented it. Since manual reload uses both hands, thereby losing the ability to dual-wield weapons, the DPS reward must be big. So, if you manually reload your weapon, you can continuously fire your weapon, unleashing a bullet storm onto enemies. Manually reloading a weapon also tops up the magazine so you never lose ammo.
changedThe Anti Gravity LauncherIntroducing the first weapon found in-world, the Anti-gravity launcher. While searching for DNA, there’s a 25% chance you’ll find this powerful weapon. Send the mutants to space!
addedTarget Strong and OverchargeStrategists can now program towers to target the strongest enemy. They also can overcharge towers. An overcharged tower gets ludicrous damage, range, and HP, until it self-destructs 45 seconds later.
addedMid-air ExplosionsStrategists can now explode arrows mid-air using the trigger! Just upgrade you bow to rare to get rid of those pesky flying cowboys!
addedNew Main MenuThe new main menu has a bedroom where you select a hero, a big lab, and a terminal. At the center is a spore tree that shows you the number of spores you’ve collected by completing missions. The lab features 3D weapons and storage shelves and a DNA section where you can evolve and install DNA.
