NEW TO COSMOS

  • Updated the active Artifact "CATALYST" in world item to have better feedback when targeting enemies and also allowing the CATYLIST to target any nearby enemies if the current enemy target is killed

  • Increased base health of all Basic Enemies by at least 20%

  • Added a Top Mounted Autocannon to the Starship that auto targets the last enemy you came into contact with. This weapon can be upgraded with some of the multiple Artifacts that have undergone changes in this patch.

  • Updated the Compendium to include information on the Top Mounted AutoCanoon "TMAC"

AUGMENTS

Recall Module (Deans Co-Pilot Augment) (UPDATED)

I have removed the "Triggering a Blink teleports all ARTH-R drones back to Dean" as it was causing unwanted interactions with multiple bosses. The new Co-Pilot Augment allows dean to empower his ARTH-R drones by using his abilities (Overcharge, Blink and Hex Missiles)

Companionship (Deans Level 20 Augment) (UPDATED)

Increased the radius of the Shocking Field spawned from ARTH-R Drones overlapping Solar Cannon (Luna's Hero Augment) (NEW)

The Top Mounted AutoCannon now has two barrels an fires twice as fast.

Top Mounted Cannon shots are empowered while Overcharging is active Lunaris Blessing (Luna's Hero Augment) (REMOVED)

Accept the blessing of Lunarius and summon 4 Protective shields that stop enemy projectiles. Using abilities evolves the shields in unpredictable ways.

ARTIFACTS

Laser Focusing Module (REMOVED)

Gain 50% of your current laser damage as Ballistic Damage

Laser Optics (REMOVED)

+20 Attack Range, +15 Laser Damage

Tooth Key Piece (REMOVED)

Find the Other Key Piece!

Loop Key Piece (REMOVED)

Find the Other Key Piece!

Mark Of Haste (REMOVED)

+50% Attack Speed

Stardust (NEW)

Gain a Wish if you have all 5 Celestial Rocks (This still triggers but the Artifact has been updated)

These Artifacts have been removed due to their less impactful game play and niche and uninteresting interactions with enemies and starship abilities, the newer ones feel way more powerful and rewarding!

Mounted Plasma Coils (NEW)

The Top Mounted Autocannon also fires Plasma Infused Blasts

TriCannon (NEW)

The Top Mounted Autocannon fires in bursts of 3

Opticannon (NEW)

Augment the Top Mounted Autocannon to also fire Macro Missiles

Combine this with the Data Relay to call in Orbital Bombardments on enemies within the Rift

Data Relay (NEW)

Combine this with the Comms Array Artifact to call in Orbital Bombardments on enemies within the Rift

Sidewinder Laser Ram (NEW)

Asteroids spawn more Loot when destroyed

BUGS FIXED

  • Fixed an issue with the Cosmic Echo "Cursed Skull" spawning at an incorrect rotation

  • Fixed an issue with the Elemental Gunship (Now called Orbital Starship) not spawning when both Artifacts are collected (was spawned from Tooth/Loop Key Pieces)

  • Fixed a bug with the Cluster Mines and Blink mines causing them to sometimes not target enemies correctly

  • Fixed issues with transitioning between menus not having the correct animations and fading within the Collection Menu

  • Fixed multiple spelling mistakes on Rift Anomalies, Artifacts and Augments
