changedThese performance improvements have allowed us to ramp up the fire rate to match levels not seen since the game was first in development. While it was fun to flood the screen with copious amounts of bullets, we found the 4 seconds per frame was less than optional. Gone are those days, with many performance optimizations in nearly every facet of the game. Lock and load, and ride the recoil straight on to salvation!
changedAlongside these performance improvements, we deliver to you, Brog’s Motivator, the marksman’s signature rifle. Who is Brog you might ask? Well, that’s a story for another time. Just know that anyone caught in his scope would be expected to be “moving on'' quite quickly. This slower firing, high damage rifle is perfect for those who value critical strikes, with lethal rewards for those who are brave and patient enough to take the shot while stationary.
addedLast on the highlight list is our new Artifact type, Projectile Tracking. With this, you have learned to curve the bullet, or hone in on the energy of lost souls, whatever floats your goat. This new Artifact deck will grant you soul seeking bullets that can drive their way to the nearest target in their line of sight, giving a literal supernatural accuracy.
addedAs always, we have more great things cooking, and are looking forward to your feedback to help build some crazy possibilities. Our deck expansions are only getting better, and the weapons are only going to get spicier. Expect some updates to the Grimoire, and maybe a new twist to abilities and artifacts soon. Check below for the full patch notes, and keep in touch for more Eldritch evolutions!
