Update v1.1.3 - Resonance Update

Hey Shapers,

Here's a new update for you!

In this Resonance Update, we're introducing new features and balances for everything from Overlords, bosses, abilities, weapons, mods, and those pesky Curse debuffs. Our goal with this update is to improve the early game experience for new players, diversify player builds and weapon viability, and make adjustments benefiting the overall experience.

Much of this update stems from community feedback, so a huge thanks for everyone's thoughts and suggestions!

✨ New Features:

Stacks of Player Curse can quickly become overwhelming, so here are a few ways to remove it, or use it to turn Ada into a glass cannon:

• New consumable called the Purge Kit can be used to remove some curse stacks

• New version of the Corrupted Vault now appears close to Huck and Hauly where you can purchase the Purge Kit with credits

• New override reward floor hack that gives you a Purge Kit

• New weapon mod can now appear on corrupted weapons that increase your damage based on the number of curse stacks you have

We've also made adjustments to the Strike Core, Charge Rate Mods, and Steam features:
